In Jesus
by Annie Johnson Flint
In
the world, tribulation; but in Jesus -- peace; |
In
the world, tribulation; but in Jesus -- rest; A sure place of refuge for the sore-opprest, A guarded pavilion no device can take, A strong-walled fortress no assault can shake. |
In
the world tribulation; but in Jesus -- joy; A full cup of gladness that can never cloy, A sweet fountain rising out of Marrah's tide, A spring of rejoicing that is never dried. |
In
the world, tribulation; but in Jesus -- peace; A deep, quiet harbor where the high waves cease, A long-desired haven on a friendly shore, Where the wild winds of oceans sweep the soul no more. |
In
the world, tribulation, trials all around, For on earth no resting and no joys are found; Let us flee to Jesus where all sorrows cease; Here alone is gladness, here alone is peace. |
John
16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In
the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world. |
