I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. (John 16:22)

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (John 20:29)

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)

No more deferred our hope shall be;
No longer through a glass we’ll see,
But clearly face to face;
We’ll dwell with Jesus then above,
Whom absent we have learned to love,
Blest samples of His grace.

They have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints. (1 Cor. 16:15)

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)

An odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. (Phil. 4:18)

Is your burden hard and heavy?
Do your steps drag wearily?
Help to bear your brother’s burden;
God will bear both it and thee.

For the heart grows rich in giving;
All its wealth is living grain;
Seeds which mildew in the garner,
Scattered, fill with gold the plain.

These men were bound … and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. And the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent His angel, and delivered His servants that trusted in Him. (Dan. 3:21,27‑28)

Sometimes I walk in the shadow,
Sometimes in sunlight clear;
But whether in gloom or brightness,
The Lord is very near.

Sometimes I walk in green pastures,
Sometimes on barren land;
But whether in peace or danger,
The Lord holds fast my hand.

Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; called of God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (Heb. 5:8‑10)

Jesus, captain of salvation,
Conqueror both of death and hell!
Thou who didst as sin’s oblation,
Feel what Thou alone couldst feel:
Through Thy sufferings, death and
merit,
We eternal bliss inherit;
Thousand thousand thanks to Thee,
Jesus, Lord, forever be!

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth all things for me. (Psa. 57:1‑2)

I will trust Him, yea, I will trust,
For He never has failed me yet,
And never a day nor an hour,
But mine uttermost need is met;
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.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:34‑35)

I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. (John 13:15)

God has given a standard of love to
   His own,
That His children should have for
   each other;
That as He unto us love unmeasured
   has shown,
We ought also to love one another.

He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Gen. 3:24)

Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life. (Rev. 22:14)

The new and living way
   Stands open now to heaven;
Thence, where the blood is seen alway,
   God’s gift is given;
The river of His grace,
   Through righteousness supplied,
Is flowing o’er the barren place
   Where Jesus died!

We shall live with Him. (2 Cor. 13:4)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Cor. 13:14)

Oh, if this glimpse of love
Is so divinely sweet,
What will it be, O Lord, above,
Thy gladdening smile to meet!

To see Thee face to face,
Thy perfect likeness wear,
And all Thy ways of wondrous
grace
Through endless years declare.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft REFRESHED me. (2 Tim. 1:16)

The more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was REFRESHED by you all. (2 Cor. 7:13)

We have great joy and consolation in thy love, because … the saints are REFRESHED by thee, brother. (Philem. 7)

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be REFRESHED. (Rom. 15:32)

   Oh how free,
And every moment with Christ is
      precious
   Unto me.

Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy. (Psa. 132:9)

Ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests. (Ex. 19:6)

Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:5‑6)

O Lord, we adore Thee,
For Thou art the slain One
That livest forever,
Enthroned in heaven;
O Lord! we adore Thee,
For Thou hast redeemed us;
Our title to glory
We read in Thy blood.

God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:8‑10)

Awake each soul! Awake each tongue!
The subject is divine;
The Savior’s love demands our song;
Let all His people join.

This Savior is the mighty God,
The God of heaven above;
Revealed in flesh, He shed His blood,
Blest proof of endless love.

The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee. (Psa. 20:1‑2)

To see Thy power and Thy glory, so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary. (Psa. 63:2)

Whatever foes or fears betide,
In Thy blest presence let us hide;
And while we rest our souls on Thee,
Thou shalt our sanctuary be.

In Thee we every glory view,
Of safety, strength, and beauty too;
’Tis all our rest and peace to see
Our sanctuary, Lord, in Thee.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. (Heb. 13:17)

Christian, rise, and act your creed;
Let your prayer be in your deed;
Seek the right; perform the true;
Raise your work and life anew.

That they who watch may with
joy
Give account you’re God’s employ;
See your works in humble zeal,
Manifesting you are real.

After that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. But we preach Christ crucified. (1 Cor. 1:21,23)

Savior, though the world de-
         spised Thee,
   Though Thou here wast
         crucified,
Yet the Father’s glory raised thee,
   Lord of all creation wide;
      “Thou art worthy”;
We shall live, for Thou hast died.

