Thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Dan. 12:1)
There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. (Rev. 21:27)
’Twas grace that wrote each name
   In God’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave us to the Lamb,
   Who all our burdens took.
Grace saved us from the foe;
   Grace taught us how to pray;
And God will ne’er His grace forego,
   Till we have won the day.

Your little ones … them will I bring in, and they shall know the land. (Num. 14:31)
The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. (Zech. 8:5)
Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 19:14)
Around the throne of God in heaven
   Will many children sing;
Children whose sins are all forgiven
   Will heavenly anthems bring.
On earth they sought the Savior’s grace;
   On earth they loved His name;
So then they’ll see His blessed face,
   And praise before the Lamb.

Called to suffer with our Master,
   Patiently to run His race;
Called according to His purpose
   To the kingdom of His grace.

By Thee have I been holden up. …My praise shall be continually of Thee. I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise. (Psa. 71:6‑8)
I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude. (Psa. 109:30)
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my voice, and let it be
Always, only, used for Thee;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it. (Acts 2:22‑24)
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 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.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. (Psa. 56:3‑4)
That should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for His mercy endureth forever. (2 Chron. 20:21)
Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty. (1 Chron. 29:11)
He giveth me rest from fear,
   For on Him my mind is stayed;
He is the strength of my life;
   Of what shall I be afraid?
“Dread not! Faint not!” He has said,
   “For the battle belongs to Me;
Go forth with a song of praise,
   And My victory thou shalt see.”

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Col. 3:1‑2)
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. (Heb. 11:26)
Help us to confess Thy name,
Bear with joy Thy cross and shame;
Only seek to follow Thee,
Though reproach our portion be.
When we are to glory come,
And have reached our heavenly home,
Louder then each lip shall own,
We are Thine, and Thine alone.

Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. (1 Chron. 29:15)
Remember how short my time is. (Psa. 89:47)
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. (Psa. 90:12)
But Thou, O God, hast life that is eternal;
That life is mine, a gift through Thy dear
   Son;
Help me to feel its flush and pulse in all,
Assurance of the morn when life is done.
Help me to know the value of these hours;
Help me the folly of all waste to see;
Help me to trust the Christ who bore my
   sorrows,
And thus to yield for life or death to Thee.

My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished. (Isa. 51:6)
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev. 3:4,6)
Yet in Thy love such depths we see,
   Our souls o’erflow with praise —
Content ourselves, while, Lord, to Thee
   A joyful song we raise.
Blest Savior, keep our spirits stayed,
   Hard following after Thee,
Till we, in robes of white arrayed,
   Thy face in glory see.

Far as the east is from the west,
   Did all our guilt remove.

Before my infant heart conceived
   From whom those comforts flowed.
Through all eternity to Thee
   A joyful song I’ll raise;
But, oh! eternity’s too short
   To utter all Thy praise.

I chose David to be over My people. (1 Kings 8:16)
The promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that He hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second Psalm, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee.

Son of Man, His incarnation
   Opened first the tale of grace;
Son of Man, in new creation
   Leader of a chosen race!
      Well may glory
Crown Him, in the ordered place!

   His work, nor yet assign
Dark motives when with silent dread
   You view each somber fold,
For lo! within each darker thread
   There twines a thread of gold.

Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these My signs before him: and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord.

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest He that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. (Heb. 11:28)
When God’s judgment fell on Egypt,
   There was weeping everywhere,
For the angel smote the firstborn
   Of the people dwelling there;
But some houses God passed over,
   As His Word had said before,
And death entered not the dwellings
   Where the blood was on the door.

That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him. (John 5:23)
This name will bring us victory,
   Protection all our days;
If we learn but to value it
   And honor it with praise.
A name that makes the enemy
   Tremble and flee from us;
A name that sets the captive free
   If in that name he trusts.

I’m building for the years to be
That little chap who follows me.

Consumed upon Thine altar all my will;
Love, praise and peace, an evening
   sacrifice,
And in the Lord I rest, and I am still.

      By the glory
Christ was claimed on earth who died.

   He knows tomorrow’s needs;
So put your hand in His just now
   And follow where He leads.

And with each coming love Thee more.
Assembled, Lord, to hear Thy Word,
May Thy truth by each heart be heard;
Then, strengthened by Thy touch today,
May we more truly walk Thy way.

Where I may gaze upon His face,
   O Lamb of God, in Thee!

We spend our years as a tale that is told. (Psa. 90:9)
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, Thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. (Psa. 39:4‑5)
Rise, my soul, thy God directs thee;
   Stranger hands no more impede;
Pass thou on; His hand protects thee —
   Strength that has the captive freed.
When to Canaan’s long-loved dwelling
   Love divine thy foot shall bring,
There, with shouts of triumph swelling,
   Zion’s songs in rest to sing.

And He can make the humblest room
   A high and holy place.

Before the common mercy-seat.

With every heavenly grace be crowned;
May truth and goodness, joy and praise,
In all abide, in all abound.

I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne.

Shall fill yon courts through endless days,
   When time shall cease to be!
Round and around the notes shall swell,
As each redeemed one joins to tell
   Thy love, so vast and free.

When the hour strikes, will with a word
   Forever set you free.

   still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt
   below.
