Consider Those Who Plan For Good

Consider him who plans for good to do:
Who seeks the welfare of his fellow souls,
His promised word then keeps the end in view.

See spring from this in blessed, bounteous whole
Both Love and Faithfulness enjoined as one—
The deeds of Grace adorn and will control

The life of him who follows good begun!
Our Lord Above planned deeds of good with Grace,
And from His work, bright shining as the sun,

See Love and Faithfulness in Heav'n embrace
Where righteousness springs forth from rubied earth;
And God Himself looks on with smiling face.

There, there do righteousness and peace find worth
And sinners grace to revel in new birth!

- D. Benning
