Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:5‑6)
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matt. 28:20)
Oh may we, then, Lord, ever,
   While in this vale of tears,
Look up to Thee and never
   Give way to anxious fears;
For Thou wilt not forsake us
   Though we are oft to blame;
Oh let Thy love then make us
   True to Thy faith and name!

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. (Titus 3:1‑2)
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (1 Peter 2:12)
Men read and admire the gospel of Christ,
With its love so unfailing and true;
But what do they say and what do they think
Of the gospel according to you?

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. (Acts 4:10)
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21)
Come, weary, anxious, laden soul,
To Jesus come, and be made whole;
On Him your heavy burden roll —
Come, anxious sinner, come!
God loves to hear the contrite cry;
He loves to see the tearful eye,
To read the Spirit’s deep-felt sigh —
Come, anxious sinner, come!

This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. (Titus 3:8)
Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and worthy of all acceptation. (1 Tim. 4:8‑9)
It is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him. (2 Tim. 2:11)
These SAYINGS are FAITHFUL and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly. (Rev. 22:6‑7)

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Phil. 4:11)
Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment, let us be therewith content. (1 Tim. 6:6‑8)
God knoweth the need of my life
For shelter and raiment and food;
In each trifling care of the day
The word of His promise is good;
He knoweth my thought from afar,
The wish that I never have told,
And every unspoken desire
His wisdom does grant or withhold.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. (1 Tim. 2:1)
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Gal. 6:2)
Thou who makest intercession,
   Give to us to share
In that holy intercession;
   Deepen prayer.
Keep Thine own alert, courageous;
   Strengthen them to stand
Till Thou comest or we meet them
   In Thy land.

He hath made Him to be sin for us, who KNEW NO SIN. (2 Cor. 5:21)
Who DID NO SIN, neither was guile found in His mouth. (1 Peter 2:22)
Ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and IN HIM IS NO SIN. (1 John 3:5)
The holy One who knew no sin,
God made Him sin for us;
The Saviour died our souls to win,
Upon the shameful cross;
His precious blood alone availed
To wash our sins away;
Through weakness He o’er hell prevailed;
Through death He won the day.

He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. (Psa. 18:11)
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder. (Psa. 81:7)
In heavenly love abiding,
   No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
   For nothing changes here;
The storm may roar without me;
   My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
   And can I be dismayed?

It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. (Luke 1:3‑4)
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. (2 Tim. 1:14)
Lord, may I ne’er be satisfied
   With this world’s second best,
When Thou hast blessings multiplied
   For those who stand the test.
Let me not deem it sacrifice
   To miss the joys of earth
To gain from Thee a higher prize
   Of everlasting worth.

The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He hath set the world upon them. (1 Sam. 2:7‑8)
Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. (Psa. 107:41,43)
And did the Holy and the Just,
   The Sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to man’s estate and dust
   That guilty worms might rise?
Jesus, my soul adoring bends
   To love, so full, so free;
Thy Word declares that love extends,
   In saving power, to me.

He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:33)
The seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever. (Rev. 11:15)
Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee,
High on Thine exalted throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own:
      Come, Lord Jesus!
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)
We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1)
Our times are in Thy hand,
   Whatever they may be,
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
   As best may seem to Thee.
Our times are in Thy hand,
   Jesus the Advocate!
Nor can that hand be stretched in vain,
   For us to supplicate.

They that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. (Mal. 3:16)
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col. 3:16)
Lord, since we sing as pilgrims,
   Oh give us pilgrims’ ways!
Low thoughts of self, befitting
   Proclaimers of Thy praise;
Oh make us each more holy,
   In spirit, pure and meek:
More like to heavenly citizens,
   As more of heaven we speak.

She shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins. (Matt. 1:21)
Praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised. (Psa. 113:1‑3)
Worship and thanks and blessing
And strength ascribe to Jesus!
The Lord alone defends His own,
When earth or hell oppresses;
Omnipotent Redeemer!
Our ransomed souls adore Thee;
Our Saviour Thou, we own it now,
And give to Thee the glory.

Everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. I, even I, am He that comforteth you. (Isa. 51:11‑12)
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. (Isa. 66:13)
In this world of grief and sadness,
How we need a safe retreat,
Where our wounded hearts may enter
And find comfort blest and sweet!
How we need to hear the whisper
Of the Saviour, “Have no fear!”
And to rest in the assurance
That His loving arms are near.

