There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul. (Eccl. 6:1‑2)

Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world. (Psa. 73:12)

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Matt. 11:29)

No room for Thee in busy marts;
Thy pure and gentle face
Would shame the hard and selfish hearts
That run the worldly race.

No room for Him whose sacrifice
Can put thy guilt away?
O doubting soul, arise, arise;
Receive the Christ today!

There shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face. (Rev. 22:3‑4)

This is the Lord; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. (Isa. 25:9)

There is a wondrous city, beautiful, bright and fair;
The throne of God is in it and the glory of God is
   there;
And oh, the joy of knowing, as the Lord’s redeemed
   can know,
While through the tribulations of this earthly life
   they go,
There shall be no more toiling; there shall be no
   more curse;
There shall be no more crying, hunger, fears or
   thirst;
There shall be no more burdens, grievous and hard
   to bear;
There shall be no more heartache, through the
   eternal years!

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth. (Prov. 11:24)

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. (Eccl. 11:6)

They that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. (Acts 8:4)

Oh go ye into all the world
Is His divine command;
I hear His voice so tender;
I see His loving hand.

And when the sheaves are gathered up
Before His throne that day —
Then shall there be precious souls
Whom we have shown the way.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. (1 Peter 5:6)

Thou art my God, and I will praise Thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for His mercy endureth forever. (Psa. 118:28‑29)

Soon shall the saints, exalted high,
A glorious anthem raise;
And all that dwell beneath the sky
Speak forth Thine endless praise.

Redeemed creation join in one,
To adore the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to exalt the Lamb.

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let Him be crucified. (Matt. 27:22)

God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)

O cross of Christ! O glorious tree!
What place can be compared with
thee,
Where God’s own Son was crucified,
And for our sins a ransom died?

We joy to see Thee, Lord, arise
Triumphant through the opening
skies;
And hear all heaven united own
Thee worthy to ascend the throne.

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. (Prov. 30:5)

Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill. Selah. (Psa. 3:3‑4)

I know — against this fortress wall
The gates of hell shall not prevail;
I know in whom I have believed
And that His Word shall never fail;
I know that He is able still,
Is strong to save and strong to keep;
And all that I commit to Him
Is safe, though I may wake or sleep.

It came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while He talked with him. (Ex. 34:29)

They marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13)

Fill all my vision; let naught of sin
Shadow the brightness shining within;
Let me see only Thy blessed face,
Feasting my soul on Thy infinite grace.

Fill all my vision, Saviour divine,
Till with Thy glory my spirit shall shine;
Fill all my vision, that all may see
Thy holy image reflected in me.

When I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear. (Isa. 65:12)

It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isa. 65:24)

To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word. (Isa. 66:2)

Now no barrier to hinder,
Jesus has removed it all;
God can in His Son receive thee —
Answer then His loving call.

Let thy soul delight the Saviour
By submitting to His love;
And in everlasting favor,
Thou shalt dwell with Him above.

We, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For ye are our glory and joy. (1 Thess. 2:17,19‑20)

Then let us, brethren, while on earth,
With foes and strangers mixed,
Be mindful of our heavenly birth,
Our thoughts on glory fixed.

That we should glorify Him here
Our Father’s purpose is:
Whene’er the Saviour shall appear,
He’ll fully own us His.

God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and FILLED the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. (Gen. 21:19)

In the morning ye shall be FILLED with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. (Ex. 16:12)

Thine increase … and hast given it unto … the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be FILLED. (Deut. 26:12)

Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be FILLED with plenty. (Prov. 3:9‑10)

He FILLED their houses with good things. (Job 22:18)

Eternal love their portion is,
Where love has found its rest;
And, FILLED with Thee, the constant mind
Eternally is blest.

I love the Lord because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. (Psa. 116:1‑5)

He giveth songs in the night of our sorrow,
When tears are our drink and when grief is our
meat,
Till we silence our weeping and still our
repining
To list to those cadences sweet.

Give us Thy songs, O Thou maker of music!
Teach us to sing, O Thou bringer of joy!
Till nothing can silence the notes of our
triumph
And naught our rejoicing destroy!

In those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (Heb. 10:3‑4)

One of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. (John 19:34‑35)

“A better sacrifice” than these
It needs, the conscience to appease
Or satisfy the Lord:
No blood has virtue to atone
For man’s offense, but His alone
Whose title is “The Word.”

The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. (2 Chron. 16:9)

Know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him. (Psa. 4:3)

I will not be afraid, for I know
That He keepeth me safe from harm,
And He shall defend His own
With a strong and a stretched-out arm;
Though I grope in perilous paths
In darkness and danger and doubt,
I know as He brought me in,
So He surely will bring me out;
I will trust and not be afraid —
I have seen, I have heard, I have known;
This mighty and terrible God
Has called me and made me His own.

Thou shalt furnish him LIBERALLY out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. (Deut. 15:14)

How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their LIBERALITY. (2 Cor. 8:2)

They glorify God … for your LIBERAL distribution unto them, and unto all men. (2 Cor. 9:13)

The LIBERAL soul shall be made fat. (Prov. 11:25)

A little boy once long ago,
At even, ere the sun sank low,
Freely offered his meager food,
Which Thou didst take and bless and break,
And with it fed the multitude;
Dear Lord, with like simplicity
I bring and give my life to Thee
To bless and break as seems most good;
Then of it take, for Thy dear sake,
And use — to feed the multitude.

