2 Corinthians 1:7

• [2Co 1:7] As Above The Darkest Storm Cloud

  As above the darkest storm cloud Shines the sun, serenely bright Waiting to restore to nature All the glory of his light, So, behind each cloud of sorrow, So, in each affliction, stands, Hid, an angel, with a blessing From the Father in his hand. As without the tempest, pouring O’er the earth the welcome rain, All were but a fruitless desert, Barren sand for ripen’ng grain, So if ne’er a cloud of sadness Veiled the sunshine of the soul, If affliction’s waves were never Suffered o’er the heart to roll. Love and faith might fail forever To bring forth their fruits of peace; Heaven’s good seed of truth would perish In a thorny wilderness. So, with cloud and storm and tempest Grows our earthly summer dim, That the rebel heart, our Father Thus may win to turn to Him.

2 Corinthians 1:20

• [2Co 1:20] Hymn Of Promise

  In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity, In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

2 Corinthians 2:15

• [2Co 2:15] Still Sweeter Every Day

  To Jesus every day I find my heart is closer drawn, He’s fairer than the glory of the gold and purple dawn; He’s all my fancy pictures in its fairest dreams, and more, Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. Refrain The half cannot be fancied This side the golden shore; O there He’ll be still sweeter Than He ever was before. His glory broke upon me when I saw Him from afar, He’s fairer than the lily, brighter than the morning star; He fills and satisfies my longing spirit o’er and o’er, Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. Refrain My heart is sometimes heavy, but He comes with sweet relief, He folds me to His bosom when I droop with blighting grief; I love the Christ Who all my burdens in His body bore, Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.

2 Corinthians 4:7

• [2Co 4:7] How Rich Thy Bounty, King Of Kings!

  How rich Thy bounty, King of kings! Thy favors, how divine! The blessings which Thy Gospel brings, How splendidly they shine! Gold is but dross, and gems but toys, Should gold and gems compare; How mean, when sent against those joys Thy poorest servants share! Yet all these treasures of Thy grace Are lodged in urns of clay; And the weak sons of mortal race The immortal gifts convey. Feebly they lisp Thy glories forth, Yet grace the victory gives; Quickly they molder back to earth, Yet still Thy Gospel lives. Such wonders power divine effects; Such trophies God can raise; His hand, from crumbling dust, erects His monuments of praise.

2 Corinthians 5:8

• [2Co 5:8] We’re Going Home Tomorrow

  We’re going home, no more to roam, No more to sin and sorrow; No more to wear the brow of care, We’re going home tomorrow. Refrain We’re going home, we’re going home tomorrow, We’re going home, we’re going home tomorrow. For weary feet awaits a street Of wondrous pave and golden; For hearts that ache, the angels wake The story, sweet and olden. Refrain For those who sleep, and those who weep, Above the portals narrow, The mansions rise beyond the skies— We’re going home tomorrow. Refrain Oh, joyful song! Oh, ransomed throng! Where sin no more shall sever; Our King to see, and, oh, to be With Him at home forever! Refrain

2 Corinthians 5:14

• [2Co 5:14] In The Lord’s Atoning Grief

  In the Lord’s atoning grief Be our rest and sweet relief; Store we deep in heart’s recess All the shame and bitterness. Thorns, and cross, and nails, and lance, Wounds, our treasure that enhance, Vinegar, and gall, and reed, And the pang His soul that freed. May these all our spirits sate, And with love inebriate; In our souls plant virtue’s root, And mature its glorious fruit. Crucified! we Thee adore, Thee with all our hearts implore; Us with saintly hands unite In the realms of heavenly light. Christ, by coward hands betrayed, Christ, for us a Captive made, Christ, upon the bitter tree Slain for man, be praise to Thee.

2 Corinthians 5:21

• [2Co 5:21] O Mystery Of Love Divine

  O mystery of love divine That thought and thanks o’erpowers! Lord Jesus, was our portion Thine, And is Thy portion ours? Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place To set us in Thine own? Didst Thou our low estate embrace To lift us to Thy throne? Didst Thou fulfill each righteous deed, God’s perfect will express, That we th’unfaithful ones might plead Thy perfect faithfulness? For Thee the Father’s hidden face? For Thee the bitter cry? For us the Father’s endless grace, The song of victory? Our load of sin and misery Didst Thou, the Sinless, bear? Thy spotless robe of purity Do we the sinners wear? Lord Jesus, is it even so? Have bee been lovèd thus? What love can we on Thee bestow Who hast exchanged with us? Thou, who our very place didst take, Dwell in our very heart: Thou, who Thy portion ours dost make, Thyself, Thyself impart.

