Counsel of His Comfort


"I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live... My meditation of Him shall be sweet" (Ps 104:33,34).  "Whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely" (Proverbs 1:33).  "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings" (Jeremiah 3:22).  "The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven... so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

There is a song that God will give
With counsel that He will impart
That strengthens us so we may live
To serve the Lord with all our heart. 

There is a meditation that is sweet
To those who think upon the Lord. 
In Christ there is a safe retreat
Where wayward souls may be restored. 

The comfort of our Savior heals
The broken heart He will restore
With endless joy that He reveals
When we are with Him evermore.

O Lord, we thank You for Your Word
Which in the darkness shines Your light. 
The counsel of Your comfort heard
Restores our song throughout the night.
