The Savior died, but rose again
Triumphant from the grave;
And pleads our cause at God's right hand,
Omnipotent to save.
Who,then, can e'er divide us more
From Jesus and His love:
Or break the sacred chain that binds
The earth to Heav'n above?
Let troubles rise, and terrors frown.
And days of darkness fall;
Through Him all dangers we'll defy.
And more than conquer all.
Nor death,nor life, nor earth nor hell,
Nor time's destroying sway,
Can e'er efface us from His heart,
Or make His love decay.
~Scotish Paraphrase
I found this when I was wandering around the net, folowing unfamiliar links, and I'm glad I did! It is a paraphrase of the last part of Romans 8, a favorite of mine:)
Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds; For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herds of the mountains are gathered in, The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field; You shall have enough goat's milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants. Prov. 27:23-27
