The Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. (Ex. 14:21‑22)
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land. (Heb. 11:29)
“When Thou passest through the waters,”
   Deep the waves may be and cold,
But Jehovah is our refuge,
   And His promise is our hold;
For the Lord Himself has said it,
   He, the faithful God and true:
“When you come to the waters,
   You will not go down, but through.”

Let the Lord … set a man over the congregation … which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd. (Num. 27:16‑17)
I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. (Phil. 2:19‑20)
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
   A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief’s dark hour
   That proves a friend indeed;
Let nothing pass, for every hand
   Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love —
   Be firm and just and true.

The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. (Psa. 33:13‑14)
Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Isa. 57:15)
And, Jesus, when Thee face to face I see,
When on Thy lofty throne I sit with Thee,
Then of Thy love in all its breadth and
         length,
Its height and depth, its everlasting
         strength,
      My soul shall sing.

The Lord our God, He it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went. (Josh. 24:17)
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. (Ex. 23:20)
Father, Thy sovereign love has sought
Captives to sin, gone far from Thee;
The work that Thine own Son has
   wrought
Has brought us back in peace and free.
And now as sons before Thy face,
With joyful steps the path we tread,
Which leads us on to that blest place
Prepared for us by Christ our Head.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psa. 118:8)
The Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Deut. 31:6)
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.
And where I go, He will go,
And He knoweth the way I take;
He is with me unto the end,
And He will not fail nor forsake.

He stood, and measured the earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: His ways are everlasting. (Hab. 3:6)
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isa. 40:5)
Great Ruler of the earth and skies,
A word from Thine almighty voice
Can sink the world, or bid it rise;
Thy smile is life — bid all rejoice.
To Thee we pay our grateful songs;
Thy kind protection still implore;
Oh may our hearts and lives and
   tongues
Confess Thy goodness, and adore.

O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee? (Psa. 89:8)
Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. (Judg. 14:14)
Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Eph. 5:2)
There is a name we love to hear;
   We love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in our ear,
   The sweetest name on earth.
It tells us of a Savior’s love,
   Who died to set us free;
It tells us of His precious blood,
   The sinner’s perfect plea.

Because of His strength will I wait upon Thee: for God is my defense. (Psa. 59:9)
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. (Isa. 40:29)
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thine holy temple. (Jonah 2:7)
Oh, wonderful promises given
To those who wait on the Lord;
Strength for the faint who have fallen,
Power for weakness outpoured.
Blessed the threefold assurance
Thrilling the soul like a song:
They shall mount and soar as eagles
On wide wings, swift wings and strong.

We through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 15:4‑6)
I feel the touch of that healing,
   That boon and that gift of love,
When I read in the holy Scripture
   Of the mansions that shine above;
And my shoulders rise from their burden
   And my heart forgets its care,
For the dews of God are about me,
   And the sweet and pleasant air;
The words of the sweetest chapter,
   Ah, wonderful cure are they,
For the pain of the weary spirit
   And the cares that infest the day!

Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass. (Isa. 51:12)
I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him. (Luke 12:5)
Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:15)
Rest, my soul; the work is done,
Done by God’s almighty Son;
This to faith is now so clear,
There’s no place for torturing fear;
With belief in Jesus blest,
We are entering into rest.

Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Heb. 13:14)
The city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Rev. 21:18,23)
It is not for us to be seeking our bliss,
And building our hopes in a region like this:
We look for a city which hands have not
   piled —
We pant for a country by sin undefiled.
With a scrip on the back, and a staff in the
   hand,
We march on in haste through an enemy’s
   land;
The road may be rough, but it cannot be long,
And we’ll smooth it with hope, and we’ll
   cheer it with song.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. (1 John 3:21‑22)
If ye then … know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? (Matt. 7:11)
May the Savior’s love and merit
Fill our hearts both night and day,
And the unction of His Spirit
All our thoughts and actions sway.
May we thus, in God confiding,
And from self-dependence free,
Find our rest — in Christ abiding —
Till with joy Himself we see.

He came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. (Acts 12:12)
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. (2 Cor. 1:11)
Your guides and brethren bear
   Forever on your mind;
Extend the arms of mighty prayer,
   In grasping all mankind.
In fellowship alone,
   To God with faith draw near;
Approach His courts; besiege His throne
   With all the power of prayer.

God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM. (Ex. 3:14)
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I AM He. (Isa. 41:4)
Whom seek ye? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I AM He. (John 18:4‑5)
Ere God had built the mountains,
   Or raised the fruitful hills;
Before He filled the fountains
   That feed the running rills;
In Thee, from everlasting,
   The wonderful I AM
Found pleasures never wasting,
   And Wisdom is Thy name.

I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. (Jer. 18:3)
Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee. (Psa. 31:19)
I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. (Dan. 4:2)
Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Son of love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly find Him
   wholly true;
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace
   and rest.

