“On Clouds Has Poured His Sunshine”

The country of Kazakhstan is an old country but yet young as a democracy, like this young boy on a horse.  This statue is on the main square in Almaty, former capital of Kazakhstan but now they are celebrating the 10 year birthday celebration of Astana (means capital in Kazakh) this weekend.  Almaty is still very much the financial capital of Kazakhstan.  The following poem is from Streams in the Desert.

O Thou of little faith,
God hath not failed thee yet!
When all looks dark and gloomy,
Thou dost so soon forget–

Forget that He has led thee,
And gently cleared thy way;
On clouds has poured His sunshine,
And turned thy night to day.

And if He’s helped thee hitherto,
He will not fail thee now;
How it must wound His loving heart
To see thy anxious brow!

Oh! doubt not any longer,
To Him commit thy way,
Whom in the past thou trusted,
And is ‘just the same today.’”
