Renewed Hope
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Bless the Father of our Lord,
For abundant mercy and grace;
A renewed hope as to afford,
Of a living hope to embrace.
Born again to a living hope,
A resurrection after death;
And tolerance helps us to cope,
In living to our last breath.
An inheritance unfading,
And that is imperishable;
Undefiled by pervading,
In Heaven as treasurable.
By His power being guarded,
Through your faith for salvation;
And you are being rewarded,
In being a new creation.
For a while, you will rejoice,
But have grieved about the trials;
Throughout the years it was your choice,
Each temptation that defiles.
Because your faith has been tested,
Like precious gold tested by fire;
Glory and honor invested,
When you resisted by desire.
You love Him through you have not seen,
And you rejoice since you believe;
He is present where you have been,
Being full of glory you receive.
Of your faith received in the end,
Even the salvation of your soul;
Because God is also your friend,
Being in Heaven is your goal.
