THE HOPE SET BEFORE YOU

[anna274]

Heb 6:18-19
...Lay hold upon the hope set before us, which ...we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.


THE HOPE SET BEFORE YOU  Crosby, 1910

Lay hold on the hope set before you,
And let not a moment be lost,
The Savior has purchased your ransom,
But think what a price it hath cost!

Refrain
Lay hold on eternal salvation,
Lay hold on the gift of God's only Son;
Lay hold on His infinite mercy,
Lay hold on the Mighty One!


Lay hold on the hope set before you,
Of joy that no mortal can speak;
It telleth of rest for the weary,
Through Jesus, the lowly and meek.


Lay hold on the hope set before you,
A hope that is steadfast and sure;
O haste to the Blessed Redeemer,
The loving, the perfect and pure.

  Faith , hope and love , LOVE[CHARITY ] BEING THE GREATEST 1Cr 13:1 ¶ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 


1Cr 13:2   And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 


1Cr 13:3   And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 


1Cr 13:4   Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 


1Cr 13:5   Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 


1Cr 13:6   Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 


1Cr 13:7   Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 


1Cr 13:8   Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 


1Cr 13:9   For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 


1Cr 13:10   But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 


1Cr 13:11   When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 


1Cr 13:12   For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 


1Cr 13:13   And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