Saith the Lord … My name continually every day is blasphemed. (Isa. 52:5)

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. (Phil. 2:10)

This is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ. (1 John 3:23)

All who in His name believe,
Everlasting life receive;
Lord of all is Jesus now;
Every knee to Him must bow.

Christ the Lord will come again;
He who suffered once will reign;
Every tongue at last will own,
“Worthy is the Lamb” alone.

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. (Luke 21:26)

They shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish. (Isa. 8:22)

Our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil. 3:20)

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither. (Rev. 4:1)

Give us the light of the thought of Thy coming;
   Dark is the night, and its shadows are nigh,
Dim, flaring lamps of man’s genius and learning —
   All, all have failed us; they flicker and die;
Dark is the night, but above and beyond it
   Soon shall the day break and shadows all flee;
Soon shall we see Thine ineffable glory;
   Light of the world, we are following Thee.

Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. (John 19:19)

God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Gal. 6:14)

When the world would bid me leave
         Thee,
   Telling me of shame and loss,
Saviour, guard me, lest I grieve Thee,
   Lest I cease to love Thy cross:
      This is treasure;
   All the rest I count but dross.

O Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thine ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who desire to fear Thy name: and prosper, I pray Thee, Thy servant this day, and grant him mercy. (Neh. 1:11)

Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord. (Psa. 119:108)

By Thee my prayers acceptance gain;
Attentive is Thine ear —
No prayer ascends to Thee in vain,
For Thou art always near.

Grace bid me live, and taught my tongue
To aim at notes divine;
And grace accepts my feeble song;
The glory, Lord, be Thine!

He shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not. (Lev. 16:12‑13)

Christ … hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Eph. 5:2)

We’ll praise Thee, glorious Lord,
Who died to set us free;
No earthly songs can joy afford
Like heavenly melody.

Love, that on death’s dark vale
Its sweetest odors spread,
Where sin o’er all seemed to prevail,
Redemption’s glory shed.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with Thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Deut. 31:6)

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7)

Choose Thou my path, Lord Jesus,
If smooth or wholly rough;
To walk in Thy dear footsteps
Will ever be enough.

If dark the way and dreary,
My heart be full of fear,
But I shall never falter
If only Thou art near.

My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that ye should minister unto Him. (2 Chron. 29:11)

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy … that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; holding faith, and a good conscience. (1 Tim. 1:18‑19)

God wants our sons with all their life
That He, as gold, may make them pure,
And teach them trials to endure,
   His heroes brave
      He’d have them be;
   Fighting for truth
      And purity,
   God wants our sons!

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. (John 9:41)

If the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague. (Lev. 13:13)

Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Luke 5:31‑32)

The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks, the drooping heart to cheer;
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.

Your many sins are all forgiven;
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heaven,
And wear a crown with Jesus.

Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:1‑2)

Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (1 Peter 1:21)

I go on my way rejoicing,
Though weary the wilderness road —
I go on my way rejoicing
In hope of the glory of God.

I go on my way rejoicing
That the heavens and earth shall see
His grace, His glory and beauty,
In the depth of His love to me.

Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether MY WORD shall come to pass unto thee or not. (Num. 11:23)

Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten MY WORD to perform it. (Jer. 1:12)

Is not MY WORD like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? (Jer. 23:29)

glow,
And lift them up where they are low;
And freshen them, that they may flow
According to Thy will.

From the sixth hour there was DARKNESS over all the land unto the ninth hour. (Matt. 27:45)

See the sun at noonday hidden;
See the rocks and mountains shake;
See the Man midst DARKNESS smitten!
Why did God His Son forsake?

It came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near, and went with them. And He said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? (Luke 24:15,17)

Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon Thee: Thou saidst, Fear not. (Lam. 3:57)

Yea, life is like the Emmaus road,
   And we tread it not alone,
For beside us walks the Son of God,
   To uphold and keep His own;
And our hearts within us thrill with joy
   At His words of love and grace,
And the blessed hope that when day is
      done
   We shall see His blessed face.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (3 John 4)

Give me a little child to point the way
Over the strange sweet path that leads to
Thee;
Give me a little voice to teach to pray;
Give me two shining eyes Thy face to see;
I do not ask that I should ever stand
Among the wise, the worthy, or the great;
I only ask that softly, hand in hand,
A child and I may enter at Thy gate.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. (Gen. 1:27)

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto Him? (Isa. 40:18)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (Rom. 1:25)

Oh gift of mercy all divine!
We once were slaves of death and hell,
But in Christ’s image we shall shine:
For every gift a song we raise,
But this demands eternal praise.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (1 Cor. 15:19‑21)

The joy of those who hear
Beyond all doubt and fear,
Through jarring echoes of discordant strife,
That one voice sounding clear —
“I am the resurrection and the life;
They who believe on Me
From death’s dark thrall I free;
I drank that bitter cup; I passed that
      gloomy door;
Through that lone valley I have gone
      before;
Because I live, they live forevermore”;
   This joy be thine.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, HAPPY ARE YE; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. (1 Peter 4:14,16)

If ye know these things, HAPPY ARE YE if ye do them. (John 13:17)

I gave My life for thee; My precious blood I
   shed,
That thou might ransomed be, and raised up
   from the dead;
I gave, I gave My life for thee — what hast
   thou given for Me?

I suffered much for thee, more than thy tongue
can tell,
Of bitterest agony, to rescue thee from hell;
I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee — what
hast thou borne for Me?
