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.
“Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” (Colossians 3:11)
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

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.
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
“For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.” (Mark 6:50)

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.
“The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” (Jeremiah 31:3)
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” (John 15:9)
“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12)
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” (Psalm 32:8)
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” (Isaiah 40:29)

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.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” (Ephesians 6:10)
“Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.” (Psalm 32:2)
“Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.” (Isaiah 48:17)
“The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” (Psalm 34:7)
“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)
