| Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (1 Cor. 10:12) |

| What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:7‑9) |
| For this, oh may we freely count Whate’er we have but loss; The dearest object of our love, Compared with Thee, but dross. |

Wherefore He saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 13:33‑35) |
| Saviour, though the world despised Thee, Though Thou here wast crucified, Yet the Father’s glory raised Thee, Lord of all creation wide. |

| I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 12:10‑11) |
| What though the accuser roar Of ills that I have done! I know them well, and thousands more: Jehovah findeth none. |
| There, in His book, I bear More than a conqueror’s name, Of soldier, son and fellow-heir, Who fought and overcame. |
|
| The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

| They said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread. (Luke 24:32‑35) |
| Then teach Thy gathered saints, O Lord, To worship in Thy fear; And let Thy grace mold every word That meets Thy holy ear. |

|
