Consider the work of the Spirit
That brings righteousness to us;
He frees us to contemplate
The surpassing glory of Jesus
God's light shines in the darkness
That veils our minds and hearts
So that we can see and know
The glory that Christ imparts
Be encouraged; do not despair
In your mortal 'jar of clay'
For we're not crushed nor abandoned
As we live to serve in Jesus' name
Be thankful and don't lose heart
Though our bodies waste away
For our eternal spirits
Are being renewed day by day
Our trials and persecutions
Are light and momentary
So focus on our treasured hope
For what is seen is temporary
Live a life of faith
That pleases our risen Lord
For, from Him, we'll receive
Our just and due reward
