517. Not a Disappointment!

1 He is not a disappointment! Jesus is far more to me
Than in all my glowing day-dreams I had fancied He could be;
And, the more I get to know Him, so the more I find Him true,
And the more I long that others should be led to know Him too,
And the more I long that others should be led to know Him too.

2 He is not a disappointment! He has saved my soul from sin:
All the guilt, and all the anguish, which oppressed my heart within,
He has banished by His presence, and His blessèd kiss of peace
Has assured my heart for ever that His love will never cease.

3 He is not a disappointment! He is coming by-and-by,
In my heart I have the witness that His coming draweth nigh.
All the scoffers may despise me, and no change around may see,
But He tells me He is coming, and that’s quite enough for me.

4 He is not a disappointment! He is all in all to me—
Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer; the unchanging Christ is He!
He has won my heart’s affections, and He meets my every need;
He is not a disappointment, for He satisfies indeed.
