Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out. (Prov. 26:20)
Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. (Song of Sol. 8:6)
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another. (Rom. 12:10)
Bonded together, blessed Lord, are we;
This is Thy doing, and we worship Thee;
And heeding not man’s fitful smile or
   frown,
Come well, come ill, we’re gladly all
   Thine own.
Maintain among us honor crystal clear,
And perfect love that casteth out all fear,
And loyalty that breaks not under stress,
And gentle virtues of unselfishness.

Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting. (1 Tim. 1:16)
He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him. (Heb. 7:25)
O God, through Christ the living way,
   My Father and my God,
So near, and I so far astray,
   Brought nigh Thee by His blood.
Thou bringest love and gladness forth
   From Thine exhaustless store,
To me, deserving but Thy wrath,
   The life forevermore.

He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. (Rev. 21:6‑7)
Let all who know the joyful sound,
With gladness send the tidings
   round,
Whoever thirsts may come:
Water of life is freely given
Till Christ the Lord descends from
   heaven;
To dwell with Him above.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father. (1 Thess. 1:2‑3)
Hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. (Rev. 2:3)
Help us lovingly to labor,
Looking for Thy present smile,
Looking for Thy promised blessing,
Through the brightening “little while”;
Words for Thee in weakness spoken,
Thou wilt here accept and own,
And confess them in Thy glory,
When we see Thee on Thy throne.

O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt Thou recover me, and make me to live. (Isa. 38:16)
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard: which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. (Psa. 66:8‑9)
Praise the Lord! He died to save us!
’Tis by Him alone we live;
And in Him the Father gave us
All that boundless love could give:
         Life eternal
In the Savior we receive.

There shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles trust. (Rom. 15:12)
Having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself. (Col. 1:20)
A mind at “perfect peace” with God:
   Oh, what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled through blood:
   This, this indeed is peace!
By nature and by practice far,
   How very far from God!
Yet now by grace brought nigh to
      Him,
   Through faith in Jesus’ blood.

I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm. (Joel 2:25)
Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. (Psa. 147:5)
Oh, the blessedness of coming,
   Kneeling there beside the cross!
Life and joy and peace He gives us,
   Recompense for every loss;
And when storms of sorrow gather
   And we look in vain for rest,
We can hear His voice entreating,
   “Come up higher, to My breast.”

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. (Rom. 6:1‑2)
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. (Rom. 6:12)
To glorify my God — no lesser aim
My God-given life and power shall
   henceforth claim;
My spirit, soul and body, Lord, are
   Thine;
The joy to give them back to Thee be
   mine.
So let my soul be flooded with Thy light;
So let my heart be opened to Thy sight;
So glorify Thyself, O Lord, in me,
Till all my being answers, Lord, to Thee.

I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no Savior. (Isa. 43:11)
A Savior, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. (Luke 15:10)
Christ the Savior of sinners came
   Into the world to save;
Sing His glory, His worth, His
      fame,
   Jesus alone can save;
No name else is given,
Search through earth and heaven —
   Jesus alone, Jesus alone,
   Jesus alone can save.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. (Psa. 57:7‑8)
When they were awake, they saw His glory. (Luke 9:32)
We woke — but oh for speech of that fair
      land
   Wherein the soul awaketh, to declare
The wonders that no heart can
      understand,
   That has not entered there.
For there the light that is not sun nor
      moon,
   That glows as morning, and as eve is
      sweet,
And has the glory of eternal noon,
   Does guide the joyful feet.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Heb. 11:8)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5‑6)
I do not know what next may come
   Across my pilgrim way;
I do not know tomorrow’s road,
   Nor see beyond today;
But this I know — my Savior knows
   The path I cannot see;
And I can trust His wounded hand
   To guide and care for me.

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children. (Lam. 2:19)
Therefore hearken unto Me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep My ways. (Prov. 8:32)
He knows not all that is before;
He little dreams of hidden snares;
He holds my hand, and o’er and o’er
I find myself beset with fears.
Father, as this child looks to me
For guidance and my help implores,
I bring him now in prayer to Thee;
I trust Thy strength for what’s in store.

