| We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken. (2 Cor. 4:8‑9) |
| Neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. (Neh. 8:10) |
| These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15:11) |
The sweet companionship of One
Who once the desert trod;
The glorious fellowship with One
Upon the throne of God. |
The joy no desolation here
Can reach or cloud or dim —
The present Lord, the living God,
And we alone with Him. |
