“Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” Col. 3:1. All His sufferings are now past; in calm unclouded peace He sits at God’s right hand. We are apt to mistake peace of circumstances for the peace of God, but whatever changes here, there is no change in Jesus; and our place is with Him, “risen with Christ.”
Ο let thy faith repose
In Jesu’s love divine;
The heart that all our sorrows knows,
Is feeling now for thine.
Tell to His listening ear
The anxious thoughts that rise;
He’s moved by every falling tear—
He echoes all thy sighs.
Purer than aught below
The heart that bled for thee;
Not like the mingled love we show,
His perfect sympathy.
Well may’st thou then confide
Each interest to His care,
Since He has power and skill to guide
His loved ones everywhere.
If slow to understand,
When clouds thy pathway dim,
The way is still in Jesu’s hand,
The end is safe with Him.
See where He sits on high
In calm unclouded peace;
Dwell there beneath His gracious eye
And every fear shall cease.
So holy is His love—
So wise are all His ways—
That did we always dwell above,
Our hearts would only praise.
