Thou hast a mighty ARM: strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand. (Psa. 89:13)
Thou hast with Thine ARM redeemed Thy people. (Psa. 77:15)
That led them … with His glorious ARM. (Isa. 63:12)
Mine ARM also shall strengthen him. (Psa. 89:21)
Under Thy wings shall no evil betide
      us;
   In Thy strong ARM shall our
      confidence be;
Who can make trouble when Thou
      givest quiet?
   Peace of the world, we are trusting
      in Thee.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Prov. 4:23)
Take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life. (Deut. 4:9)
Thou who givest of Thy gladness
   Till the cup runs o’er —
Cup whereof the pilgrim weary
   Drinks to thirst no more —
Not beside me, but within me
   Is Thy joy divine;
Thou, O Lord, hast made Thy
      dwelling
   In this heart of mine.

The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. I [Jesus] am that bread of life. (John 6:33,48)
He that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death. (Prov. 8:36)
Oh take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once
   The life everlasting He gives;
And know with assurance thou never
      canst die,
   Since Jesus thy righteousness lives.
Then doubt not thy welcome, since God
      has declared
   There remaineth no more to be done;
Christ once in the end of the world has
      appeared,
   And completed the work He begun.

At the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. (Dan. 4:34)
No more the heirs of wrath —
   Thy sovereign love we see;
And, Father, in confiding faith,
   We cast our souls on Thee.
Our hearts look up to see
   The glory Thou hast given,
And dwell e’en now where we shall be
   With Christ, Thine heirs, in heaven.

From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? (Mark 8:4)
The Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. (Isa. 58:11)
We thank Thee, Lord, for weary days
   When desert springs were dry,
And first we knew what depth of need
   Thy love could satisfy.
And now in perfect peace we go
   Along the way He trod,
Still learning from all need below
   Depths of the heart of God.

Thou art good, and doest good: teach me Thy statutes. (Psa. 119:68)
My hands also will I lift up unto Thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in Thy statutes. (Psa. 119:48)
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.

Certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but Him they saw not. (Luke 24:24)
Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing. (John 20:27)
We walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Cor. 5:7)
O Thou great, all-gracious Shepherd,
   Shedding for us Thy life’s blood,
Unto shame and death delivered,
   All to bring us nigh to God!
Now our willing hearts adore Thee;
   Now we taste Thy dying love,
While by faith we come before Thee —
   Faith which lifts our souls above.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid Thine hand upon me. (Psa. 139:5)
O send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy hill, and to Thy tabernacles. (Psa. 43:3)
Though I take the wings of the
      morning
   And dwell by the farthest sea,
Even there, Lord, Thou art with me,
   And Thy right hand guideth me.
In height or depth, my Father,
   In darkness or in light,
Thy matchless love surrounds me,
   O God of grace and might.

Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. (John 5:39)
Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? (Luke 24:32)
Tell me the same old story,
   When you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory
   Is costing me too dear;
Yes, and when that world’s glory
   Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story:
   Christ Jesus makes me whole.

Now consider this, ye that forget God. (Psa. 50:22)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psa. 9:17)
Beware lest thou forget the Lord. (Deut. 6:12)
Needy one, did e’er you ponder
   O’er your standing toward your
      God?
Have you ever questioned deeply
   What the goal of paths you trod?
Have you heard the wondrous story
   Of the love of God displayed,
When He sent His well beloved,
   Such the sacrifice He made?

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Heb. 11:5)
He called His ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Luke 19:13)
Till Thou shalt come in glory,
   And call us hence away,
To rest in all the brightness
   Of that unclouded day,
We live for Thee, Lord Jesus,
   And here would seek to be
More to Thy death conformed,
   Until Thy face we see.

Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself. (Isa. 44:24)
Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine. (Job 41:11)
Wonderful are the heavens,
   The work which God’s hands have
      wrought;
Sun, moon, stars He has fashioned,
   Whose daily course changeth not;
Wonderful is all nature,
   Mountains and plains and sea,
But the wonder of wonders forever
   Is the love of my Savior for me.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name. (Psa. 140:13)
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven. (Psa. 148:13)
Name of Jesus! Highest name!
Name that earth and heaven adore!
From the heart of God it came;
Leads me to praise, evermore.
Name of Jesus! Living tide!
Days of drought for me are past;
How much more than satisfied,
Are these lips to praise at last!

The FATHER’s face of radiant grace
   Shines now in light on me.

The stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself. (Lev. 19:34)
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Matt. 19:19)
Love yourself last; look near, behold your
   duty
To those who walk beside you down life’s
   road;
Make glad their days by little acts of beauty,
And help them bear the burden of earth’s
   load.
Love yourself last; look far and find the
   stranger
Who staggers neath his sin and his despair;
Go, lend a hand and lead him out of danger
To heights where he may know God’s love
   and care.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. (Psa. 55:16)
Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isa. 65:24)
While upon the Savior call,
   He will not pass you by;
He has seen your grievous thrall,
   And heard your mournful cry;
He has pardon to impart,
   Grace to save you from your
      fears;
See the love that fills His heart,
   And wipe away your tears.

Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. (Psa. 90:1)
Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house: they will be still praising Thee. Selah. (Psa. 84:4)
Eternity — with Jesus — in the skies —
How soon that sun of righteousness may
   rise!
Is now to sit at Jesus’ feet our choice?
How will fruition then our souls rejoice!
What will the sunshine of His glory
   prove?
What the unmingled fullness of His
   love?
What hallelujahs will His presence
   raise?
What but one loud eternal burst of
   praise?

Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9)
God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Heb. 6:10)
Lord, make me available today
To hear Thy voice and do Thy will;
And cheerfully my own small place
   to fill;
Let me Thy clear reflection be,
So those I meet may see in me
Thy goodness and serenity;
Yet give me strength withal
And courage to endure.

Supports the weight of sea and land,

No heart denied that sighs for more.

And ’tis Thy blessing makes it good;
My soul is nourished by Thy Word;
Let soul and body praise the Lord.

The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. (Heb. 13:20)
He is our peace. (Eph. 2:14)
Peace with God — is Christ in
   glory;
God is just and God is love;
Jesus died to tell the story,
Foes to bring to God above.
Sweetest rest and peace have filled
   us,
Sweeter praise than tongue can tell;
God is satisfied with Jesus;
We are satisfied as well.

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am. (Isa. 58:8‑9)
Around Thee all is light,
   And rest of perfect love,
And glory full and bright,
   All human thought above;
Thyself the fountain infinite
   Of all ineffable delight;
O Father, Thy great grace
   We magnify and praise;
Called to that blessed place,
   With Thee through endless days.

   We’d always trust in Thee,
Till we have left this weary land,
   And all Thy glory see.

Behold the Lamb! ’tis He who bore
   My sins upon the tree,
And paid in death the dreadful score —

I’d look to Him till sight endear
   The Savior to my heart;
To Him I look who calms my fear,
   Nor from Himself would part.

Better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. (Prov. 25:7)
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. (Song of Sol. 2:10)
Through the days of fear and trial
   He is speaking to His bride,
And His words of love and comfort
   Draw us closer to His side;
Soon shall dawn the blessed morning
   When He comes to take His own,
And with trumpet-call He summons,
   “Come up higher, to My throne.”

God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12)
We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)
Oh precious Lord, I would ponder
   Breadth and length and depth and
      height
Of Thy love’s eternal wonder —
   All embracing, infinite.
What was that to Thee? The measure
   Of Thy love was Calvary;
Stooping low, love found a treasure
   In the heart of souls like me.

   We’ll sing Thy power and grace;
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
   The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
   Of all Thy saints above.

The servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. (Gen. 24:17)
Jesus saith unto her, Give Me to drink. (John 4:7)
The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it? (John 18:11)
Thou wast the “Man of sorrows”;
Our grief, too, Thou didst bear it;

The thorny crown — didst wear it.
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;
God’s Lamb — Thou wast ordained
To bear our sins (Thyself all clean),
And hast our guilt sustained.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matt. 10:29,31)
Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7)
He who careth for birds and blossoms,
   Frail and fleeting that pass away,
Shall He not count us of much more
      value,
   Made in His image to live alway?
Precious child of a loving Father,
   How much more shall your need be
      met!
Be not anxious — your fears dismissing;
   Trust His promise with no regret.

The anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. (1 John 2:27)
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. (Gal. 6:6)

His Spirit fills my every need
   And, teaching, I am taught.

Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:7‑8)
Christ is the Savior of sinners,
   Christ is the Savior for me;
Long I was chained in sin’s
      darkness;
   Now by His grace I am free.
Just as I was He received me,
   Seeking from judgment to flee;
Now there is no condemnation:
   This is the Savior for me.
