Faith a Source of Joy
Scripture
KJV
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
ESV
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory.
1 Peter 1:8
Poem
A bleeding Saviour, seen by faith,
A sense of pardoning love,
A hope that triumphs over death,
Gives joys like those above.
