He is not a disappointment!

He is not a disappointment!
Jesus is far more to me
Than in all my glowing daydreams
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.

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 blessed kiss of peace.
He assures my heart forever
That His love will never cease.

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.

He is not a disappointment!
He is all in all to me—
Saviour, Sanctifier, Keeper,
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.
