Matthew 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Hymnal 96
- Rise, my soul! behold ’tis Jesus,
Jesus fills Thy wond’ring eyes;
See Him now in glory seated,
Where thy sins no more can rise. - There, in righteousness transcendent,
Lo! He doth in heaven appear,
Shows the blood of His atonement
As thy title to be there. - All thy sins were laid upon Him,
Jesus bore them on the tree;
God who knew them, laid them on Him,
And, believing, thou art free. - God now brings thee to His dwelling,
Spreads for thee His feast divine,
Bids thee welcome, ever telling
What a portion there is thine. - In that circle of God’s favour,
Circle of the Father’s love,
All is rest, and rest for ever,
All is perfectness above. - Blessed, glorious word “forever!”
Yea, “forever!” is the word;
Nothing can the ransomed sever,
Nought divide them from the Lord.
