Made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. And He led them on safely, so that they feared not. (Psa. 78:52‑53)
He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. (Psa. 95:7)
Follow thou Me — though stranger voices
   hail thee,
I am the way and there is none beside;
There is no other staff that shall not fail
   thee;
There is no other eye than Mine to guide;
There is no other Shepherd who can fold
   thee
By such still waters, in such pastures fair;
There is no other arm can safely hold thee
In doubt and danger, darkness and despair.

I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto Thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy. (Psa. 59:16‑17)
Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise
The blessings of redeeming grace;
Jesus, our everlasting tower,
Mocks at the angry tempest’s roar.
His love’s a refuge ever nigh;
His watchfulness, a mountain high;
His name’s a rock, which winds
   above
Nor waves below can ever move.

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out a place for the Lord. (Psa. 132:4‑5)
They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table. (Ezek. 44:16)
Great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. (Isa. 12:6)
“Abba, Father,” we approach Thee
In our Savior’s precious name;
We, Thy children, here assembling,
Now the promised blessing claim.
Clothed in garments of salvation,
At Thy table is our place;
We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest,
In the riches of Thy grace.

My soul fainteth for Thy salvation: but I hope in Thy word. (Psa. 119:81)
They that fear Thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Thy word. (Psa. 119:74)
Fill all my vision; every desire
Keep for Thy glory; my soul inspire
With Thy perfection, Thy holy love
Flooding my pathway with light
   from above.
Fill all my vision, Savior divine,
Till with Thy glory my spirit shall
   shine;
Fill all my vision, that all may see
Thy holy image reflected in me.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Deut. 11:18‑19)
God’s Word will heal the broken heart,
And heavenly riches does impart,
Unfolds redemption’s wondrous plan,
Through Christ’s atoning death for man.
O God, in whom our trust we place,
We thank Thee for Thy Word of grace;
Help us its precepts to obey,
Till we shall live in endless day.

As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die? (Ezek. 33:11)
For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might … live according to God in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:6)
Why will you linger?
Why will you die?
God’s wrath upon you,
Judgment so nigh;
Now in salvation’s day,
Come to Him while you may;
Sinner, no more delay:
Jesus will save.

I will GUIDE thee with Mine eye. (Psa. 32:8)
He will be our GUIDE even unto death. (Psa. 48:14)
Thou shalt GUIDE me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. (Psa. 73:24)
Most merciful High Priest,
Our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
’Tis in Thy love alone we trust
Until the end.
Thou wilt our souls sustain;
Our GUIDE and strength wilt be,
Until in glory, Lord, above,
Thy face we see.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father. (1 Thess. 1:3)
Now abideth faith, hope, charity [love], these three; but the greatest of these is charity [love]. (1 Cor. 13:13)
When faith and hope shall cease,
   And love abide alone,
Then shall we see Him face to face,
   And know as known:
Still shall we lift our voice;
   His praise our song shall be;
And we shall in His love rejoice
   Who set us free.

I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised. (Psa. 18:1‑3)
We thank Thee, Lord, for weary days
   When desert springs were dry,
And first we knew what depth of
      need
   Thy love could satisfy.
The touch that heals the broken heart
   Is never felt above;
His angels know His blessedness,
   His way-worn saints His love.

It came to pass, as He sat at meat with them, He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. (Luke 24:30‑31)
In this broken bread we own Thee,
   Bruised for us and put to shame;
And this cup, O Lord, we thank
      Thee,
   Speaks our pardon through Thy
      name.
Now our willing hearts adore Thee;
   Now we taste Thy dying love,
While by faith we come before
      Thee —
   Faith which lifts our souls above.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
Fear not … be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. (Joel 2:21)
There is a Form that walks life’s stormy
      ocean,
   Bidding the noise of wind and tempest
      cease;
Crying aloud through the wild commotion,
   “In Me ye shall have peace.”
Oh, it is Jesus coming o’er the waters,
   As once He walked the waves of Galilee,
Speaking comfort to all His sons and
      daughters,
   “Fear not; have faith in Me.”

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. (Prov. 4:13)
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth. (Job 5:17)
My Father, let the sorrows come
That blotted out the sunlit skies,
That stopped the toil of busy hands
And turned my laughter into sighs.
If He had left me to myself,
I know the joys I should have lost,
The good that I had lacked or
   missed,
How much I gained, how small the
   cost.

Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you. (Isa. 59:2)
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins. (Acts 26:18)
God so loved this world of sinners
That He sent His only Son,
Saying, whosoe’er accepts Him
Everlasting life has won!
All have sinned, He tells us plainly,
All in judgment thus condemned,
But God’s Christ has suffered for us;
Righteous judgment thus He stemmed.

