To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, He doth send out His VOICE, and that a mighty VOICE. (Psa. 68:33)

Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to Thy VOICE: cause me to hear it. (Song of Sol. 8:13)

Hear attentively the noise of His VOICE, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth. (Job 37:2)

The VOICE of my beloved! (Song of Sol. 2:8)

And therefore, O my God, with full
      assurance
   I hear, and I rejoice;
The heart of Christ, beyond men’s
      thoughts and dreamings,
   Told in His VOICE.

Far down the future’s broadening way;
In PEACE that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, my God, let me live.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. (Psa. 48:1)

The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised. (Psa. 96:4)

I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. (Psa. 34:1‑2)

Saviour divine, whose name we know,
In whom alone we trust,
Thou art the Lord our righteousness;
Thou art Thy people’s boast.

To Thee, our great redeeming Lord,
What lasting thanks we owe,
For raising sinners to such joys
From depths of endless woe.

Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited. (Lev. 16:21‑22)

My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou sewest up mine iniquity. (Job 14:17)

I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. (Jer. 33:8)

See Him for our transgressions given;
See the blest Lamb of God from heaven,
For us, His foes, expire;
Rejoice! rejoice! the tidings hear!
He bore, that we might never bear,
The Almighty’s righteous ire.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. (Psa. 34:6)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. (Psa. 46:1‑3)

Though I dwell in the midst of foes,
   Yet there is my table spread,
And His presence wraps me round
   And His wings are o’er my head;
Father and infinite God,
   My refuge and fortress rock,
Where I hide from the tempest’s wrath,
   And feel not the earthquake shock;
So I abide with a soul serene,
   And a heart that is undismayed;
He is my strength and my shield;
   Of whom shall I be afraid?

Thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him shall they glory. For thus saith the Lord … Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. (Jer. 4:2‑3)

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. (Col. 3:5,15)

With thankful hearts we now can bid
Farewell to pleasure here!
With Christ in God our life is hid,
And all its springs are there.

A mind at perfect peace with God:
Oh, what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled through blood:
This, this indeed is peace!

The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5)

This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19)

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed. (John 12:36)

Now’s the time, the time accepted;
Now to thee God’s light has shone;
Christ God’s love has manifested;
He the finished work has done.

Broken heart! the river’s flowing;
Haste! delay not! be not deceived;
Hear the Word of God beseeching,
“While you have the light, believe.”

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. (Hag. 2:9)

I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. (Lev. 26:6)

Oh joy unto the nations, O Judah, thou shalt be,
When out of all the countries the Lord has gathered
   thee,
And thou shalt be a blessing from sea to farthest sea;
For God shall yet avenge thee on those who scorn
   thee now,
And all who have oppressed thee low at thy feet
   shall bow;
Thy King shall dwell among thee, His glory on thy
   brow;
And thou shalt yet be planted within thy promised
   land,
A light unto the Gentiles, a banner in God’s hand;
The stranger’s sons shall serve thee, and kings
   before thee stand.

The just Lord is in the midst thereof; He will not do iniquity: every morning doth He bring His judgment to light, He faileth not. (Zeph. 3:5)

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. (Lam. 3:22‑23)

His faithfulness fails not; it meets each new
   day
With guidance for every new step of the way;
New grace for new trials, new trust for old
   fears,
New patience for bearing the wrongs of the
   years,
New strength for new burdens, new courage
   for old,
New faith for whatever the day may unfold;
As fresh for each need as the dew on the sod;
Oh, new every morning the mercies of God!

Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. (Gen. 24:63)

My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. (Psa. 104:34)

In the quiet of the moments
We devote to meditate
Comes the peace that passes
knowledge
Where old restless doubtings fade;
And we know the warming presence
Of the God who’s always near
As we bow in deep devotion
In the quiet ways of prayer.

Darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. (Job 22:11)

Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24)

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. (Isa. 45:8)

The perfect righteousness of God
Is witnessed in the Saviour’s blood;
’Tis in the cross of Christ we trace
His righteousness, yet wondrous grace.

The sin alights on Jesus’ head;
’Tis in His blood sin’s debt is paid;
Stern justice can demand no more,
And mercy can dispense her store.

They could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. (Dan. 6:4‑5)

This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (1 Peter 2:19‑20)

Dear loving Father, hold my hand
   Each moment lest I fall;
Thine is the power to keep — my part
   To let Thee, that is all;
I dare not take one step alone,
   And, oh, how sweet it is to know
Thy loving, mighty, tender clasp
   Will never let me go.

They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. (Job 4:8)

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Gal. 6:8)

To him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. (Prov. 11:18)

“And Enoch walked with God”:
No other mortal ever trod
So bright a path, with such a friend
To such a radiant, hallowed end;
We are not told the weary years,
The heartbreaks, maybe, and the tears,
But just — he walked with God.

Turn Thou us unto Thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned. (Lam. 5:21)

A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. (John 3:27)

By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:8‑9)

Oh, what a gift the Father gave
When He bestowed His Son!
To save poor, ruined, guilty man,
By sin defiled, undone.

For I was lost and vile indeed!
To sin a willing prey;
Till God in mercy interposed,
And turned my night to day.

