Therefore I Hope In Him - Lamentations 3: 22-24

Being not consumed we stand true
only by God's merciful grace
this is the God of eternity supreme
we receive compassion from His face

Compassion is the watchword from God
for the Lord provides never to fail
in His promises always surely certain
trust His sovereign hand even from gales

Always new never turns old
waken up every morning bright
great is the faithfulness of God
like no other shines daily alight

My soul speaks so profoundly
therefore trust with one hope
the Lord is my portion is my call
holding fast to the divine rope

Lamentations three verses 22-24
set to memory in your mind
whenever down bring to recall
for the Lord has heavenly signed

(Lamentations 3: 22-24.  
"Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
