God of all consolation

God of all consolation

God of all consolation, bind up their wounds.

Keep them from a murmuring spirit, under dark dispensations.

Let them know and believe—that infinite love is in all Your arrangements—that finite wisdom has no place in Your chastisements—that He with whom they have to do, cannot do wrong. Lord, give us all this lowly spirit of submission to Your will.

Whether You chasten us, or gladden us; whether prosperity or adversity be our portion--oh bring us nearer Yourself!

May Your dealings serve to trim the lamp of faith and keep it brightly burning.
