Above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a Man above upon it. (Ezek. 1:26)
Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. (Rev. 4:1‑2)
Jesus Christ: who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God. (1 Peter 3:21‑22)
Behold Him now, exalted high,
   Upon the throne He took His seat;
Oh, wondrous grace, that we brought nigh
   And in Him seated are complete.

Ye My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 34:31)
He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (John 10:2‑3)
No more a wandering sheep,
   I love to be controlled;
I love my tender Shepherd’s voice;
   I love the peaceful fold:
No more a wayward child,
   I seek no more to roam;
I love my heavenly Father’s voice:
   I love, I love His home.

Trust in the Lord. (Psa. 37:3)
Delight thyself also in the Lord. (Psa. 37:4)
Commit thy way unto the Lord. (Psa. 37.5)
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. (Psa. 37:7)

And every day upon the Savior call;

That He is all He promised He would be.
So wait upon the Lord; be not afraid,
For He Himself will be your strength and
   aid;
Just rest in Him, your never-failing Friend,
And peace and joy will all your way attend.

Thy wrath lieth hard upon Me, and Thou hast afflicted Me with all Thy waves. Selah. (Psa. 88:7)
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. (Jonah 2:5)
God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. (Rom. 8:3)
Then that closing scene of anguish;
   All God’s waves and billows roll
Over Him, there left to languish
   On the cross to save my soul;
Matchless love! how vast, how free:
Jesus gave Himself for me.

The Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over. (Josh. 4:23)
Art Thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? (Isa. 51:10)
And His hand will lead you through —
      clear through —
   Ere the watery walls roll down;
No foe can reach you, no wave can touch,
   No mightiest sea can drown;
The tossing billows may rear their crests,
   Their foam at your feet may break,
But over their bed you shall walk dry-shod
   In the path that your Lord will make.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9‑10)
This people have I formed for Myself; they shall show forth My praise. (Isa. 43:21)
Marvel not that Christ in glory
   All my inmost heart has won;
Not a star to cheer my darkness,
   But a light beyond the sun.
From the lowest depths of darkness
   To His city’s radiant height,
Thus in me He told the measure
   Of His love and His delight.

The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. (Titus 2:11)
Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:11)
Whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. (Acts 13:26)
Decide for Christ today,
   And God’s salvation see;
Yield soul and body, heart and will
   To Him, who died for thee!
Decide for Christ today;
   Confess Him as your Lord;
Proclaim to all the Savior’s worth,
   How faithful is His Word.

The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (2 Tim. 4:18)
His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Rev. 19:13‑14)
Thus far by grace preserved,
   Each moment speeds us on;
The crown and kingdom are reserved
   Where Christ is gone;
When cloudless morning shines,
   We shall His glory share;
In pleasant places are the lines;
   The home how fair!

That no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Cor. 1:29‑31)
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Cor. 2:5)
When all beside it shall be hewn away,
   That glorious shape shall stand,
In beauty of the everlasting day,
   Of the unsullied land.
Thus is it with the lowly life around,
   There hidden, Christ abides;
Still by the single eye forever found
   That seeketh none besides.

Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people. (Isa. 51:22)
Their Redeemer is strong; The LORD of hosts is His name; He shall thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest. (Jer. 50:34)
For there He clasps me by the hand,
And there I see Him face to face;
I tell Him all my vexing cares;
He whispers of sufficient grace.
The turmoil of the daily life,
The burdens of the mind and heart,
Cannot dismay, must not distract
My soul from meeting God apart!

He bought fine linen, and took Him [Jesus] down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where He was laid. (Mark 15:46‑47)
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto Him, Rabboni. (John 20:10‑11,16)
Thy life is now beyond the grave;
   Our souls Thou hast set free;
Life, strength and grace in Thee we have,
   For we are one with Thee.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. (Psa. 60:11)
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. (Psa. 147:10)
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Heb. 13:6)
To Thee, O Lord, I go for help,
   For vain the help of man;
Only to Thee my needs do tell —
   My life is in Thy hand.
In Thee, most holy, just and true,
I have reposed my trust;
Nor will I fear what man can do,
The offspring of the dust.

The earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (Mark 4:28)
His mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year. (1 Sam. 2:19)
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. (1 Peter 2:2)
If I should live a thousand years
   And search it every day,
The precious Word of God would still
   Shed light upon my way.
Exhaustless store of treasured gems
   Within this Book I hold;
And as I read, it comes alive,
   New treasures to unfold.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. (Heb. 11:7)
With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee. (Isa. 54:8‑9)
Another judgment day will come,
   As sure as came the flood,
And only those will be secure
   Who shelter neath Christ’s blood.

Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy strength unto Thy holy habitation. (Ex. 15:13)
Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee. (Psa. 73:25)
Guide us, O Thou gracious Savior,
Pilgrims through this barren land;
We are weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold us with Thy powerful hand.
Savior, come; we long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above,
And to know in full communion
All the sweetness of Thy love.

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength and wisdom. (Job 36:5)
In Thine hand is power and might; and in Thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. (1 Chron. 29:12)
A mighty fortress is our God,
   A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
   Of mortal ills prevailing.
Did we in our own strength confide,
   Our striving would be losing —
Were not the right Man on our side,
   The Man of God’s own choosing.

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:23‑24)
Every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Luke 11:10)
“Ask in My name; ye shall receive”:
   There is comfort from all care,
If believing you will seek
   In hours of earnest prayer.
And now the way seems brighter;
   With Him my joys I share;
And sweet communion have we two,
   Because of earnest prayer.

Whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Rom. 8:29)
He is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. (Col. 1:18)

   Thy travail all is o’er;
For sin Thou once hast suffered —
   Thou livest to die no more;
Sin, death and hell are vanquished
   By Thee, the church’s Head;
And lo! we share Thy triumphs,
   Thou Firstborn from the dead.

Because I trusted in the blood
   Poured out on Calvary,
In Him my future is secure
   For all eternity.

Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor. 10:32‑33)
He put within my heart a song;
   He filled me with His love;
He taught me to love all mankind,
   As gentle as a dove;
To love unconditionally,
   Regardless of the cost;
With faith that never doubts at all,
   Expect to win the lost.

Nor can we rest till they are gathered in;
Oh save them lest they wander carelessly;
Save them and keep them from the power of
   sin.
Grant they may hear Thy love’s persuasive
   call,
Good Shepherd, who for our dear children died;
We seek them with Thee, till Thou find them
   all,
And Thy long travail has been satisfied.

Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (Rev. 12:10)
What though the accuser roar
   Of ills that I have done!
I know them well, and thousands more:
   Jehovah findeth none.
I meet them face to face,
   Through Jesus’ conquest blest;
March in the triumph of His grace
   Right onward to my rest.

His grace is sufficient;
   We walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength
   That He giveth His own.

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

To Thy dear name alone we cling;
   To Thy sure word we bow.

The mention of Thy name shall bow
   Our hearts to worship Thee;
The chiefest of ten thousand Thou,
   Whose love has set us free.

His promises thy stepping-stones shall be.

And cause that mighty Word to shake
The very fabric of the soul
Till all its proud defenses break;
Then, Lord, renew and make them
   whole.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: but, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. (2 Tim. 4:19)
Oh happy house! and happy servitude!
   Where all alike one Master own,
Where daily duty, in Thy strength pursued,
   Is never hard nor toilsome known;
Where each one serves Thee, meek and lowly,
   Whatever Thine appointment be,
Till common tasks seem great and holy,
   When they are done as unto Thee.

For Thou hast to our souls revealed
Thyself our strength and tower.
