Through God’s word, my hope at His returning

1
Through God’s word, my hope at His returning
Is that all my being be redeemed;
Yet in times of grief and tribulation,
Doubt and fear arise, no hope is seen.
In those hours, when prayer cannot be uttered,
Only groaning from my breast is heard.
Then the Spirit, in like manner, helps me,
Praying in my weakness unto God.
2
Lord, my prayer is not for deeper suffering,
But that from each trial I’d be free.
Let the cup of bitterness be taken;
Yet, Thy will, not mine, dear Lord, must be.
Even now, though trials sore surround me,
Still within my heart there is a peace,
For the love of God outpoured within me
Floods my heart and bids my doubting cease.
3
Blest assurance! God has fully ordered
Every matter by His sovereign hand;
Every person (though we see so dimly),
Every thing’s according to His plan.
Every trial is but the Father’s answer
To the groaning of the Spirit’s prayer;
May He gain in every tribulation,
Until we Christ’s glory fully share.
4
How could God from all His dealings spare us,
After He spared not His only Son?
Could the Potter’s hand upon the vessel
Ever leave the shaping work undone?
For the center of God’s heart’s desire
Is that many brethren we will be
Unto Christ, His precious First-begotten,
And to Him, conformed we’ll fully be.
5
Heirs of God! Joint-heirs with our Lord Jesus!
What a hope of glory this for us!
Though the suff’rings presently seem grievous,
Greater far the glory then for us!
Yea, in all these things we more than conquer,
Through the One whose love has us possessed;
Soon the day for which waits all creation,
When the sons of God are manifest!

Blest assurance! God has fully ordered!

Every trial is but the Father’s answer to the groaning of the Spirit’s prayer. In those hours, when prayer cannot be uttered,

Only groaning from my breast is heard.

Then the Spirit, in like manner, helps me,

Praying in my weakness unto God.

Amen.

Blest assurance! God has fully ordered

Every matter by His sovereign hand;

Every person (though we see so dimly),

Every thing’s according to His plan.

Every trial is but the Father’s answer

To the groaning of the Spirit’s prayer;

May He gain in every tribulation,

Until we Christ’s glory fully share.

"Adapted," I wonder: by whom? from whom?

This feels so much to me to be from Watchman Nee.

"Every trial is but the Father’s answer

To the groaning of the Spirit’s prayer;

May He gain in every tribulation,

Until we Christ’s glory fully share."

Amen.

“Indeed, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? ”

Jesus bore the full weight of the wrath of God. There is no wrath left for us to receive. Wrath is not our portion. Our portion is mercy. The price was paid in full. The sacrifice is finished. Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

Lord, my prayer is not for deeper suffering,

But that from each trial I’d be free.

Let the cup of bitterness be taken;

Yet, Thy will, not mine, dear Lord, must be.

Even now, though trials sore surround me,

Still within my heart there is a peace,

For the love of God outpoured within me

Floods my heart and bids my doubting cease.

Oh Lord Jesus.

Lord my prayer is that may I gain You as I passed through all these trials and tribulations. Even though the sufferings seemed so grievous, that my heart would be restful because of the everlasting love You outpoured upon me... I love You Lord Jesus..Amen.
