Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; or His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
Isaiah 59:1
Above the clouds in calm, majestic splendour,Our Lord is now enthroned, the Son of God,Who once came down in love so pure and tender,To suffer for our sins, and shed His blood. In trusting Him all doubt and fear and worryAre swept away, for He is on the throne:Confusion, panic, senseless rush and hurryAre quieted in seeing Him alone. The world goes mad, but He remains the Master,And soon will come to take His rightful power:To those unsaved, what solemn, dread disaster!But to the saved, a welcome, glorious hour! Have faith in God, the living God, the Saviour,Who rules in wondrous wisdom, truth and love;Who soon will come to take His own foreverTo be with Him in purest joy above.
L. M. Grant (1917–2011)
