Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. (Prov. 3:9‑10)
The chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. (Prov. 24:4)
Where the Lord of grace and power
   Has blessed the happy field,
How plenteous is the golden store
   The deep-wrought furrows yield!
Father of mercies, we have need
   Of Thy preparing grace;
Let the same hand that gives the seed
   Provide a fruitful place.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Heb. 9:12)
By one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. (Heb. 10:14)
In the Lord we have redemption,
   Full remission in His blood;
From the curse entire exemption,
   From the curse pronounced by
      God:
What a Savior Jesus is!
Oh what grace, what love is His!

It came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. (1 Kings 17:7)
The barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord. (1 Kings 17:16)
When fails some brook of Cherith
   That long for us availed,
Do we recall His promise
   And think that too has failed?
Nay, He has other rivers
   Whose waters will not dry;
His love is ever meeting
   New need with new supply.

Ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss. (James 4:2‑3)
God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart. (1 Kings 3:11‑12)
I blindly ask for what I crave,
   With haughty heart and will so stout;
He oft denies me what I seek,
   But gives me grace to do without.
Oh blessed, perfect will of God,
   To it I bow with heart devout;
Might I ask within Thy will,
   Content to wait and not to doubt.

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. (Ezek. 18:20)
We must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person; yet doth He devise means, that His banished be not expelled from Him. (2 Sam. 14:14)
As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Cor. 15:22)
Oh, how can we leave you?
   Why will you not come?
’Tis Jesus entreats you;
   He bids you come home;
Oh, turn you! Oh, turn you!
   For why will you die,
When God, in great mercy,
   Is coming so nigh?

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. (1 Peter 1:6)
Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. (1 Peter 4:13)
What a day will that be when the
      Savior appears!
   How welcome to those who have
      shared in His cross!
A crown incorruptible then will be
      theirs,
   A rich compensation for suffering
      and loss.

Hast thou an arm like God? (Job 40:9)
To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isa. 53:1)
On Mine arm shall they trust. (Isa. 51:5)
’Tis only in Thee hiding
   We feel ourselves secure;
Only in Thee abiding
   The conflict can endure;
Thine arm the victory gaineth
   O’er every hateful foe;
Thy love our hearts sustaineth,
   In all their cares and woe.

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. (Phil. 1:11)
All the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord withal. (Lev. 19:24)
Joy is a fruit that will not grow
   In nature’s barren soil;
All we can boast, till Christ we know,
   Is vanity and toil.
But where the Lord has planted
      grace,
   And made His glories known,
There fruits of heavenly joy and peace
   Are found, and there alone.

When I see the blood, I will pass over you. (Ex. 12:13)
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. (1 Cor. 5:7)
God could not pass the sinner by;
His sin demands that he must die;
But in the cross of Christ we see
How God can save, yet righteous
   be.
The sin alights on Jesus’ head;
’Tis in His blood sin’s debt is
   paid;
Stern justice can demand no
   more,
And mercy can dispense her store.

He came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. (Luke 7:14)
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Matt. 8:17)
Lord, from the depths, to Thee we
      come,
   For Thy beloved is ill;
O Thou who art our one true home,
   Recall the wandering will.
Out of the depths we cry to Thee
   In fellowship of pain,
That all Thy travail, Lord, may see
   Love’s triumph once again.

Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matt. 22:29)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hos. 4:6)
The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. (Psa. 119:130)
Oh, wonderful Scriptures, the Word of the
      Lord!
   True wisdom its pages unfold,
And though we may read them a thousand
      times o’er,
   They never, no never, grow old!
Each line has a treasure, each promise a
      pearl,
   That all if they will may secure;
And we know that when time and the world
      pass away,
   God’s Word shall forever endure.

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Prov. 29:1)
He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Gal. 6:8)
Come! Thou wanderer, time is
      passing;
   Soon the days of life are gone;
Soon will come eternal ages,
   And the tale of life be done.
Now believe in Him the Savior;
   Now believe what He has done;
Then with others tell the story:
   Jesus has salvation won.

Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it. (Isa. 56:1‑2)
Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (Rom. 13:11)
Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer,
Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee;
God’s right hand shall guide thee there;
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. (Deut. 29:5)
The Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. (Isa. 52:12)
This God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even unto death. (Psa. 48:14)
Our God is light, and though we go
   Across a trackless wild,
Our Jesus’ footsteps ever show
   The path for every child.
At every step afresh we prove
   How sure our heavenly guide;
The faithful and forbearing love
   That never turns aside.