They shall see eye to eye. (Isa. 52:8)

Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. (2 John 12)

Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Cor. 13:12)

Face to face — and that forever;
Face to face, where naught can sever;
I shall see Him in His beauty, face to
face;
I have caught faint glimpses here,
Seen through many a falling tear,
But — what glory when I see Him face
to face!

I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. (Jer. 31:25)

The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied. (Prov. 19:23)

Still in a land of drought and dearth,
   Our longing spirits cry
To Thee, the Lord of heaven and
      earth,
   Our thirst to satisfy.

O Thou with love more strong than
      death,
   Unquenched by deepest waves;
We need throughout the walk of faith
   The same free grace that saves.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. (Hab. 3:17‑19)

Though vine, nor fig tree neither,
   Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
   Nor flocks, nor herds, be there:
Yet God the same abiding,
   His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
   I cannot but rejoice.

It shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die. (1 Kings 2:37)

The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over. (2 Sam. 15:23)

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden. (John 18:1)

See the lonely Man now bending,
In the lone Gethsemane,
Drops of blood His conflict marking
Whilst He prays in agony!

Onward still to Calvary marching,
Onward still He speeds His way
(His own Father’s will fulfilling),
Love to sinners to display.

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. (Eccl. 7:2)

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. (Eccl. 7:8)

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider. (Eccl. 7:14)

He that feareth God shall come forth of them all. (Eccl. 7:18)

Ah, Lord, I trust Thee! Thou wilt never
   take
Aught from my life but what my life
   should give;
Choose what Thou wilt; that choice I too
   will make,
And in my death to self learn how to live.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. A sound heart is the life of the flesh. (Prov. 14:29‑30)

My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. (James 1:19‑20)

Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
A merciful spirit I pray;
That suffers the wrongs of another
And seeks not the ill to repay.

Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
Thy tender, compassionate grace,
That others beholding my visage
The light of Thy likeness may trace.

To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43)

As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. (John 1:12)

Free from the law, oh, happy condition!
Jesus has bled, and there is remission!
Cursed by the law and bruised by the
fall,
Grace has redeemed us once for all.

“Children of God!” Oh, glorious calling!
Surely His grace will keep us from
falling;
Passing from death to life at His call,
Blessed salvation once for all.

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Rom. 8:2)

If we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. (Rom. 6:5,8)

Unto Thy death baptized,
   We own with Thee we died:
With Thee, our life, we’re risen,
   And shall be glorified;
From sin, the world and Satan,
   We’re ransomed by Thy blood,
And here would walk as strangers,
   Alive with Thee to God.

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. (Eccl. 11:1)

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. (Isa. 32:20)

God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (2 Cor. 9:8)

Man’s weakness, waiting upon God,
Its end can never miss,
For men on earth no work can do
More angel-like than this.

He only wins who sides with God;
To him no chance is lost;
God’s will is always sweetest, when
It triumphs at His cost.

Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord. In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon … the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing. And he said unto him, Go in peace. (2 Kings 5:17‑19)

God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness. (Acts 15:8)

How sweet to the soul is communion with
   saints,
Thy Spirit’s blest witness, the smiles of Thy
   face;
And grant us still patience to wait at Thy
   throne,
And find, never-ceasing, the foretaste of home.

He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done. And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. (Matt. 26:39,42,44)

If the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free. (Ex. 21:5)

He is speaking to His Father,
Tasting deep that bitter cup,
Yet He takes it, willing rather
For our sakes to drink it up;
Oh what love! He loved me!
Gave Himself, my soul, for thee.

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? (Prov. 18:14)

We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15)

Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame:
He knows what sorest trials mean,
For He has felt the same.

Then boldly let our faith address
The throne of grace and power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In every needed hour.

Order my steps in Thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. (Psa. 119:133)

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. (Psa. 37:31)

Leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps. (1 Peter 2:21)

Too busy — oh forbid, dear Lord,
That I should ever be
Too much engrossed in worldly tasks
To spend an hour with Thee!

To hear what Thou wouldst say to me,
And hold communion sweet;
To praise Thy precious, worthy name
And worship at Thy feet.

If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not. But if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works; that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in Me, and I in Him. And many resorted unto Him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. And many believed on Him there. (John 10:37‑38,41‑42)

All that we were — our sins, our guilt,
Our death — was all our own;
All that we are we owe to Thee,
Thou God of grace, alone.

Thy mercy found us in our sins,
And gave us to believe;
Then, in believing, peace we found;
And in Thy Christ we live.

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Phil. 1:20‑21)

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. (Col. 3:4)

We shall see Him as He is —
Let this hope in us undying,
Keep us pure as He is pure,
All the wiles of sin defying.

Then shall we be satisfied,
Ended all the soul’s endeavor;
We shall see Him as He is,
And shall reign with Him forever.

If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom. 8:10‑11)

Ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. (1 Cor. 3:23)

And perfect in Christ Jesus made,
On Him our great transgressions laid;
We in His righteousness arrayed.

Complete in Him, our glorious Head,
With Jesus raised from the dead,
And by His mighty Spirit led!
