HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
3 His grace shall to the end,
Stronger and brighter shine,.
Nor present things, nor things to come
Shall quench the spark divine.
4 Wait till the shadows flee,
Wait the appointed hour;
Wait till the Bridegroom of thy soul,
Reveals his love with power.
5 The time of love will come,
When we shall clearly see,
Not only that he shed his blood,
But each shall say ‘for me’.’

Hope in the covenant.
1 LT OW oft have sin and Satan strove
* 1 To rend my soul from thee, my God 1
But everlasting is thy love,
And Jesus seals it with his blood.
2 The oath and promise of the Lord,
Join to confirm the wondrous grace:
Eternal power performs the word,
And fills all heaven with endless praise.
3 Amidst temptations, sharp and long,
My soul to this dear refuge flies;
Hope is my anchor, firm and strong,
While tempests blow, and billows rise.
4 The gospel bears my spirit up;
A faithful and unchanging God
Lays the foundation for my hope,
In oaths, and promises, and blood.
