Comforting Considerations

Tune: St Helen

(\'God of grace and God of glory\')

2 Corinthians 1 v.3-7

********

Blesséd be God, He the Father

Blessings on us does confer

He the Father of our Lord sure

Christ who lives for evermore

He the Father of all mercies

And of all comfort, He sees

 

Sees  our tribulations and He

Comforts us in them that we

May be able with that comfort

To comfort others, same sort

Of comfort that we have received

Consoling them in their need

 

For it is the same comfort sure

Strength and solace, whole and pure

That we have ourselves received, known

From God, now to others shown

Sharing in the sufferings here

Help each others load to bear

 

If in times of trial, affliction

Bright shall dawn our comfort\'s sun

Or if comforted, and easy

Load to bear it sometimes be

Whate\'er be our situation

Comfort abounds for each one

 

So partaking all in highs, lows

Through all each God\'s grace He shows

Trusting Him, who shall not us fail

His love to us will prevail

Help us Lord, whate\'er our state be

Your strong comfort, mercies see
