He Who Places Faith in Jesus

He who places faith in Jesus 

Gains a hope which cannot fail. 

Weak and brokenhearted souls will 

Through God’s faithfulness prevail. 

Rise up to embrace His promise; 

He works only what is right. 

Joy returns unto the righteous; 

Into darkness, He brings light. 

 

Faithful love He keeps forever; 

Mercies new appear each day. 

By His Spirit, through His people, 

Grace will carry griefs away. 

Lift your heart to study Jesus, 

He has walked this way before. 

Painful loss came to the Savior, 

Yet He trusted God the more. 

 

We, the sheep, have Him as Shepherd! 

He will guide us day and night. 

Worry lurks at ev’ry turn but 

Perfect Love dismisses fright. 

Place His loving yoke upon you; 

Know His presence at your side. 

He will help you through the trouble; 

Ev’ry step, Himself provide.

K. Hartnett, May 2003

I wrote this poem to comfort several church families who- through various sibling and marriage relationships- all felt the loss of a particular loved one who passed away.