We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Cor. 5:1)

Green pastures are before me,
   Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o’er me,
   Where the dark clouds have been;
Ere yet another morning
   My spirit may be free,
As absent from the body,
   At home, O Lord, with Thee;
Oh sleep, oh rest, how precious!
   As guarded by Thy care,
I’m waiting for Thy promise
   To meet Thee in the air.

Out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. (2 Cor. 2:4)

Is your cruse of comfort failing?
Rise and share it with another,
And through all the years of famine
It shall serve you and your brother;
Love divine will fill your store-
house,
Or your handful still renew;
Scanty fare for one will often
Make a royal feast for two.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. (Isa. 61:10)

Holiness by faith in Jesus,
   Not by effort of thine own,
Sin’s dominion crushed and broken
   By the power of grace alone;
God’s own holiness within thee,
   His own beauty on thy brow,
This shall be thy pilgrim brightness,
   This thy blessed portion now.

Because of the savor of Thy good ointments Thy name is as ointment poured forth. (Song of Sol. 1:3)

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. (John 12:3)

Jesus! the name we love so well,
The name we love to hear!
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.

This name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads us up to God.

When they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them. (2 Chron. 15:4)

In the time of their trouble, when they cried unto Thee, Thou heardest them from heaven. (Neh. 9:27)

He emptied my hands of my treasured
      store,
   And His wonderful love revealed;
There was not a wound in my aching
      heart
   But the balm of His breath has healed;
Oh, tender and true was the chastening
      sore,
   In wisdom, that taught and tried,
Till the soul that He sought was trusting
      in Him,
   And nothing on earth beside.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. (Psa. 34:10)

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matt. 6:33)

Earth’s broken cisterns — ah! they all have
proved
Unsatisfying — vain — however loved;
The false will fail — the fondest, they must
go!
Oh thus it is with all we love below.

From things of earth then let my heart be
free,
And find its happiness, my Lord, in Thee;
Thou only, Lord, will be my guide and
guest;
Whate’er my lot, I must be safe and blest.

Gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst. (Neh. 9:15)

Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. (John 7:37)

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold I freely give
The living water — thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink and live”;
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul
revived,
And now I live in Him.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love him? (James 2:5)

Father, we own Thy sovereign
      claim
And bless Thy Son’s most
      precious name,
   Whom Thou for us hast given;
Who bore the curse to sinners
      due,
Quickened our ruined souls
      anew,
   And made us heirs of heaven.

   All we can do or say,

   Dost daily more display;
Let, for our happiness, O God,
   On us while here below,
By virtue of Christ’s death and blood,
   Thy richest blessings flow.

I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. (John 15:15)

How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand. (Psa. 139:17‑18)

To heart and soul how sweet Thou art,
   O great High Priest of God!
My heart brought nigh to God’s own
      heart
   By Thy most precious blood.

Thy love is told, so deep, so free,
Reveals the Father’s heart —
Not what I am, or I must be —
It tells me what Thou art.

Sir, we would see Jesus. (John 12:21)

Peace be unto you. And when He had so said, He showed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. (John 20:19‑20)

The light of love and glory
Has shone through Christ our
Savior,
The Crucified — who lived and died,
That we might live forever;
And since Thy great compassion
Thus brings Thy children near Thee,
May we to praise devote our days,
And keep forever near Thee.

But the loving Lord can heal;
The heart that was pierced on Calvary
Does still for His loved ones feel.

Lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed My sheep. (John 21:17)

Good Shepherd, over whom no foe

Grant me Thy love that wearieth not
   nor faileth;
Grant me to seek Thy wayward sheep
   that roam.

And in that light of life I’ll walk

Irradiate with God’s eternal light;
First tread as sinless saints the sinless
   land,
No shade nor stain upon our garments

There all is new, and never shall be old,
For time is not, nor age, nor slow decay;
No crying eyes, no hearts grown strange
   and cold,
All pain, all death, all sighing fled away!

Lord Jesus, all Thy members are;

Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
And worlds on worlds adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee.

All honor and blessing, our cries

And thanks never ceasing for
   infinite love.
