| 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? |
