And hope does not disappoint us

1 Peter 5:6-7
"Humble yourselves under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."


Jesus I long for thee, and sight for Canaan's shore.
Thy lovely face to see, an all my warfare o'er;
here billows break upon my breast and brooding sorrows steal my rest.

I pant, I groan, I grieve for my untoward heart;
How full of doubts I live, though full of grace thou art!
What poor returns I make to thee for all the mercy shown to me!

And must I ever smart, a child of sorrows here?
Yet, Lord be near my heart, to soothe each rising tear,
then at thy bleeding cross I'll stay, and sweetly weep my life away.
