God Is Still on the Throne / Scriptures of Strength, Hope and Comfort

by Mrs. W. F. Suffield

Have you started for glory and heaven,

Have you left this old world far behind;

In your heart is the Comforter dwelling,

Can you say, “Praise the Lord, He is mine;”

Have the ones that once walked on the highway

Gone back and you seem all alone?

Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies,

God is still on the throne.

Burdened soul, is your heart growing weary

With the toil and the heat of the day;

Does it seem that your path is more thorny,

As you journey along life’s way?

Go away and in secret before Him

Tell your grief to the Savior alone;

He will lighten your care, for He still answers prayer,

God is still on the throne.

God is still on the throne,

And He remembers His own;

Though trials may press us and burdens distress us,

He never will leave us alone;

God is still on His throne,

He never forsaketh His own;

His promise is true, He will not forsake you,

God is still on the throne.

A Christian is not worth much until he has been through some hot water!
