“The
LORD is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage….
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in
hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in
hell; neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy
presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:5-11).
“The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath
hope in his death” (Proverbs 14:32).
How
great is the Portion we have in the Lord!
How
pleasant the lines are defining our treasure!
How
good is the heritage we look toward:
In
Christ we have hope and joy beyond measure!
How
sweet is the knowledge of hope that is sure,
Confirmed
by our Savior at His resurrection!
Our
heart and our soul are forever secure;
Our
flesh rests in hope with this great expectation!
It’s
not that we’re worthy of this hope we claim.
Praise
God! Jesus Christ on the cross has
procured
Salvation
for all who will call on His name:
By
grace we are saved, and through faith we’re assured!
The
wicked are those who at last will refuse
The
hope thus extended to all who repent.
They’re
driven away by the path that they choose,
And
thus to a grave without hope they are sent.
O
Lord, give we thanks for this heavenly view
Of
life everlasting You’ve shown on this path,
Which
clearly foretold what You surely would do
To
conquer the grave and to save us from wrath!
