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.
