He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. (Heb. 11:6)
If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. (Mark 1:40‑41)
Just as I am — and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each
      spot:
   O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am — Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe:
   O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints. (Jude 14)
To you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. (2 Thess. 1:7)
Lo, He cometh! Lo, He cometh!
Not as once He came to earth —
Meek and gentle, poor and lowly,
Through the gates of human birth.
Now in majesty He cometh;
Cloudy splendors wrap Him round;
Wake, ye dead, and list, ye living —
Hark! His voice as trumpet sound.

The God of heaven, He will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build. (Neh. 2:20)
I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea. (Rom. 16:1)
We then, as workers together with Him. (2 Cor. 6:1)
Make Thy members every hour
For Thy blessed service meet;
Earnest tongues, and arms of
   power,
Skillful hands, and hastening feet,
Ever ready to fulfill
All Thy word and all Thy will.

Ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 20‑21)
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (1 John 5:21)
’Tis that look that melted Peter,
   ’Tis that face that Stephen saw,
’Tis that heart that wept with Mary
   Can alone from idols draw.
Draw and win and fill completely,
   Till the cup o’erflow the brim;
What have we to do with idols
   Who have companied with Him?

He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:19‑20)
As our Surety we behold Thee,
   Ransoming our souls from death;
As the willing victim view Thee,
   Yielding up to God Thy breath;
In this broken bread we own Thee,
   Bruised for us and put to shame;
And this cup, O Lord, we thank Thee,
   Speaks our pardon through Thy
      name.

Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection. (Heb. 11:33‑35)
Fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee. (1 Chron. 28:20)
Wherefore go gladly to the task assigned
   thee,
Having My promise, needing nothing more
Than just to know, where’er the future find
   thee,
In all thy journeying I go before.

It came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (1 Sam. 18:1)
David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake? (2 Sam. 9:1)
Ye are My friends. (John 15:14)
I thank Thee, dearest Lord, for friends,
When morning wakes, when daytime
      ends —
   And, as the shadows fall,
I know that I will raise my eyes
And see (ah, hope that never dies!)
   The dearest friend of all.

All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord endureth forever. (1 Peter 1:24‑25)
Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. (Psa. 86:15)
Man’s life is as the grass,
   Or like the morning flower;
If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field,
   It withers in an hour.
But Thy compassions, Lord,
   To endless years endure;
And all Thy people ever find
   Thy word of promise sure.

Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him. (Rev. 1:7)
I will pour upon the … inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem. And the land shall mourn, every family apart. (Zech. 12:10‑12)
Who is this that cometh?
Still His brow with thorns is scarred,
Wounded hands and wounded feet
And face with sorrow marred;
Those who saw no beauty there
Once mocked Him with their scorn;
Now at His appearing
All the tribes of earth shall mourn.

TEACH me, and I will hold my tongue. (Job 6:24)
I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will TEACH you what ye shall do. (Ex. 4:15)
TEACH them the good way wherein they should walk. (1 Kings 8:36)
Behold, God exalteth by His power: who TEACHETH like Him? (Job 36:22)
We do not see our Teacher’s face;
   We do not hear His voice,
And yet we know that He is near;
   We feel it and rejoice.
His loving teaching cannot fail;
   And we shall know at last
Each task that seemed so hard and strange,
   When learning time is past.

When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house … and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. (Dan. 6:10‑11)
When ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (1 Peter 2:20)
From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sweet retreat;
’Tis found before the mercy-seat.
Ah! whither could we flee for aid
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?

There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His roots. (Isa. 11:1)
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David. (Luke 1:32)
Came from Godhead’s fullest glory
Down to Calvary’s depth of woe;
Now on high, we bow before Thee;
Streams of praises ceaseless flow!
Sing His blest triumphant rising;
Sing Him on the Father’s throne;
Sing — till heaven and earth
   surprising —
Son of David reigns alone.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my tears. (Psa. 39:12)
Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? (Psa. 56:8)
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. (Psa. 126:5)
God counts the sorrows of His saints;
   Their groans affect His ears;
Thou hast a book for my complaints,
   A bottle for my tears.
When to Thy throne I raise my cry,
   The wicked fear and flee:
So swift is prayer to reach the sky;
   So near is God to me.

WIVES, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. (Col. 3:18)
HUSBANDS, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. (Col. 3:19)

FATHERS, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. (Col. 3:21)

Who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard His word? who hath marked His word, and heard it? (Jer. 23:18)
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors. For whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord. (Prov. 8:33‑35)
For His heart to hers had spoken,
   To His wandering lamb;
In the speech of love eternal,
   He had said, “I AM.”
Now she thirsts no more forever;
   All she would is given;
None on earth has she beside Him,
   None beside in heaven.

The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. (Isa. 65:19)
And oh, the joy of knowing,
   As the Lord’s redeemed can know —
There shall be no more sickness;
   There shall be no more pain;
There shall be no more parting,
   Loved from the loved again;
There shall be no more sorrow,
   For God shall dry all tears;
There shall be no more sinning,
   Through the eternal years!

We, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (Rom. 12:5)
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4:4‑6)
It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell. (Col. 1:19)
Oh depth of holy bliss,
Essential and divine!
What thought can measure this —
Thy joy, Thy glory — Thine!
Yet such our treasure evermore,
Thy fullness is Thy children’s store.

Solomon … arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant. (1 Kings 8:54‑56)
I know against this fortress wall
The gates of hell shall not prevail;
I know in whom I have believed
And that His word shall never fail;
I know that He is able still,
Is strong to save and strong to keep;
And all that I commit to Him
Is safe, though I may wake or sleep.

I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (Ezek. 34:23)
Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is My fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. (Zech. 13:7)
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. (John 10:11)
Our Shepherd is the Lord,
   The living Lord who died;
With all His fullness can afford
   We are supplied;
He richly feeds our souls
   With blessings from above,
And leads us where the river rolls
   Of endless love.

They cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (Psa. 107:28‑29)
O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea. (Psa. 65:5)
We cannot flounder on our course,
   Though He may seem to sleep;
We sail His path across the sea;
   His way is in the deep.
The thunder peal is but His voice;
   The wild winds cry His call;
He speaks and roaring waves are still;
   His word is over all.

Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of ONE ACCORD, of one mind. (Phil. 2:2)

   Our longing souls from Thee;
’Tis fit that where the Head resides,
   The members’ hearts should be.

The angel … lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by Him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer. (Rev. 10:5‑6)
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)
Have you any time for Jesus,
   As in grace He calls again?
Oh, today is time accepted;
   Later you may call in vain.
Room and time now give to Jesus;
   Soon will pass God’s day of grace;
Soon thy heart be cold and silent,
   And the Savior’s pleading cease.

The Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with Thee. And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and His name one. (Zech. 14:5,9)
The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. (Dan. 7:27)
Who is this that cometh?
   King of glory, King of kings;
Now to reign in righteousness
   His ransomed hosts He brings;
Earth’s remotest borders
   And the islands of the sea
Echo back the song they sing
   To Him who set them free.

The host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured. (Jer. 33:22)
Which by His strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves. (Psa. 65:6‑7)
What manner of man is this! for He commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey Him. (Luke 8:25)
He hollowed the cup for the oceans,
   And stilleth its storms at His will,
While the waves that sweep over its bosom
   Rise but His command to fulfill.
Yet more than these marvels transcendent
   This wonder of wonders I see —
That the God of such infinite greatness
   Should care for the sparrows — and me.

For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of Him: therefore also I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there. (1 Sam. 1:27‑28)
They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels. (Mal. 3:17)
And though she had a gentle part
   And cradled us with psalms,
Gladly she gave us back to Him
   Who placed us in her arms;
A Christian mother’s love contains
   A gospel all its own,
Because her Lord of love has found
   Her heart an ample throne.

Who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God? (2 Sam. 22:32)
Upon this rock I will build My church. (Matt. 16:18)
We are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Eph. 5:30,32)
Quickened with Him with life divine,
Raised with Him from the dead;
His own and all His own are Thine,
Shall with Him in His glories shine,
His church’s living Head!
We, who were worthy but to die,
Now with Him, “Abba, Father,” cry.

What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? (Isa. 36:4)
The Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. (Prov. 3:26)
In Thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee. (Psa. 143:8)
He holds the planets in His hands,
   And all the universe;
What power can alter His commands,
   Or change His holy course?
And they who trust in Him may rest
   In calm and sweet repose
Upon His promise sure and blest;
   He loves; He cares; He knows.

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. (Eph. 2:10)
That ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:24)
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. (2 Cor. 3:2)
The dear Lord’s best interpreters
   Are humble human souls;
The gospel of a life like His
   Is more than books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light goes out,
   The saintly fact survives;
The blessed Savior none can doubt,
   Revealed in holy lives.

Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. (Num. 21:8)
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:14,17)
As the serpent raised by Moses
   Healed the fiery serpent’s bite,
Jesus now Himself discloses
   To the wounded sinner’s sight;
Hear His gracious invitation —
   I have life and peace to give;
I have wrought out full salvation:
   Sinner, look to Me and live.

What is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For ye are our glory and joy. (1 Thess. 2:19‑20)
We beseech you, brethren … to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. (1 Thess. 4:1)
The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. (Prov. 4:18)
O Jesus, friend unfailing,
   How dear art Thou to me!
Are cares or fears assailing?
   I find my strength in Thee!
Why should my feet grow weary
   Of this my pilgrim way?
Rough though the path and dreary,
   It ends in perfect day!

They went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. (Ex. 15:22)
When they found Him [Jesus] not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking Him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found Him in the temple. (Luke 2:45‑46)
I will seek Him whom my soul loveth. (Song of Sol. 3:2)
Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing. (John 20:13‑14)
Thine arms, to whom I turn and cling
With thirsting soul that longs for Thee;
As rain that makes the pastures sing,
Art Thou, my God, to me.
