Heavenly Hope

“Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling” (Psalm 91:9,10).  “Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us… hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace” (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17). 

Because we have found such a safe habitation

And refuge in Him who has loved us so well,

No evil can part us from His great salvation

Or spoil His resting place wherein we dwell.

Because we have fled to our refuge in Christ,

We’ve found consolation enduring forever,

For God has declared that His cross has sufficed

To give us assurance that no one can sever.

O Lord, we are debtors to Your wondrous love

Extending Your comfort and good hope through grace.

How sweet is this heavenly hope from above

Which holds us in Your everlasting embrace!
