Heb.11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Though sorrow still abounds, God gives us reason to rejoice
Though tragedy confounds and explanation has no voice
Rejoice! And let love’s gladness spill into a hymn of praise
Faith’s Author and perfecter will not fail us, all our days
Though darkened and hardened hearts grope and misled hordes pursue
Rejoice! for Jesus, mankind’s Hope is trustworthy and true
The love that drew salvation’s plan conquered death’s darkest hour
The Name that rescues souls of man will never lose its pow’r
Though death appears the victor of the spoils of life, rejoice!
The grave is not the picture that gives courage to faith’s voice
But the good tidings of great joy, of peace on earth, goodwill
Because Bethlehem’s Baby Boy is mankind’s Savior still
So then rejoice! And glorify the Name above all names
Jesus came to save you and I from death and hell’s dread claims
Come and kneel at the manger where the King of kings was laid
Rejoice! He is no stranger for by Him we all were made
Rejoice! This is no Season-song but wonder’s lifelong hymn
The Gift that keeps faith’s courage strong, the Light no night can dim
No circumstantial evidence can thwart the power of
Jesus, who seals the recompense of faith and hope and love
