"Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters... so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God... for we are exceedingly filled... with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud" (Psalm 123:2-4).
How good it is to keep our eyes
Upon the Lord our God,
And not upon the so-called wise
This world will applaud.
This is the serenity
That God gives to His own:
Our sole escape from vanity
Is in our Lord alone.
How bitter the alternative,
When scorning fills our soul!
How sweet it is at last to give
Our Savior full control!
As servants of the Lord we wait
To do as He will please,
And thus our joy and peace are great,
Though scorned by those at ease.
