Consider the Comforter

"I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass, and forgettest the Lord thy Maker that hath stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth?" (Isaiah 51:12,13).

Who are we that we should fret
For fear of man that dies?
How is it that we soon forget
Our Lord who made the skies?

Our Comforter is God who made
The earth and its foundation,
And this is also He Who paid
The price for our salvation.

Consider Him who bids us cease
To fear mere mortal man.
He is our Comfort and our Peace,
Who holds us with His hand.

For though He reigns upon His throne
In awesome majesty,
He is the Lover of His own
For all Eternity.