2 Corinthians 6:3-4

• [2Co 6:4] Through Good Report And Evil, Lord

  Through good report and evil, Lord, Still guided by Thy faithful Word, Our staff, our buckler and our sword, We follow Thee. In silence of the lonely night, In the full glow of day’s clear light, Through life’s strange windings, dark or bright, We follow Thee. Strengthened by Thee we forward go, ’Mid smile or scoff of friend or foe, Through pain or ease, through joy or woe, We follow Thee. With enemies on every side, We lean on Thee, the Crucified; Forsaking all on earth beside, We follow Thee. O Master, point Thou out the way, Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray; Then in the path that leads to day We follow Thee. Thou hast passed on before our face; Thy footsteps on the way we trace; O keep us, aid us by Thy grace; We follow Thee. Whom have we in the heaven above, Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love? Still in Thy light we onward move; We follow Thee.

2 Corinthians 8:18

• [2Co 8:18] What Thanks And Praise To Thee We Owe

  What thanks and praise to Thee we owe, O Priest and Sacrifice divine, For Thy dear saint through whom we know So many a gracious word of Thine; Whom Thou didst choose to tell the tale Of all Thy manhood’s toils and tears, And for a moment lift the veil That hides Thy boyhood’s spotless years. How many a soul with guilt oppressed Has learned to hear the joyful sound In that sweet tale of sin confessed The Father’s love, the lost and found? How many a child of sin and shame Has refuge found from guilty fears Through her, who to the Savior came With costly ointments and with tears! What countless worshippers have sung, In lowly fane or lofty choir, The song that loosed the silent tongue Of him who was the Baptist’s sire! And still the Church through all her days Uplifts the strains that never cease, The blessèd virgin’s hymn of praise, The agèd Simeon’s words of peace. O happy saint! whose sacred page, So rich in words of truth and love, Pours on the Church from age to age This healing unction from above; The witness of the Savior’s life, The great Apostle’s chosen friend Through weary years of toil and strife And still found faithful to the end. So grant us, Lord, like him to live, Beloved by man, approved by Thee, Till Thou at last the summons give, And we, with him, Thy face shall see.

2 Corinthians 10:16

• [2Co 10:16] Move Forward

  Let the whole wide world be taken, In the name of Christ our King; Let the powers of sin be shaken, And our shouts of victory ring; Jesus calls, why should we tarry? Let our loyal hearts respond, And the fight of faith we’ll carry To the regions still beyond. Refrain Move forward into battle! Let this our watchword be; With Christ, our mighty Captain, We’ll gain the victory; He leads us to the battle, The King Whom we adore; We’ll fight till He shall conquer all, And reign from shore to shore. Onward with the Gospel story, Let the Word of Life prevail Over evils grim and hoary; Never shall our Leader fail; He it is Who goes before us, ’Tis His banner floats on high; Lift again the joyful chorus, Hail the triumph drawing nigh. Refrain Take the armor of salvation, Battling on the fields afar; Giant ills, in every nation, Fall before the Morning Star; “Go ye,” hear the Master saying, With His ever conquering sword; Help us, Lord, Thy Word obeying, Faith shall gain a rich reward.

• [2Co 10:16] The Regions Beyond

  To the regions beyond I must go, I must go Where the story has never been told; To the millions that never have heard of His love, I must tell the sweet story of old. Refrain To the regions beyond I must go, I must go, Till the world, all the world, His salvation shall know. To the hardest of places He calls me to go, Never thinking of comfort or ease; The world may pronounce me a dreamer, a fool, Enough if the Master I please. Refrain Oh, you that are spending your leisure and powers In those pleasures so foolish and fond; Awake from your selfishness, folly and sin, And go to the regions beyond. Refrain There are other “lost sheep” that the Master must bring, And to them must the message be told; He sends me to gather them out of all lands, And welcome them back to His fold. Refrain
