Trust in Christ’s Redeeming Love
Share ThisI wandered through this vale of tears
And saw men crouching in their fears.
Mid crumbling hopes they were dismayed,
Bewildered, wondering and afraid.
‘Twas then I rose and gazed afar
Beyond the clouds and farthest star.
To One whose ways are great and grand:
A thousand works o’er sea and land.
The flowers that blossom in the light
to captivate the sense of sight;
The birds that sing their glad refrain
As though to stir our trust again.
And then there loomed a little Child,
Becoming, gentle, meek and mild;
A trustful smile, a golden ray,
to turn our darkness into day!
Beholding faith with all its charm,
Why need to harbor thoughts of harm?
Much rather enter gates of praise
And seek life’s long unending days.
And then there came momentous news,
Revealing grand enchanting views –
Peace from on high, good will to men;
Edenic joys to bloom again.
Then war shall cease, disease and crime,
which do not savor endless time;
For Jesus died that He might bring
His peace and joy to everything!
A thousand years to pave the way
For this eternal gladsome day;
A thousand years to raise the dead
And offer them the Living Bread.
Then all the grateful will arise
to find an end to all their sighs.
Then they will say with voice and pen,
“God’s love surpasses minds of men!”
With such good news, why be dismayed,
Bewildered, troubled and afraid?
With heart and soul let’s look above
And trust in Christ’s Redeeming love!
