If Thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. (Luke 4:3)
When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (Matt. 27:54)
“Stricken, smitten and afflicted,”
   See Him dying on the tree!
’Tis the Christ by man rejected!
   Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
Mark the sacrifice appointed!
   See who bears the awful load!
’Tis the Word; ’tis God’s Anointed:
   Son of Man and Son of God.

The ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. (Matt. 14:24,27)
He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39)
There is many a storm on life’s pathway,
   Many a storm I see,
When black is the cloud and the wind is
      loud
   And the waves go over me;
But the Lord Himself in my ship abides
   And the storm obeys His will;
At the word He has said — “Be not
      afraid” —
   My heart and the sea grow still.

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land. (Deut. 1:8)
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. (Col. 1:12)
Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
All that Thou hast Thou hast for me;
All my fresh springs are hid in Thee;
In Thee I live while I confess
I nothing am, yet all possess.
O Savior, teach me to abide
Close sheltered at Thy wounded side,
Each hour receiving “grace on grace,”
Until I see Thee face to face.

With the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. (Rom. 10:10‑11)
Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: let such as love Thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified. (Psa. 40:16)
Oh happy day that fixed my choice
   On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice
   And tell its raptures all abroad.
’Tis done; the great transaction’s done;
   I am my Lord’s, and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
   Glad to confess the One divine.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For He that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. (Rom. 6:6‑8)
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4)
Lord Jesus! are we one with Thee?
   Oh height! Oh depth of love!
And crucified and dead with Thee,
   Now one in heaven above.
And soon shall come that glorious day,
   When, seated on Thy throne,
Thou shalt to wondering worlds display
   That we with Thee are one.

Wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? is it not in that Thou goest with us? (Ex. 33:16)
He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. (Ex. 33:14)
I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only. (Psa. 71:16)
For every tribulation,
   For every sore distress,
In Christ I’ve full salvation,
   Sure help and quiet rest;
No fears of foes prevailing!
   I triumph, Lord, in Thee!
O Jesus! Friend unfailing,
   How dear art Thou to me!

The Lord is the STRENGTH of my LIFE. (Psa. 27:1)
In the day when I cried Thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with STRENGTH in my SOUL. (Psa. 138:3)
Be of good courage, and He shall STRENGTHEN your HEART. (Psa. 31:24)
Jesus! before Thy face we fall,
Our Lord, our life, our hope, our all;
For we have nowhere else to flee;
No Sanctuary, Lord, but Thee.
How blest are we who still abide,
Close sheltered by Thy watchful side;
Who life and strength from Thee receive,
And with Thee move, and in Thee live.

Then did they spit in His FACE. (Matt. 26:67)
Some began to spit on Him, and to cover His FACE. (Mark 14:65)
When they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the FACE. (Luke 22:64)
But oh! the hope of being
Forever with the Lord,
The joyful hope of seeing
That FACE for us so marred!
It fills our heart with comfort;
It fills our lips with praise,
So that amid our sorrow
A joyful song we raise.

The Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth. (Jer. 1:9)
The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. (Prov. 18:4)
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. (Prov. 31:26)
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief. (Job 16:5)
He’s using me now — this moment —
Perhaps by a word in season,
Perhaps by a silent prayer;
In ways that I know and know not,
His labor of love I share.

They shall hear My words; for they are sweet. (Psa. 141:6)
Open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. (Ezek. 2:8)
O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. (Psa. 63:1)
I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring. (Isa. 44:3)
Oh, Christ! He is the fountain,
   The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I’ve tasted,
   More deep I’ll drink above!

By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested. (Rom. 3:20‑21)
By Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:39)
’Twas God who sent this Savior,
   This spotless Lamb, who died;
And trusting in His precious blood
   I’m freely justified;
Ah! not for me by deeds of law
   Salvation could be won:
Of grace alone, through righteousness,
   God saves me by His Son.

How ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thess. 1:9‑10)
My dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. (1 Cor. 10:14)
What has stripped the seeming beauty
   From the idols of the earth?
Not a sense of right or duty,
   But the sight of peerless worth.
Not the crushing of those idols,
   With its bitter void and smart,
But the beaming of His beauty,
   The unveiling of His heart!

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost. (John 17:12)
My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one. (John 10:29‑30)
Lord Jesus, ’tis our joy to think
Our life is so bound up with Thine,
That nothing can divide the link
Secured and fixed by love divine.
By faith we see Thee, Lord, enthroned
At God’s right hand of power on high;
And Thy redeemed ones, we’re owned
As one with Thee, in Thee brought nigh.

Now, my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thine eyes be open, and let Thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. And let Thy saints rejoice in goodness. (2 Chron. 6:40‑41)
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen Thou me according unto Thy word. (Psa. 119:28)
When He had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my Lord speak; for Thou hast strengthened me. (Dan. 10:19)
A little talk with Jesus —
   How it smooths the rugged road;
How it seems to help me onward,
   When I faint beneath my load:
When my heart is crushed with sorrow,
   And my eyes with tears are dim,
There is naught can yield me comfort
   Like a little talk with Him.

He WENT FORTH with His disciples over the brook Cedron. (John 18:1)
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, WENT FORTH. (John 18:4)
He bearing His cross WENT FORTH. (John 19:17)
Peter therefore WENT FORTH, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. (John 20:3)
Alone He bare the cross,
   Alone its grief sustained;
His was the shame and loss,
   And He the victory gained;
The mighty work was all His own,
Though we shall share His glorious
      throne.

