[The consolation from above]

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I, &c. —xxvii. 25.

The consolation from above,
Which first himself receives,
Trusting in his Redeemer's love,
To troubled souls he gives:
A Christian among Heathens found,
With God's protection bless'd,
Will comfort by his faith's rebound,
And strengthen all the rest.
The Lord hath spoke, the faithful Lord
His sacred word hath pass'd,
And shall He not fulfil His word,
And save their lives at last?
Jesus in whom a saint confides,
His promise must perform:
And still He on the whirlwind rides,
And still directs the storm!
