Strong-Hold

Verse 1

Ye prisoners of hope O'erwhelmed with grief, To Jesus look up For certain relieve; There's not condemnation In Jesus the Lord, But strong consolation His grace doth afford.

Verse 2

Should justice appear A merciless foe, Yet be of good cheer, And soon shall you know That sinners confessing Their wickedness past, A plentiful blessing Of pardon shall taste.

Verse 3

The dry up your tears, Ye children of grief, For Jesus appears To give you relief; If you are returning To Jesus your friend, Your sighing and morning In singing shall end.

Verse 4

"None will I cast out "Who come," saith the Lord, Why then do you doubt? Lay hold of his word: Ye mourners of Sion, Be bold to believe, For ever rely on Your Savior and live.
