Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem. Isaiah 52:9.

It was Christ that spread the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth. It was His hand that hung the worlds in space, and fashioned the flowers of the field.... It was He that filled the earth with beauty, and the air with song.—The Desire of Ages, 20.

“Dwellers at the world’s far end
are awed at the proofs of thy power,
and lands of sunrise and of sunset
    sing joyfully of thee....
The very pastures of the downs o’erflow,
the hills wear girdles of joy.”

Psalm 65:8, 12, Moffatt.

From the solemn roll of the deep-toned thunder and old ocean’s ceaseless roar, to the glad songs that make the forests vocal with melody, nature’s ten thousand voices speak His praise.—The Ministry of Healing, 411.

The birds are teachers of the sweet lesson of trust. Our heavenly Father provides for them; but they must gather the food, they must build their nests, and rear their young. Every moment they are exposed to enemies that seek to destroy them. Yet how cheerily they go about their work! how full of joy are their little songs!—Education, 117.
