Hitherto


 Hitherto 

By George Thurlow

Hitherto, Christ has been been so faithful;

I have not weathered the storms alone.

Never once was I abandoned

To go it on my own.

Stalwart, strong and steady

With His hand in mine…

He enabled me to stay the course

Each and every time.


The new year- it won’t differ.

Past records bear the proof,

Though the unknown lies before me,

I am yoked up to the Truth.

Though shadowy be the road ahead

And uncertain every step, 

I am confident that the way He leads

Is His purpose, will, intent.


At the threshold of this brand new year

In the Vine I will remain.

Hitherto my Lord's been faithful

Here on out, will be the same.


1 Samuel 7:12 - “ Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.”