He is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name. (Acts 9:15)
The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Matt. 25:4)
Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:18)
To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Eph. 1:6)
Earthen vessels, marred, unsightly,
   But the treasure as of old,
Fresh from glory, gleaming brightly,
   Heaven’s undimmed, unchanging
      gold;
God’s own hand the vessel filling
   From the glory far above,
Longing hearts forever stilling
   With those riches of His love.

He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2)
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith. (Acts 26:18)
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
   All our sins were on Thee laid;
By almighty love anointed,
   Thou hast full atonement made;
All Thy people are forgiven
   Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven;
   Peace is made for us with God.

Behold, a hand TOUCHED me, which set me upon my knees. (Dan. 10:10)
There came again and TOUCHED me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. (Dan. 10:18)
Jesus came and TOUCHED them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. (Matt. 17:7)
Oh blessed touch of the Man divine!
When the fever is come in your life and
   mine —
Whatever the fever, His touch can heal
   it;
Whatever the tempest, His voice can
   still;
There is only joy as we seek His
   pleasure;
There is only a rest as we seek His will.

Having food and raiment, let us be therewith content. (1 Tim. 6:8)
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matt. 6:34)
And, with Him, all my care will cease,
And He will fill me with His peace,
And conscious knowledge of His love,
Which day to day, to me He’ll prove.
My wants I will make known in
   prayer,
Then trust a loving Father’s care;
His power, so great, His love, so
   strong,
Will fill my soul with endless song.

We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isa. 64:6)
How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. (Job 13:23)
Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. (Psa. 51:9)
In rags and in ruin, without and within,
One terrible mass of pollution and sin;
Oh! none can restore, nor such deep sin
   efface,
But the One who comes forth in such
   infinite grace;
Are you ruined and helpless? God offers
   to you
A free, full salvation — and nothing to do!

As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (John 5:21,25)
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!

Not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Rom. 5:3‑5)
One day at a time
   To be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial
   And sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass
   And its sorrow shall cease;
For God’s love in the heart
   Brings everlasting peace.

Filled with all KNOWLEDGE. (Rom. 15:14)
Then was our mouth filled with LAUGHTER, and our tongue with SINGING. (Psa. 126:2)
That I may be filled with JOY. (2 Tim. 1:4)
His PRAISE shall continually be in my mouth. (Psa. 34:1)
Ever ascendeth the song and the joy,
Ever descendeth the love from on high,
Blessing and honor and glory and praise,
This is the theme of the hymns that we
   raise.
Blessing and honor and glory and power,
Wisdom and riches and strength evermore,
Give ye to Him who our battle has won,
Whose are the kingdom, the crown and the
   throne.

Behold, My servant shall deal prudently, He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. (Isa. 52:13)
Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty. (Isa. 33:17)
Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see. (Luke 24:39)
The holy One who knew no sin,
   God made Him sin for us;
The Savior died our souls to win,
   Upon the shameful cross.
His beauty shineth far above
   Our feeble power of praise;
And we shall live and learn His love
   Through everlasting days.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. (Prov. 13:24)
Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. (Heb. 12:6)
Oh blows that smite! Oh hurts that
      pierce
   This shrinking heart of mine!
What are they but the Master’s
      tools
   Forming a work divine?
Sculptor of souls! I lift to Thee
   Encumbered heart and hands;
Spare not the chisel; set me free,
   However dear the bands.

Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. (Ezek. 18:30‑32)
Oh turn, turn; why will you die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why;
He, who all your life has striven,
Woos you to accept God’s heaven;
Will you not His grace receive?
Will you not His love believe?
Oh why, why, long-sought one, why
Will you grieve your God, and die?

I will even betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord. And I will sow her unto Me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not My people, Thou art My people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. (Hos. 2:20,23)
My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. (Isa. 32:18)
Still in undisturbed possession,
   Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
   Hear the voice of war again.
God shall rise, and shining o’er you,
   Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord, shall be your glory,
   God your everlasting light.

I love Thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for Thy commandments. (Psa. 119:127,129,131)
There lie my books — for all I sought
   My heart possesses now;
The words are sweet that tell Thy
      love;
   The love itself art Thou.
One line I read — and then no
      more —
   I close my books to see
No more the symbol and the sign,
   But Christ revealed to me.

The children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. (Ex. 2:23‑25)
How long beneath the law I lay
   In bondage and distress!
I toiled the precept to obey,
   But toiled without success.
I see the law by Christ fulfilled
   And hear His pardoning voice,
Changing a slave into a child
   And duty into choice.

Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. (Acts 17:3)
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (Rom. 8:34)
Now come forth in resurrection,
Passing onward to the throne;
Having suffered all the judgment,
Borne the storm of wrath alone:
He is able thus to succor
Those who tread the desert sand,
Pressing on to resurrection,
Where He sits at God’s right hand.
