| I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee. (Psa. 144:9) |
| O Thou whose voice the dead can raise, And soften hearts of stone, And teach the dumb to sing Thy praise, This work is all Thine own! |
| Grace bid me live and taught my tongue To aim at notes divine; And grace accepts my feeble song; The glory, Lord, be Thine! |
 |
| Being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Phil. 2:8) |
| Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. (Gal. 3:13) |
| Lord of life! to death once subject; Blesser, yet a curse once made; Of Thy Father’s heart the object, Yet in depths of anguish laid: Thee we gaze on, Thee recall — Bearing here our sorrows all. |
 |

| When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. (Prov. 3:24) |

 |
| I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (1 Cor. 1:10) |
| Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (Phil. 2:3) |
| The mind that is in Christ Will guide us into truth, The humble, open, joyful mind Of ever-learning youth; The heart that is in Christ Will lead us out of strife, The giving and forgiving heart That follows love in life. |
 |
| Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. (John 6:47) |
| There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 8:1) |
| Oh what a Savior that He died for me! From condemnation He has made me free; “He that believeth on the Son,” says He, “Has everlasting life.” |
| All my iniquities on Him were laid; All my indebtedness by Him was paid; All who believe on Him, the Lord has said, “Have everlasting life.” |
 |
| To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col. 1:27) |
| If we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (Rom. 8:25) |
| A lamp in the night, a song in time of sorrow; A great, glad hope which faith can ever borrow To gild the passing day with the glory of the morrow, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord! |
| A word from One to all our hearts the dearest, A parting word to make Him aye the nearest, Of all His precious words, the sweetest, brightest, clearest, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord! |
 |
| Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35) |

| And could we yet make some reserve And duty did not call, We love Thee, Lord, with such a love That we would give Thee all. |
|
| Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? (Job 27:9) |
| I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice. (Psa. 55:17) |
| O Thou who seest all my grief, The anguish of my heart, The disappointments, trials and cares That make the teardrops start; The aching void, the loneliness, And all the thornclad way, To Thee I turn with faith undimmed And mid the darkness pray. |
|
| I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me. (John 6:38) |

| The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. (John 19:7) |
| When we survey the wondrous cross On which the Lord of glory died, Our richest gain we count but loss, And pour contempt on all our pride. |
| There from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flowed mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? |
|
| The Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee. (Gen. 26:24) |
| Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: for I am with thee. (Acts 18:9‑10) |
| He knoweth what lies in the darkness, While the light dwelleth ever with Him; And the Father in whom is no darkness Will make clear what now is so dim; For the treasures that lie in the darkness, And the riches that now are concealed By the One who does hold all the secrets Will someday by Him be revealed. |
|
| This is My COMMANDMENT, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. (John 15:12) |
| This is His COMMANDMENT, that we should … love one another. (1 John 3:23) |
| The end of the COMMANDMENT is charity [love] out of a pure heart. (1 Tim. 1:5) |
| If there be any other COMMANDMENT, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Rom. 13:9) |
| This is the COMMANDMENT, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. (2 John 6) |
|
| Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. (Eccl. 12:1) |
| Those that seek Me early shall find Me. (Prov. 8:17) |
| Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died On Calvary. |
| By God’s Word at last my sin I learned; Then I trembled at the truth I’d spurned, Till my guilty soul imploring turned To Calvary. |
|
| Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. (1 John 3:2) |
| As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1 Cor. 15:49) |
| We shall see Him as He is — Let this hope in us undying, Keep us pure as He is pure, All the wiles of sin defying. |

|
| Every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God. (Heb. 10:11‑12) |
| Such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Heb. 7:26) |
| With joy we meditate the grace Of God’s high priest above; His heart is filled with tenderness; His very name is love. |
| But spotless, undefiled and pure, The great Redeemer stood, While Satan’s fiery darts He bore, And did resist to blood. |
|
| Where is the way where light dwelleth? (Job 38:19) |
| Moreover Thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. (Neh. 9:12) |

