267. A Fullness Resides in Jesus Our Head

10s or 11s.
by J. Fawcett
1
A fullness resides in Jesus our Head;
 
A fullness abides to answer all need:
 
The Father’s good pleasure has laid up a store,
 
A plentiful treasure, to give to the poor.
2
Whatever distress awaits us below,
 
Such plentiful grace the Lord will bestow,
 
As still shall support us and silence our fear,
 
And nothing can hurt us while Jesus is near.
3
When sorrows assail us, or terrors draw nigh,
 
His love will not fail us, He’ll guard with His eye;
 
And when we are fainting and ready to fail,
 
He’ll give what is wanting, and make us prevail.
4
We trust His protection; we’ll lean on His might;
 
We’re sure His direction will guide us aright:
 
We know who surrounds us, almighty to save;
 
And no one confounds us the Savior who have.
“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” (Hebrews 7:26)
“Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.” (Psalm 106:8-10)
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” (1 Peter 2:6)
