| Though He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God. (2 Cor. 13:4) |
| That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death. (Phil. 3:10) |

 |

| Come nearer, Sun of Righteousness! that we, Whose swift, short hours of day so swiftly run, So overflowed with love and light may be, So lost in glory of the nearing Sun, That not our light, but Thine, the world may see; New praise to Thee through our poor lives be won. |

| Our sins on the cross He on Calvary bore; He blotted them out and they are no more; Now pardoned and washed we boldly draw near, And cry, “Abba, Father!” unhindered by fear. |
 |
| Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. (1 Cor. 9:24) |
| Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:13‑14) |
| To Him our weakness clings Through tribulation sore, And seeks the covert of His wings Till all be o’er; And when we’ve run the race, And fought the faithful fight, We then shall see Him face to face, With saints in light. |
 |
| Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3) |
| Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him. (1 Peter 3:22) |
| Dead, the sinner past and gone, Not the sin alone; Living, where Thou art in glory, On the throne. |
| Hidden there with Christ in God, That blest life I share; Christ it is who liveth in me — Liveth there. |
 |

| He held His peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am. (Mark 14:61‑62) |
| Oh faithful Witness of our God, Who cam’st by water and by blood! God’s record does forever stand Of life eternal from His hand. |
|
| He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. (Isa. 40:11) |
| Even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. (Isa. 46:4) |
| He leads us on through all the unquiet years; Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts and fears, He guides our steps, through all the tangled maze Of losses, sorrows and o’erclouded days; We know His will is done, And still He leads us on. |
|

| O Lamb of God, still keep us Close to Thy pierced side; ’Tis only there in safety And peace we can abide; With foes and snares around us, And lusts and fears within, The grace that sought and found us Alone can keep us clean. |
|
| Repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15) |
| Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. (Luke 15:10) |
| Saved through the blood of Jesus, Saved from the curse of sin, Saved now to share Christ’s glory, Are all who trust in Him; Joy is among the angels, And in the heart of God, As each unworthy sinner Trusts in the precious blood. |
|
| Let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. (1 Thess. 5:8‑10) |
| O Lord! our hearts are waiting, The archangel’s heaven-sent cry, Which wakes the saints now sleeping, And to Thee brings them nigh; When we, with them ascending, Shall meet Thee in the air, To gaze upon Thy glory, And all Thy likeness bear. |
|

|
| Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in His sight. (1 Chron. 19:13) |
| There failed not aught of any good thing which the Lord had spoken …all came to pass. (Josh. 21:45) |

|
| Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. (Isa. 51:1) |
| Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Cor. 6:20) |
| “Not your own” but His, the King; His, the Lord of earth and sky; His, to whom archangels bring Homage deep and praises high; What can royal birth bestow? Or the proudest titles show? Can such dignity be known As the glorious name, “His own”? |
|
| Though they found no cause of death in Him, yet desired they Pilate that He should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of Him, they took Him down from the tree, and laid Him in a sepulchre. But God raised Him from the dead. (Acts 13:28‑30) |
| Once we stood in condemnation, Waiting thus the sinner’s doom; Christ in death has wrought salvation; God has raised Him from the tomb. |

|
| God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me. Selah. (Psa. 49:15) |

| Asleep in Jesus: oh, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That death has lost its venomed sting. |

|
| I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace. (Deut. 2:26) |

|
| When I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to every one that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto Thee! My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed. (Psa. 71:18‑19,23) |

| Be not righteous over much, neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? (Eccl. 7:16) |

| Therefore tread they in earth’s darkest places, Through all grief and sin, For they know the home that waits the weary, Know the love within. |
|
| O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. (Psa. 34:8) |

| Thus to show to the world that rejects Thee, To show to the angels above, How blessed Thy yoke and Thy burden, To him who has tasted Thy love. |
