| Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of THE HOPE that is in you, with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. (1 Peter 3:15‑16) |
| THE HOPE which is laid up for you in heaven. (Col. 1:5) |
Though our pilgrimage be dreary,
This is not our resting-place;
Shall we of the way be weary
When we see our Master’s face?
No — e’en now anticipating,
In THIS HOPE our souls rejoice,
And His promised advent waiting,
Soon shall hear His welcome voice. |
