The souls of the righteous are in the hands of god lyrics
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no
torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the
foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an
affliction and their going forth from us, utter destruction. But
they are in peace. For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality; chastised a little, they shall
be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them
worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and
as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. In the time of
their judgment they shall shine and dart about as sparks
through stubble; they shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever. Those who trust in
him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with
him in love: Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with the elect.
This is the end of the lyrics.