| The way is dark, My child, but leads to light: I would not always have you walk by sight; My dealings now you cannot understand; I meant it so, but I will take your hand. |
|
| Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. (Prov. 15:17) |
| Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (Rom. 12:9) |
| Oh love divine and tender, That through our homes does move, Veiled in the softened splendor Of holy household love, A throne without Thy blessing Were labor without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness are blest. |
|
| As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. (John 1:12) |
| Which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. (Rom. 3:22) |
| We speak of the Savior’s blest name, By which God can sinners receive; Yet still are you lost and undone, Unless in that name you will believe. |
| We speak of the glory to come, Of the heaven so bright and so fair; But unless you in Jesus believe, You will not, you cannot be there. |
|
| Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Peter 3:3‑4) |
| Give us the truth of the thought of Thy coming, While the world questions and doubts and denies; How has it scoffed at the words of Thy warning! How has it welcomed the old serpent lies! “Where is your God now?” it asks in derision; “All things continue as all things have been; Where is His promise? For long has He tarried”; Thou who art truth, let Thy truth now be seen. |
|

| Many an effort it may cost us, Many a heartbeat, many a fear, But Thou knowest, and wilt strengthen, And Thy help is always near; Give us grace to follow fully, Vanquishing our faithless shame, Feebly it may be, but truly, Witnessing for Thy dear name. |
|
| Pray now unto the Lord our God for us. (Jer. 37:3) |
| Finally, brethren, pray for us. (2 Thess. 3:1) |
| I will pray for you unto the Lord. (1 Sam. 7:5) |
| Because you prayed for me I found the strength I needed for my task, The courage I lacked before, the faith to see Beyond my narrow world; new joy for pain I found, and zeal To press on forward strong of heart again — Because you prayed. |
|
| Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. (Rom. 6:9‑10) |
| Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God. (Luke 22:69) |

| They have heard that Thou Lord art among this people, that Thou Lord art seen face to face, and that Thy cloud standeth over them, and that Thou goest before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. (Num. 14:14) |
| He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. (Psa. 112:7) |

| Lord, grant to me a quiet mind, That trusting Thee — for Thou art kind — I may go on without a fear, For Thou, my Lord, art always near. |
|
| In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver. (Prov. 10:19‑20) |
| As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. (Prov. 25:12) |
| Words are things of little cost, Quickly spoken, quickly lost; We forget them, but they stand Witnesses at God’s right hand. |
| Grant us, Lord, from day to day, Strength to watch and grace to pray; May our lips, from sin set free, Love to speak and sing of Thee. |
|
| This is the RECORD, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. (1 John 5:11) |
| I saw, and bare RECORD that this is the Son of God. (John 1:34) |
| He that saw it bare RECORD, and his RECORD is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. (John 19:35) |
| Behold, my witness is in heaven, and my RECORD is on high. (Job 16:19) |

| Oh when shall the fair day break, And the hour of gladness come, When I to my heart’s Beloved, To Thee, O my Lord, go home? |
| I would see Thee face to face, Thou light of my weary eyes; I wait and I watch till morning Shall open the gate of the skies. |
|
| I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him. (Eccl. 3:14) |
| Whereunto I also labor, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightily. (Col. 1:29) |
| Our Father, Thou carest; Thou knowest indeed Our inmost desires, our manifold need; The fount of Thy mercies shall never be dry, Since Thy riches in glory dispense the supply; Our bread shall be given, our water be sure, And nothing shall fail, for Thy Word shall endure. |
|
| Set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. (1 Chron. 22:19) |
| I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Luke 11:9) |
| I know not by what methods rare, But this I know, God answers prayer; I know that He has given His Word, Which tells me prayer is always heard, And will be answered, soon or late; And so I pray and calmly wait. |
|
| A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. (Rom. 3:28) |
| We have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ. (Gal. 2:16) |
| They which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) |

| We praise Thee, and would praise Thee more; To Thee our all we owe; The precious Savior, and the power That makes Him precious too. |
|
| David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. (1 Sam. 30:6) |
| The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. (Psa. 34:17) |
| Oft times it seems my load of care Is so much more than I can bear; Then I look up and Thou art there — O precious Savior, walk with me. |
| Life’s road ahead is veiled and gray; I cannot seem to find my way; Lord, heed my helpless cry, I pray — O precious Savior, walk with me. |
