“There’s a stream of trouble across my path;
It is black and deep and wide.
Bitter the hour the future hath
When I cross its swelling tide.
But I smile and sing and say:
‘I will hope and trust alway;
I’ll bear the sorrow that comes tomorrow,
But I’ll borrow none today.’
“Tomorrow’s bridge is a dangerous thing;
I dare not cross it now.
I can see its timbers sway and swing,
And its arches reel and bow.
O heart, you must hope alway;
You must sing and trust and say:
‘I’ll bear the sorrow that comes tomorrow,
But I’ll borrow none today.'”
(From Streams in the Desert, V. 1, June 9th)

As I found out: Streams in the Desert is a classic Christian devotional book compiled and written by Lettie B. Cowman (also known as Mrs. Charles E. Cowman), originally published in 1925. The book offers a daily reading for each day of the year, providing encouragement, spiritual insight, and comfort—especially for those experiencing hardship or suffering, which is often metaphorically likened to a “desert” in life.
The German title is: “Alle meine Quellen sind in dir”

@Heiko Thanks for this research, Heiko! I love SITD. I read both volumes while in college and still use them even now sometimes. I didn’t know this background on it. I can attest they do focus a lot on suffering and difficulties. They can be very comforting when going through the deserts of life.
