For a Christian the secret of peace within and power without is to be always and only occupied with Christ.
“If I Go... I Will Come Again”
“Let not your heart be troubled;”
What words of love and grace!
Words spoken by the Saviour,
Within a quiet place,
When He and His disciples
Were in that upper room
‘Twas just before He entered
The depths of Calvary’s gloom.
“Let not your heart be troubled;”
My Father’s house above
Has many blissful mansions—
Abodes of joy and love.
“Let not your heart be troubled;”
For I am going there;
A place in fadeless glory,
For you I shall prepare.
“Let not your heart be troubled;”
For though I go away,
I’ll come again and take you
To realms of endless day.
Now though our Lord is absent,
We hear those words of love,
“Let not your heart be troubled;”
Still ringing from above.
And though the night seems dreary,
And long may seem His stay—
“Let not your heart be troubled,”
He’ll come without delay.
“Let not your heart be troubled,”
Are words of comfort sweet,
That cheer the heart in sorrow,
Until above we meet.