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy. (Psa. 147:11)
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:7‑8)
In the desert still, yet by the river
Bearing heavenly fruit, a healing tree;
In the Spirit and in truth adoring
Him whom none but eyes anointed see —
Marvels of God’s secret place made known
Unto him who dwells with God alone.

I saw, and bare record that this is the SON OF GOD. (John 1:34)
She saith unto Him, Yea, Lord: I believe that Thou art the Christ, the SON OF GOD, which should come into the world. (John 11:27)
These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the SON OF GOD; and that believing ye might have life through His name. (John 20:31)
Love brings the glorious fullness in,
   And to the lost makes known
Salvation from the power of sin,
   Through faith in Christ alone.
E’en now by faith I claim Him mine,
   The risen Son of God;
Redemption by His death I find,
   And cleansing through the blood.

But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. (1 Peter 3:14‑15)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. (1 Peter 1:3)
In hope we lift our wishful, longing eyes,
Waiting to see the Morning Star arise;
How bright, how gladsome will His advent be,
Before the Sun shines forth in majesty.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. (Psa. 23:1‑2)
He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. And they did all eat, and were filled. (Mark 6:39,42)
The Lamb of God our Shepherd is,
   And He who does us feed;
While He is ours and we are His,
   What can we want or need?
He leads us to the tender grass,
   And there we feed and rest;
Then to the streams that gently pass,
   In both we have the best.

If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. (Matt. 18:19)
Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)
’Tis prayer supports the soul that’s weak;
Though thought be broken, language lame,
Pray, if thou can or cannot speak;
But pray with faith in Jesus’ name.
Depend on Him; thou cannot fail;
Make all thy wants and wishes known;
Fear not; His merits must prevail:
Ask but in faith, it shall be done.

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7)
Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself. (John 8:59)
Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him. (Matt. 27:41‑42)
Himself He could not save,
   For justice must be done;
Our sin’s full weight must fall
   Upon the sinless One;
For nothing less can God accept
In payment of that fearful debt.

If they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. (Eccl. 4:10)
I will extol Thee, O Lord; for Thou hast lifted me up. (Psa. 30:1)
Hitherto the Lord has helped us,
   Guiding all the way;
Henceforth let us trust Him fully,
   Trust Him all the day;
Hitherto the Lord has loved us,
   Caring for His own;
Henceforth resting in Him always,
   Live for Him alone.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. (Psa. 34:13)
He that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. (1 Peter 3:10‑11)
’Tis the little word you’re led to say
   Which touched that other life,
And gave it nerve and strength again
   To conquer in the strife.
’Tis just the secret little talk
   With Jesus by the way;
That keeps you loving, true to Him
   In all you do and say.

They were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me. (Hos. 13:6)
Thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thine help. (Hos. 13:9)
Neither will we say anymore to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy. (Hos. 14:3)
Let one in his innocence glory,
   Another in works he has done;
Thy blood is my claim and title;
   Besides it, O Lord, I’ve none;
The scorned, the despised, the rejected,
   Thou’st come to this heart of mine;
In Thy robes of eternal glory,
   Thou welcomest me to Thine.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. (Heb. 6:17‑19)
Oh by Thy Holy Spirit
   Reveal in us Thy love,
The joy we shall inherit
   With Thee, our Head, above;
May all this consolation
   Our trembling hearts sustain —
Sure — though through tribulation —
   The promised rest to gain.

Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. (Gen. 18:32)
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. (Eccl. 7:19)
Wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. (Prov. 8:11)
Poor and feeble though we be,
Saviour, we belong to Thee!
Thine we are, Thou Son of God,
Thine, the purchase of Thy blood.
Boundless wisdom, power divine,
Love unspeakable, are Thine;
Praise by all to Thee be given,
Son of God, and Heir of heaven!

He prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her FRUIT. (James 5:18)
By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the FRUIT of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15)
O Lord, we know it matters not
   How sweet the song may be;
No heart but of the Spirit taught
   Makes melody to Thee.
Oh largely give; ’tis all Thine own,
   The Spirit’s goodly fruit:
Praise, issuing forth in life, alone
   Our living Lord can suit.

There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. (Prov. 13:7)
Being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Phil. 2:8)
O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. (John 17:5)
From the palace of His glory,
   From the home of joy and love,
Came the Lord Himself to seek us;
   He would have us there above.
And in past and distant ages,
   In those courts so bright and fair,
Ere we were, was He rejoicing,
   All He won with us to share.
