The Comforted People
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
To whom will you compare,
That I should be like Him;
Any that one would share,
Vital spiritual vim.
Lift up your eyes on high,
See who created these;
Who rescues from the cry,
Causes swaying of trees.
He will call you by name,
The greatness of His might;
The faithful who proclaim,
Solace in His insight.
My way hidden from God,
Since I disregarded;
His judgment made me flawed,
Not being rewarded.
Have you not known or heard,
The Lord is eternal;
Creator and the Word,
Lights to the nocturnal.
He will not grow weary,
But is unsearchable;
He understands the dreary,
Through prayer is reachable.
He increases your strength,
With power to the faint;
Persisting any length,
Without any restraint.
Even youth are weary,
As young people shall fall;
Wipes your eye when teary,
From your prayers when you call.
Those who wait for the Lord,
Their strength will be renewed;
Eagle wings they afford,
With a good attitude.