Come and see the works of God: He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in Him. (Psa. 66:5‑6)
Thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors Thou threwest into the deeps. (Neh. 9:11)
They are God’s billows, whether He divides
   them,
Making us walk dry-shod where seas had
   flowed,
Or lets tumultuous breakers surge about us,
Rushing unchecked across our only road.
They are God’s billows, and He brings us
   through them;
So has He promised; so His love will do;
Keeping and leading, guiding and upholding,
To His sure harbor, He will bring us through.

He that hath My word, let him speak My word faithfully. (Jer. 23:28)
What saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. (Rom. 10:8)
They spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. (Acts 16:32)
Oh, may I love Thy precious Word;
   May I explore the mine;
May I its fragrant flowers glean;
   May light upon me shine.

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jer. 8:20)
Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:30)
We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved. (Acts 15:11)
Let both grow together until the harvest … but gather the wheat into My barn. (Matt. 13:30)
Just as I was He received me,
   Seeking from judgment to flee;
Now there is no condemnation;
   This is the Savior for me.
Soon shall the glory be dawning;
   Then when His face I shall see,
Sing, O my soul, in thy gladness:
   This is the Savior for me.

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and He is the governor among the nations. (Psa. 22:27‑28)
I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. (Isa. 45:23)
Glory! Glory! Glory!
   For He cometh to His throne!
All the kingdoms of the earth
   He taketh for His own;
All the crowns of all the kings
   He weareth on His brow;
Every tongue shall hail Him Lord
   And every knee shall bow.

That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days. (Deut. 30:20)
I found Him whom my soul loveth: I held Him, and would not let Him go. (Song of Sol. 3:4)
And though by storms assailed,
   And though by trials pressed,
Himself our life, He bears us up
   Right onward to the rest.
There we shall drink the stream
   Of endless bliss above:
There we shall know, without a cloud,
   His full, unbounded love.

Save me, O God, by Thy name, and judge me by Thy strength. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. (Psa. 54:1‑2)
O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart … for unto Thee have I revealed my cause. (Jer. 11:20)
O Thou who knowest all my
      thoughts,
   The hunger of my soul,
The blighted hopes of bygone years,
   The dreams of life’s lost goal;
O Thou whose love has never failed
   Though dark the night and long,
To Thee I turn my weary eyes
   And hope springs forth in song.

He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. (John 8:29)
Art Thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. (John 18:37)
His home made ours — His Father’s love
   Our heart’s full portion given,
The portion of the firstborn Son,
   The full delight of heaven.
Dwells in His bosom — knoweth all
   That in that bosom lies,
And came to earth to make it known,
   That we might share His joys.

She said, It shall be well. (2 Kings 4:23)
When Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. (2 Kings 4:32‑33,35‑36)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. (Psa. 23:4)
There is never a fear or sorrow,
   There is never a care or loss,
But that we may bring to Jesus
   And leave at the foot of the cross.

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matt. 6:20‑21)
Eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever. (Ezra 9:12)
My infinite treasure’s in heaven,
Where Jesus my Savior is gone;
His promise to me He has given;
I’ll see Him someday on the throne.
And then, in the regions of glory,
In His blessed likeness I’ll shine;
My children and I gather round Him,
This wonderful Savior divine!

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (Psa. 14:2‑3)
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course. (Jer. 8:6)
What hast Thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice. (John 18:35‑37)
“Come!” for angel hosts are musing
   O’er this sight so strangely sad:
God “beseeching” — man refusing
   To be made forever glad!

Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. (Gen. 5:24)
It came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 2:11)
That morn shall break as others break;
But ere the day its course has run,
Full many a watching, waiting soul
Shall know the waiting-time is done;
They see a sign no others see,
And hail the long-expected day;
They hear a voice no others hear —
“Haste, my beloved; come away.”

Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord. (Jonah 1:16)
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. (Mal. 3:16)
All things that God or man could want,
   In Jesus richly meet;
Not to our eyes is light so dear,
   No earthly tie so sweet.
Oh may His name still cheer our hearts
   And shed its fragrance there!
The sweetest balm of every wound,
   The cure of every care.

The root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. (Prov. 12:12)
A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth: and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. (Prov. 18:20)
I create the fruit of the lips. (Isa. 57:19)
O Lord, we know it matters not
   How sweet the song may be;
No heart but of the Spirit taught
   Makes melody to Thee.
Oh largely give, ’tis all Thine own,
   The Spirit’s goodly fruit:
Praise, issuing forth in life, alone
   Our living Lord can suit.

What is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe … which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. (Eph. 1:19‑20)
We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. (Heb. 8:1)
Behold the Lamb with glory crowned!
   To Him all power be given;
No place too high for Him is found,
   No place too high in heaven.
He fills the throne — the throne above,
   He fills it without wrong;
The object of His Father’s love,
   Theme of the ransomed’s song.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. (John 16:20)
In His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psa. 30:5)
There is never a heart so broken,
   But the loving Lord can heal;
The heart that was pierced on Calvary
   Does still for His loved ones feel.
There is never a life so darkened,
   So hopeless and unblessed,
But may be filled with the light of God
   And enter His promised rest.
