B/W Photodude Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I was reading through Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings when I came across this statement: "His glory is His children's good: His joy, His tender Fatherhood." (p.77) I noted that unlike much of the text around it, it had quote marks and I thought this came from another writer. Curiosity got the best of me and I set out to find where it came from. Really was a short search to find that it was written by John Greenleaf Whittier. (https://books.google.com/books?id=BUY_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA281&lpg=PA281&dq=His+glory+is+His+children's+good:+His+joy,+His+tender+Fatherhood.&source=bl&ots=6RJXOOir69&sig=3szpZ3No2i-3H-V5wSliIJp2JqI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwib1KPDkKDVAhXFPD4KHV3hD9wQ6AEIOTAF#v=onepage&q=His glory is His children's good%3A His joy%2C His tender Fatherhood.&f=false) Songs of John Greenleaf Whittier are in the SDA Hymnal they are: 376 - All Things Are Thine 455 - Immortal Love, Forever Full 480 - Dear Lord and Father 481 - Dear Lord and Father Given that EGW had an interest in the abolition of slavery, it is also no surprise that she was acquainted with the writings of Whittier.
