Array ( [sid] => 114572 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THE GIFT OF GOD [time] => 2006-02-09 20:59:30 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Lord God almighty, rescue your children.
Give them the grace to trust Christ alone.
Bring from the dung heap, base things and foolish.
Make saints for glory, thou Jesus the Son.

Do what they can't do, purchase the pardon.
Thou goodly daysman, make them thine own.
Soon they shall see you, triumphant savior:
Beloved of the Father, in an eternal dawn.

Then trials and troubles will be forgotten.
The triune love will forever be shown.
They all shall praise you, for you are worthy;
In that great day of arrival at home.

They will rejoice, and forever be happy:
Then they shall know you, as they are known.
Sins of this life no longer in memory,
The righteous enshroud your royal throne.

Heb. 7:25 "He is able to save them, to the
uttermost that come to God by Him."

THE GIFT OF GOD

Lord God almighty, rescue your children.
Give them the grace to trust Christ alone.
Bring from the dung heap, base things and foolish.
Make saints for glory, thou Jesus the Son.

Do what they can't do, purchase the pardon.
Thou goodly daysman, make them thine own.
Soon they shall see you, triumphant savior:
Beloved of the Father, in an eternal dawn.

Then trials and troubles will be forgotten.
The triune love will forever be shown.
They all shall praise you, for you are worthy;
In that great day of arrival at home.

They will rejoice, and forever be happy:
Then they shall know you, as they are known.
Sins of this life no longer in memory,
The righteous enshroud your royal throne.

Heb. 7:25 "He is able to save them, to the
uttermost that come to God by Him."

A precious gem !

IO treasure the line:

"Then they shall know you, as they are known."
What a comfort for pilgrim children in this valley of tears!.

Blessings in abundance
