You, being dead in your sins … hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross. (Col. 2:13‑14)
The law is not of faith. (Gal. 3:12)
God could not pass the sinner by;
His sin demands that he must die;
But in the cross of Christ we see
How God can save, yet righteous be;
The sin alights on Jesus’ head;
’Tis in His blood sin’s debt is paid.

Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Prov. 27:1)
Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. (Heb. 3:15)
God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 5:9)
Oh! sinner, pause, ere yet “too late”;
   Now is the day of grace;
Now Jesus calls, oh! do obey
   His pleading, loving voice.
Today, ’tis free to all who come,
   And take Him at His word;
Tomorrow’s sun may rise “too late”
   For you who now have heard.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. (Phil. 3:8)
The Lord is able to give thee much more than this. (2 Chron. 25:9)
What is loss in this world when compared
   to that day,
To the glory that then shall from heaven be
   revealed?
“The Savior is coming,” His people may
   say;
“The Lord whom we look for, our sun and
   our shield.”
What a day will that be when the Savior
   appears!
How welcome to those who have shared in
   His cross!
A crown incorruptible then will be theirs,
A rich compensation for suffering and loss.

Beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ. (2 Cor. 10:1)
He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (2 Cor. 10:17)
And, oh! ’tis joy the path to trace
   By Thee so meekly trod;
Learning of Thee to walk in
      grace,
   And fellowship with God!
Joy to confess Thy blessed name,
   The virtue of Thy blood,
And to the wearied heart
      proclaim,
   Behold the Lamb of God!

I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. (Psa. 66:17)
Verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me. (Psa. 66:19‑20)
Thy mercy, O God, is the theme of
   my song,
The joy of my heart, and the boast of
   my tongue;
’Tis free grace alone, from the first to
   the last,
That wins the affections, and binds
   the soul fast.

Now have I seen with joy Thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto Thee. (1 Chron. 29:17)
By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15)
Give thanks aloud to God;
To God your praises bring;
To God upon His throne
His works and glories sing;
His power and grace are still the
   same;
Let endless praise exalt His name.

Ye have seen … how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself. (Ex. 19:4)
Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9)
I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. (Jer. 31:25)
Bear us on eagles’ wings,
   Lord, lest we faint;
Far, far from groveling things,
   Purge from their taint.
Keep us from weariness,
   Our lives to fill;
Thy love replenishes
   Sorrowing souls.

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck. (1 Tim. 1:19)
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Gal. 6:1)
Give me the love that will not fail,
The hope that no rebuff can quail,
Thine insight — penetrating, clear —
Thy tender touch, direct, sincere.
Oh let me dwell so deep in Thee,
So close to powers of Calvary,
That I shall never block the way
When streameth forth Thy healing ray.

When Jesus heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Matt. 9:12‑13)
Unto a dying, sin-cursed world
   New life that day He gave,
And saving others on the tree,
   Himself He could not save;
He yielded up His life, but lo,
   Death could not hold Him prey;
He burst apart its cruel bands,
   And rose to reign for aye;
The Lord of life and light, He rose,
   Eternal life to give
To all who by dark Calvary’s way
   Will come to Him and live.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18)
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Rev. 3:11)
And soon the months will roll away,
And quickly come the nuptial day,
When Thou, the Lamb, shalt take
   Thy throne,
And fully there Thy church shalt
   own.
The gladness of that happy day,
In this sad world’s our strength and
   stay;
Then let not faith forsake its hold,
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.

I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. … Yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. (Isa. 46:9‑11)
God moves in a mysterious way,
   His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
   And rides upon the storm.
His purposes will ripen fast,
   Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
   But sweet will be the flower.

Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications. (Psa. 28:6)
The Lord is their strength, and He is the saving strength of His anointed. (Psa. 28:8)
Lead me through this world of
   sorrow
To the land of fadeless day;
Give me strength for each
   tomorrow
As I journey on my way;
Be my helper, Lord, I pray Thee;
Ever be my strength and stay.

Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. (Matt. 27:50‑51)
He looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Ex. 3:2)
See the sun at noonday hidden;
   See the rocks and mountains shake;
See the Man midst darkness smitten!
   Why did God His Son forsake?
Precious soul, behold thy Savior
   Seated on the Father’s throne;
Object of God’s highest favor,
   See Him, God’s beloved Son!

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. (Jer. 17:12)
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb. 4:16)
When storms of life are round me
   beating,
When rough the path that I have trod,
Within my closet doors retreating,
I love to be alone with God.
’Tis there I find new strength for duty,
As o’er the sands of time I plod;
I see the Lord in all His beauty,
While resting there alone with God.

Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:4)
Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness. (2 Peter 1:5‑6)
For faith is linked with patience, and
   Our times are in His hand;
So may we wait and trust, although
   We may not understand.
Would give our hearts such peace and
      joy
   To patiently repose
In His great love and care for us,
   For He our pathway knows.

When once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah. (1 Peter 3:20)
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
The Lord’s not slack concerning His
   promise;
His long-suffering ever is towards
   us —
As we course our headstrong way,
To repentance He would sway —
“Perish not,” His whisper’s tender;
“Let me save you now and ever.”

I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. (1 Thess. 4:13‑14)
The resurrection morn will break,
And every sleeping saint awake,
   Brought forth in light again;
Oh morn, too bright for mortal eyes!
When all the ransomed church shall
      rise
And wing their way to yonder
      skies —
   Called up with Christ to reign.

The workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it. (2 Chron. 24:13)
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:17)
Oh, I would be a channel, Lord,
   Where living waters flow,
For on the banks of such a stream
   The sweetest flowers grow;
I’m least of those who love Thee,
      Lord,
   Yet used, I long to be;
Then break my selfish will and let
   Thy blessing flow through me.

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. Therefore will I give thanks unto Thee, O Lord … and sing praises unto Thy name. (Psa. 18:46,49)
The Savior lives, no more to die;
He lives, our head, enthroned on
   high;
He lives triumphant o’er the grave;
He lives eternally to save.
Then let our souls in Him rejoice,
And sing His praise with cheerful
   voice:
Our doubts and fears forever gone,
For Christ is on the Father’s throne.

He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered His words. (Luke 24:6‑8)
We love to look within the tomb,
Thy death has robbed of all its gloom;
The stone forever rolled away;
Thy death the power of death did slay.
We joy to see Thee, Lord, arise
Triumphant through the opening
   skies;
And hear all heaven united own
Thee worthy to ascend the throne.

Neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a sanctuary. (Isa. 8:12‑14)
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.

He sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. (Gen. 45:24)
Brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. (Acts 20:32)
But oh, we press beyond, above
   These gifts of pure delight,
And find in Thee and in Thy love
   Contentment infinite;
O Lord beloved, in whom are found
   All joys of time or place,
What will it be when joy is crowned
   By vision of Thy face?

To give knowledge of salvation unto His people by remission of their sins. (Luke 1:77)
Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:46‑47)
In the Lord we have redemption,
Full remission in His blood;
From the curse entire exemption,
From the curse pronounced by God:
What a Savior Jesus is!
Oh what grace, what love is His!

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for His mercy endureth forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. (Jer. 33:11)
The Lord Himself, e’en Jesus,
   Amid the ransomed throng,
Its glory, joy and beauty,
   Its never ending song;
Oh day of wondrous promise!
   The Bridegroom and the bride
Are seen in glory ever:
   Forever satisfied.

To them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. (Jude 1‑2)
When once Thou visitest the
      heart,
   Then truth begins to shine;
Then earthly vanities depart;
   Then kindles love divine.
May our tongues forever bless
      Thee;
   May we love Thee alone;
And ever in our lives express
   The image of Thine own.

Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. (Gen. 21:33)
Thou, O Lord, art our Father, our Redeemer; Thy name is from everlasting. We are Thine. (Isa. 63:16,19)
Thine, Jesus, Thine;
   No more this heart of mine
Shall seek its joy apart from Thee;
The world is crucified to me,
   And I am Thine.
Thine — ever Thine,
   Forever to recline
On love eternal, fixed and sure —
Yes, I am Thine forevermore —
   Lord Jesus, Thine.

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this He did once, when He offered up Himself. (Heb. 7:22,27)
Not all the blood of beasts,
   On Jewish alters slain,
Could give the guilty conscience
      peace
   Or wash away its stain.
But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
   Took all our guilt away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
   And richer blood than they.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Cor. 1:3‑4)
When He leads through some valley of
      trouble,
   His omnipotent hand we trace;
For the trials and sorrows He sends us
   Are part of His lessons in grace.
When our brother is suffering in trial,
   We give him the peace from above;
’Tis the knowledge of God’s arm around
      us
   That gives us the power to love.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:13)
If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1)
But Thy pure eyes do read me
      through;
   My soul is naked unto Thee;
And yet — oh wonder ever new —
   Thou, my Lord, lovest me.
And so, O Lord, I come to Thee,
   Confess my faults — name them all,
Well knowing Thou shalt gracious be,
   Thou lover of my soul.

The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings. (Prov. 5:21)
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3)
God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Eccl. 12:14)
We fly not now
From that all-seeing eye,
Which once we shunned,
To hide ourselves in night;
The blood that purged
Our sins has brought us nigh,
To dwell in God’s
Own love, and walk in light.
