The Recompense

Faithful ones will be satisfied bye and bye.

There will be a setting right

 

By the One who sees it all

 

Yes, the hungry ones at night

 

And the little birds that fall;

 

And the ones who feel the sword

 

Asking, just how long Oh Lord?

 

They will see the Recompense

 

The setting right.

 

 

 

It may be at any time

 

For the cup comes to the brim

 

With the bitter draught of crime

 

With the coarse neglect of Him

 

Who has shown us how to care.

 

Let all mockers now beware!

 

They will rue the Recompense

 

The setting right.

 

 

 

But if justice stays its hand

 

Tempting hurting ones to doubt

 

And still darkness seals the land

 

That the very stones cry out.

 

Reckon that the sad delay

 

Lures more hearts the Gospel way.

 

And this too is Recompense

 

In glorious light.
