"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are COMFORTED OF GOD" (2 Corinthians 1:3-43Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Corinthians 1:3‑4)).
"I will not leave you comfortless,
For I will come to you;"
The Lord of Glory speaks these words—
His promises are true.
He sorrows with His suffering child,
He weeps with those that weep;
He comforts and sustaineth them,
Their footsteps He doth keep.
"He doth not willingly afflict,"
Nor grieve one precious soul;
His hand of love is over all,
When sorrow's billows roll.
With countless mercies day by day,
Compassions ever new,
His own are comforted and kept,
Their strength He doth renew.
"1 will not leave you comfortless,"
Oh! What a precious Word!
The God of Comfort dries our tears,
His promises we've heard.
He comforteth all those that mourn,
He heals the broken heart;
He bindeth up their griefs and wounds,
His strength He doth impart.
Oh Blessed Lord, we need Thy strength,
Thy grace for every day;
We need Thy strong sustaining arm,
To keep us all the way.
We thank Thee for Thy presence,
For Thy promises so true,
"I will not leave you comfortless,
For I will come to you."
