Say Ye To The Righteous It Shall Be Well With Him
A 1901 sermon by Dr. Talmage urges weary souls to trust in Christ’s righteousness. It contrasts moral bankruptcy with divine imputed righteousness and extols God’s abundant provision of water air and sunlight as signs of providence. The talk envisions heaven as a comforting, inevitable outcome for believers and ends with a triumphant refrain that it shall be well.
