He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
~Lina Sandell
Lina Sandell (1832-1903) At the age of 26, she went with her father Jonas Sandell, a Lutheran pastor on a boat trip, during which he fell overboard and drowned before her eyes. The tragedy affected Lina, inspiring her to write hymns. She poured out her broken heart in an endless stream of beautiful songs. Sandell is known as the Fanny Crosby of Sweden. ~Wiki
