“Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and GOOD HOPE through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work” (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17).
How
good the hope is we’ve received
From
God our Father’s gracious hand!
We
know in whom we have believed,
And
by His grace alone we stand.
His
everlasting consolation
And
comfort of His love’s embrace
Is
ours forever with salvation
Established
by His saving grace.
Our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Who
gave Himself to save our soul,
Upon the cross was sacrificed
To pay our ransom there in
full.
The
love of God must surely be
Beyond
our comprehension’s scope,
Who
comforts us eternally
With
mercy that extends good hope!
How
great the contrast is we find
Between
the hope this world gives
(Mere
wishful thinking that is blind)
And
Christ our Lord who ever lives!
Lord,
thank You for Your precious Word
Which
rests upon Your faithfulness.
By
good hope we are thus assured,
Not
by a frail human guess!
Lord,
let the words that we should say
And
every work we’re called to do
Be
thus established to display
That
good hope only comes from You.
