IN HIS EMBRACE

 

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom…..” – Isaiah 40:11

“I ran to meet Him….fell at his feet, clasped Him around the knees, and begged Him to take me with Him. I shall never forget the kind and gentle manner in which He stooped, raised me up, and embraced me. It was so vivid, so real. I felt the very warmth of His body, as He held me in His arms” (Manifestation of Christ by Elder Orson F. Whitney, Through Memory’s Halls, 83)

 

I will follow Thee my God and My All

When I can see no more;

I will trust in Thee

When all hope flees;

I will praise Thy name

When I am left without ease;

I will nurture the seeds of my faith

With tears of my affliction;

Yet will I look up to heaven

And believe in Thy throne;

I will trust in the strength of Thine arms

To lift me and carry me home.