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God … that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God. (Jer. 42:6)
He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths. (Mic. 4:2)
We sometimes wonder why our Lord does
   place us
Within a sphere so narrow, so obscure,
That nothing we call work can find an
   entrance;
There’s only room to suffer — to endure!
Then seek to please Him, whatsoe’er He
   bids you,
Whether to do, to suffer, to lie still!
’Twill matter little by what path He led us,
If in it all we sought to do His will.

Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Rev. 22:17)
Ho, you thirsty, Jesus calls you;
   Jesus came to give
Wine and milk of free salvation;
   Come to Him and live.

Sing forth the honor of His name: make His praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee; they shall sing to Thy name. Selah. (Psa. 66:2‑4)
Worthy of homage and of praise;
Worthy by all to be adored:
Exhaustless theme of heavenly lays!
Thou, Thou art worthy, Jesus, Lord.
Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends Thy Word;
And praise shall sound from shore to
   shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. (1 John 2:13)
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth. (2 John 1,4)
The life of God in me begun,
Filled with the Spirit of His Son,
And I now by His grace divine,
Untroubled trust and gladness mine.
While yet through desert wilds I
   roam,
I’m going to the eternal home;
Beholding now, with joyful eyes,
God walking in His paradise.

When they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto Thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak Thy word. (Acts 4:24,29)
Maker of earth and heaven,
   Whose arm upholds creation,
To Thee we raise the voice of praise,
   And bend in adoration;
We praise the power that made us;
   We praise the love that blesses;
While every day that rolls away
   Thy gracious care confesses.

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between His feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be. (Gen. 49:10)
Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of Thy kingdom is a right scepter. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. (Psa. 45:6‑7)
Hail to the Lord’s anointed!
   Great David’s greater Son:
When to the time appointed
   The rolling years shall run,
He comes to break oppression,
   To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
   And rule in equity.

He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. (Job 9:32‑33)
Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor! (Job 16:21)
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause. (Jer. 51:36)
God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us. (2 Cor. 7:6)
With Thee by faith I walk in crowds — alone,
Making to Thee my wants and wishes
   known:
Drawing from Thee my daily strength in
   prayer,
Finding Thine arm sustains me everywhere.

Judgment is before Him; therefore trust thou in Him. (Job 35:14)
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment. (Prov. 8:20)
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. (Prov. 2:8‑9)
With mercy and with judgment
   My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
   Were lustered with His love;
I’ll bless the hand that guided;
   I’ll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
   In Immanuel’s land.

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. (Luke 2:10)
If by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Rom. 5:17,19)
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!

“Who is this that cometh,”
   Clothed in splendor and in light,
Victor over sin and death
   And all the hordes of night?
Lo! the meek Messiah
   Who on Calvary was slain
Cometh now in judgment
   And in righteousness to reign.

Ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him. (Mark 11:2‑3)
Called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto Him. (John 11:28‑29)
His call we obey,
   Like Abram of old,
Not knowing our way,
   But faith makes us bold;
For though we are strangers,
   We have a sure guide,
And trust in all dangers
   The Lord will provide.

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brethren. (Acts 1:14)
They, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God. (Acts 2:46‑47)
With fellow-pilgrims meeting,
   As through the waste we roam,
’Tis sweet to sing together,
   “We are not far from home!”
And when we’ve learned our lesson,
   Our work, in suffering, done,
Our ever-loving Father
   Will welcome every one.

The Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread: and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. (1 Cor. 11:23‑25)
On that same night, Lord Jesus,
   When all around Thee joined
To cast its darkest shadow
   Across Thy holy mind,
We hear Thy voice, blest Savior,
   “This do; remember Me”;
With joyful hearts responding,
   We do remember Thee.

David arose … and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed forever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. (1 Sam. 20:41‑42)
The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. (Gen. 31:49)
God be with you till we meet again;
Neath His wings protecting hide you;
Daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? For precept must be upon precept … line upon line … here a little, and there a little. (Isa. 28:9‑10)
If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of Myself. (John 7:17)
If ye love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:15)
Lord, my soul with pleasure springs,
   When Jesus’ name I hear,
And when God the Spirit brings
   The word of promise near;
Beauties too, in holiness,
   Still delighted I perceive;
Nor have words that can express
   The joys Thy precepts give.

If a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? (1 Sam. 2:25)
Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered Him, Sir, I have no man. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (John 5:6‑8)
Jesus our Lord … was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. (Rom. 4:24‑25)
Misnamed a malefactor!
   No evil did He do;
He was a benefactor!
   And died for me and you;
In grace to bring us blessing,
   He took our load of guilt:
Met God, our sins confessing;
   For us, His blood was spilt.
