Competent to Comfort

"The God of all comfort... comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort which we ourselves are comforted of God.... knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4,7).

In all our tribulation
Our God has wisely planned
To grant His consolation
That we may thereby stand.

And thus by this experience
Through which our Lord will lead,
We thereby gain the competence
To comfort those in need.
