88. Have You Read It?

1 Have you read the blessed letter from our Father up above
To his children who are still one earth below?
Have you heard the tender message of his never failing love,
That the smallest and the weakest ones may know.

Refrain:
Have you read the blessed letter?
‘Tis a loving Father’s thought;
Heart to heart he’s talking to you,
Do you prize it as you ought?

2 Have you read it in the silence so your heart could take it in?
Dwelling gladly on each promise day by day,
With a simple faith and child-like trusting ever in his word,
As you journey on the world’s alluring way. [Refrain]

3 Have you read the blessed letter till you see the Father’s love
Shining sweetly in the lines your fingers trace?
Treasure well each sacred message, it will bind your soul to him
Till you see him up in heaven face to face. [Refrain]
