Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. (1 Peter 1:3,6) |
Oh, mighty power that holds me, A Helper forever near! Oh, perfect peace that folds me In danger and storm and fear! |
Oh, jubilant joy sustaining My faltering steps to the last! Oh, rapturous rest remaining When toiling and tears are past! |