The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 5:23)
Do Thou, the very God of peace,
   Us wholly sanctify,
And grant us such a rich
      increase
   Of power from on high,
That spirit, soul and body may,
   Preserved free from stain,
Be blameless until that great day;
   Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

All the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Cor. 1:20)
He performeth the thing that is appointed for me. (Job 23:14)
The work which His goodness began,
   The arm of His strength will
      complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen,
   And never was forfeited yet:
Things future, nor things that are
      now,
   Nor all things below nor above,
Can make Him His purpose forego,
   Or sever our souls from His love.

The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. (Psa. 119:72)
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psa. 19:9‑11)
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine;
   And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in the mighty depths
   For every searcher there.
Oh, may I love Thy precious Word;
   May I explore the mine;
May I its fragrant flowers glean;
   May light upon me shine.

When Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Matt. 7:28‑29)
Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. (John 19:14‑15)
Man the cross to Him awarded;
   Man the Savior crucified;
This world’s judgment stands
      recorded,
   God’s own justice satisfied!
         By the glory
Christ was claimed on earth who
      died.

Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee. (Gen. 26:24)
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. (Gen. 50:21)
Good is the word of the Lord. (Isa. 39:8)
Fear not that thy need shall ex-
   ceed His provision;
Our God ever yearns His re-
   sources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting,
   availing;
The Father both thee and thy load
   will upbear.

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not He correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not He know? (Psa. 94:10)
O Lord, correct me, but with judgment. (Jer. 10:24)
Whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. (Prov. 3:12)
Afflictions do not come alone;
   A voice attends the rod;
He, by both, to His saints is known,
   A Father and a God!
The wicked I perhaps may leave
   Awhile, and not reprove;
But all the children I receive
   I scourge, because I love.

See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven. (Heb. 12:25)
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? (Heb. 2:3)
Hark! The Savior’s voice from
      heaven,
   Speaking pardon full and free;
Come, and thou shalt be forgiven;
   Boundless mercy flows for thee.
Hear His love and mercy speaking —
   Come and trust thy soul with Me;
Though thy heart for sin be breaking,
   I have rest and peace for thee.

The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (1 Thess. 4:16)
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1 Cor. 15:55)
The Lord Himself shall come,
   And shout a quickening word;
Thousands shall answer from the
      tomb:
   “Forever with the Lord!”
Then, as we upward fly,
   That resurrection-word
Shall be our shout of victory:
   “Forever with the Lord!”

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant. (Psa. 25:14)
I have loved thee. (Rev. 3:9)
Oh to have me there beside Him
   In the love and light,
There to tell my heart how
      precious
   Am I in His sight.
There His heart’s deep love
      disclosing,
   Told in words divine;
I have known His joy in saying,
   “Thou art ever Mine.”

Another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. (Rev. 8:3‑4)
And now we draw near to the throne of
   grace,
For His blood and the Priest are there;
And we joyfully seek God’s holy face,
With our censer of praise and prayer;
The burning mount and the mystic veil,
With our terrors and guilt, are gone;
Our conscience has peace that can never
   fail:
’Tis the Lamb on high on the throne.

He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. (Isa. 53:9)
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. (Matt. 27:57‑58)
Praise the Savior, ye who know
      Him;
Who can tell how much we owe
      Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
   All we have and are.

He … shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them. (Isa. 49:10)
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. (Psa. 23:2)
God took my hand;
He led me that I might not stray
And brought me by a new, safe way;
By waters still through pastures
   green
I followed Him; the path was clean;
The darkness lost its strength;
My waiting eyes beheld at length —
On, safely on, through sunrise glow
I walked, my hand in His, and lo,
The night had gone.

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. (John 21:12)
Feed my lambs. (John 21:15)
Feed my sheep. (John 21:16)
Christ … leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps. (1 Peter 2:21)
Good Shepherd, over whom no foe
   prevaileth,
To whom the least of wandering lambs is
   known,
Grant us Thy love that wearieth not nor
   faileth;
Grant us to seek Thy wayward sheep that
   roam
Far on the fell, until we find and fold
   them
Safe in the love of Thee, their own true
   home.

Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works’ sake. (John 14:11)
This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. (John 17:3)
The Father sent the Son
   A ruined world to save;
Man meted out the sinless One
   The cross — the grave;
Blest substitute from God,
   Wrath’s awful cup He drained;
Laid down His life, and e’en the
      tomb’s
   Reproach sustained.

Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. (Obad. 17,21)
At length — the final kingdom,
No bound, no end possessing:
   When heaven and earth —
   God all in all
Shall fill with largest blessing;
All root of evil banished,
No breath of sin to wither,
   On earth — on high —
   Naught else but joy,
And blissful peace forever!
