Gold breaks the brooding mold
No dark can bar the Light!
No threat of man can overthrow
God's mercy or His might
Dark dread mingles with undying hope these days, doesn't it!
Remind us, oh, Lord
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Arise, arise, arise
Seize hold of Mercy's prize
Nothing can sway
Hope's anchored Stay
Though oft the tempest tries
Again, again, again
Ever since time began
The wellspring of
Eternal love
Renews mercy to man
From day to day to day
It does not fade away
But with each morn
It is reborn
To comfort mortal clay
Beware, beware, beware
Of doubt and pride's despair
Lest the good fruit
That would take root
Is smothered by its tare
Then pray and pray and pray
Love’s perfect law obey
Lest we forget
The promised Yet
That draws nearer each day
Amen, amen, amen
No mortal scheme can ban
The wellspring of
Eternal love
That flows from God to man
Then cheer and cheer and cheer
Stand guard with holy fear
As prophecy
Fulfills 'hear ye'
Redemption draweth near
Then shout and shout and shout
Something to sing about
Mercy renewed
Let gratitude
Extinguish seeds of doubt