The children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who had delivered them. (Judg. 8:34)
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him. (Gen. 40:23)
This do ye … in remembrance of Me. (1 Cor. 11:25)
Lord Jesus! we remember
   The travail of Thy soul,
When, through Thy love’s deep pity,
   The waves did o’er Thee roll;
Baptized in death’s dark waters,
   For us Thy blood was shed;
For us Thou (Lord of glory)
   Wast numbered with the dead.

A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. (Prov. 24:16)
The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. (Psa. 145:14,18)
He goes before you, O my heart!
Through deepest depth, o’er highest
   height;
He knows where lurks the ambushed
   foe
And what the battles you must fight;
He sees the pitfalls you will meet,
The place where you will faint or fall;
The weariness, the pain, the tears —
He goes before, He knows it all.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Eph. 6:11)
Let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. (1 Thess. 5:8)
Christian, walk carefully: danger is near;
On in your journey with trembling and
   fear;
Snares from without and temptations
   within,
Seek to entice you once more into sin.
Christian, walk prayerfully; oft will you
   fall
If you forget on your Savior to call;
Safe you will walk through each trial and
   care,
If you are clad in the armor of prayer.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt. 7:13‑14)
A thousand paths in ruin end;
One alone leads to joys on high;
By that my willing steps ascend,
For in this all my hopes rely.
The joy that fades is not for me;
I seek immortal joys above;
There, glory without end, shall be
The bright reward of faith and love.

I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me. (Song of Sol. 5:2)
Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. (Jer. 31:26)
Our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. (1 Thess. 5:9‑10)
A little while — oh, comfort one another,
   All ye who mourn, with this,
The promise of His presence and His
      likeness
   In everlasting bliss;
A little while and He who rose triumphant
   Shall call His dead to rise,
And we who live and those whom death
      has taken
   Shall meet Him in the skies.

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me. (Matt. 25:40)
Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. (Mark 9:41)
Oh lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
Oh feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
Oh use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and
   where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek Thee early. (Isa. 26:9)
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart. (Psa. 77:6)
God my maker, who giveth songs in the night. (Job 35:10)
That love is the love that bears me
   O’er starless deeps;
That never through long night watches
   Slumbers nor sleeps.
That filleth the lonely chambers
   With psalm and song,
And along my journey guards me,
   All, all along.

All thrones and powers and names above,
   At God’s right hand in heaven:
Wisdom and riches, power divine,
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine —
   All things to Thee are given.

The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (1 Sam. 2:6)
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21)
The vine, nor fig tree neither,
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should
   wither,
Nor flocks, nor herds, be there:
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For, while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.

In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!

He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
Every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life. (John 6:40)
Not to condemn the world
   The “Man of Sorrows” came,
But that the world might have
   Salvation through His name:
For whosoever will believe
Shall everlasting life receive.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new name. (Rev. 3:12)
I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev. 21:2)

   Before Thy Father’s face;
And in the new Jerusalem
   Give us our blood-bought place.

On Thy written promise staying
All my hope in life and death —
And my soul needs nothing

Than Thy love’s exhaustless
   store.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips: when I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches. Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice. (Psa. 63:5‑7)
There the lonely heart His sweetness
   learneth,
Sheltered there beneath the shadowing
   wings —
In the depths of hidden rest encom-
   passed
By the tender gleams of heavenly things;
Who amid the world’s sad mirth can
   tell,
What it is apart in God to dwell?

I have seen … princes walking as servants upon the earth. (Eccl. 10:7)

He shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. (Luke 12:37)
O blessed Savior, is Thy love
   So great, so full, so free?
Fain would we have our thoughts, our
      hearts,
   Our lives engaged with Thee.
Though in the very form of God,
   With heavenly glory crowned,
Thou didst a servant’s form assume,
   Beset with sorrow round.

He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. (Luke 1:49)
Along the rims of outer space
   God moves as here on earth;
His love creates, His hand provides
   Each thing of noble worth.
No heart too small, no world too wide
   To feel the Master’s touch;
Dear Lord of all, we give Thee thanks,
   For Thou hast sent so much.

Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (1 Tim. 4:4‑5)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor. 10:31)
Some may think my lot is common,
   Mine a life of toil and pain;
If so be their eyes are “holden” —
   For I’m counting all things gain;
I’ve a heart to sing God’s praises
   For the best life does afford;
Words are small and inexpressive,
   But for all, I thank Thee, Lord.

You may not see tomorrow;

Children whose sins are all forgiven
   Will heavenly anthems bring.
