IN LOVING MEMORY OF RICHARD BETTON RIMINGTON, Late Colonel R.E.
“Thoughts for an Afflicted Pilgrim.”
Selected by R. B. Rimington and read to him, by his request, the day before his death.
“In peace let me resign my breath, and Thy salvation see. My sins deserve eternal death, but Jesus died for me.”
Jesus our Saviour, we never can tell
All that it cost Thee to save us from Hell;
All that Thou suffered on Calvary’s tree,
That we in glory forever might be.”
“A poor, weak, and helpless worm, on Thy kind arms I fall,
Be Thou my strength, my righteousness, my Saviour and my all.”
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and Thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.”
“It is the Lord, let Him do what seemeth Him good.”
“Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.”
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
“I am waiting for the coming of the Lord, who died for me:
His words have thrilled my spirit— ‘I will come again for thee
I can almost hear His footsteps on the threshold of the door,
And my heart is longing, longing to be with Him evermore.”
“In the haven of eternal rest with Jesus ever nigh.”
“It is enough! earth’s struggles will soon be over, then rest, Heaven’s eternal rest.”
