Prudent Prisoners

"A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished" (Proverbs 22:3). "As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. Turn ye to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope" (Zechariah 9:11,12). "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

Turn now to the Hiding Place,
You prisoners of hope!
In Jesus Christ is saving grace,
A life preserving rope!

In Jesus Christ we safely rest;
We could not safer be!
His love has stood the strongest test;
His truth has set us free!
