"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation" (Habakkuk 3:17,18).
Temporary treasures fail.
The flower blossoms fade.
Mortal flesh must soon grow pale,
And in the grave be laid.
Giving thanks for bread each day
Must surely have its place;
Yet this too will pass away
Without a lasting trace.
Yet in God I will rejoice,
And joy in His salvation!
So to Him I lift my voice
With grateful adoration!
