John 16:33 (Listen)
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
(ESV)
Hymn: WS 726 :
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
1. Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness!
God has brought His Israel
In to joy from sadness.
See the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst His prison
And from three days’ sleep in death
As a sun has risen
2. All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From His light, to Whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
Neither could the gates of death
Nor the tomb’s dark portal
Nor the watchers nor the seal
Hold Him as a mortal.
3. But today among His own
Christ appeared, bestowing
Bless’ed peace,which evermore
Passes human knowing.
Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness!
God has brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness.
