Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. (2 Cor. 1:3)
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matt. 5:4)
I have been through the valley of
   weeping,
The valley of sorrow and pain;
But the “God of all comfort” was with
   me,
At hand to uphold and sustain.
So we’ll follow wherever He leadeth,
Let the path be dreary or bright;
For we’ve proved that our God can
   give comfort;
Our God can give songs in the night.

Though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers. (1 Cor. 4:15)
Grant me Thy law graciously. (Psa. 119:29)
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. (1 Peter 2:3)
Lord Jesus, who didst always find
The way into the clouded mind,
Oh make me wise to find the way
To help the soul for whom I pray.
Give me the love that will not fail,
The hope that no rebuff can quail,
Thine insight — penetrating, clear —
Thy tender touch, direct, sincere.

Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Tim. 2:5‑6)
When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Rom. 5:6)
The Son of God a ransom came
Down from His throne on high,
Into this world of sin and shame
For us to bleed and die.
The wrath that was my portion,
   Lord,
Was suffered all by Thee,
When tasting death for every
   man —
When tasting death for me.

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. (Jer. 10:23)
A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. (Prov. 16:9)
Our God is light: and though we go
   Across a trackless wild,
Our Jesus’ footsteps ever show
   The path for every child.
Thou weariest not, most gracious
      Lord,
   Though we may weary grow;
In season the sustaining word
   Thou givest our hearts to know.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. (Eph. 6:18‑19)
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.

The priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. (Lev. 2:2)
Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace. (Eph. 2:15)
And now we draw near to the throne of
   grace,
For His blood and the Priest are there;
And we joyfully seek God’s holy face,
With our censer of praise and prayer;
The burning mount and the mystic veil,
With our terrors and guilt are gone;
Our conscience has peace that can never
   fail:
’Tis the Lamb on high on the throne.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand. (Psa. 37:23‑24)
When I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Mic. 7:8)
If now the path be narrow
And steep and rough and lone,
If crags and tangles cross it,
Praise God! We’re safe — press on.
We follow in His footsteps;
What if our feet be torn?
Where He has marked the pathway
We’ll never be forlorn.

Lord, I am Thine; Thy love to me
Constrains my soul to cleave to Thee,
And gladly to resign
Whate’er I have, whate’er I am;
My life be all with Thine the same,
And all Thy shame be mine.

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? (Job 38:17)
That He [Jesus] by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Heb. 2:9)
In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. (Prov. 12:28)
Where’er I go I’ll tell the story
   Of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
   Save the cross;
Yes, this my constant theme shall be,
Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me
   On the cross.

Ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. (Heb. 10:36‑37)
We wait for Thee, content to
      share,
   In patience, days of trial;
So meekly Thou the cross didst
      bear,
   Our sin, reproach, denial;
How should not we receive with
      Thee
The cup of shame and sorrow,
Until the promised morrow?

Fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. (Isa. 51:7)
He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. (Psa. 57:3)
Why should I droop in sorrow?
   Thou’rt ever by my side!
Why trembling dread the morrow?
   What ills can e’er betide?
If I my cross have taken,
   ’Tis but to follow Thee;
If scorned, despised, forsaken,
   Naught severs Thee from me!

Shall praise Thy name forever.

Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. (Lev. 16:9‑10)
The life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Lev. 17:11)
Rise, my soul! behold, ’tis Jesus;
   Jesus fills thy wondering eyes;
See Him now in glory seated,
   Where thy sins no more can rise.
There in righteousness transcendent,
   Lo! He does in heaven appear,
Shows the blood of His atonement
   As thy title to be there.

I would declare unto Him the number of my steps. (Job 31:37)
Now Thou numberest my steps. (Job 14:16)
Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps? (Job 31:4)
He does not lead me year by year
   Nor even day by day,
But step by step my path unfolds;
   My Lord directs my way.
What need to worry then, or fret —
   The God who gave His Son
Holds all my moments in His hand
   And gives them, one by one.

If He shall call, to answer, “Yea” —
And to His voice, “Amen.”

To meet their deepest need,
Hear in the Word
The voice of Jesus speaking,
And trust in Him
Who makes them free indeed.

After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate. (Neh. 3:29)
Afterward He brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: and, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with His glory. (Ezek. 43:1‑2)
Glory! Glory! His the glory!
His the kingdom! His the power!
When the Sun shall break in splendor
Through the clouds that darkly lower,
We shall see it, we shall share it;
Let this hope our comfort be —
As we know Him at the even,
In the morning we shall see.

We have great joy and consolation in thy love, because … the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. (Philem. 7)
We were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. (2 Cor. 7:13)

Blest be the tie that binds
   Our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
   Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne
   We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
   Our comforts and our cares.

Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord. (Gen. 19:27)
All the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple, for to hear Him. (Luke 21:38)
No other voice than Thine has ever spoken,
   O Lord, to me —
No other words but Thine the stillness broken
   Of life’s lone sea;
None other tells unto my soul the secret,
   The mystery divine —
The love that maketh glad the inner
      chambers,
   His home and mine;
And therefore, O my God, with full assurance
   I hear, and I rejoice;
The heart of Christ, beyond men’s thoughts
      and dreamings,
   Told in His voice.

They crucified Him, and two others with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. (John 19:18‑19)
O Lord! when we the path retrace
   Which Thou on earth hast trod,
To man Thy wondrous love and grace,
   Thy faithfulness to God.
Unmoved by Satan’s subtle wiles,
   Or suffering, shame and loss;
Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles,
   Led only to the cross.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. (Psa. 143:4)
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord. (Psa. 119:145)
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness. (Psa. 143:1)
When skies are dark with mounting
      storm
   And sullen clouds hang low,
When all my ways are desert ways
   And hours drag leaden-slow,
When pain-filled nights are dark and long
   And dawn no respite brings,
Then God bends low to hear my cry
   And answer all my needs.

God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7‑8)
Let my heart be sound in Thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. (Psa. 119:80)
Strength of my heart, I need not
   fail —
Not mine to fear but to obey;
With such a leader who could quail?
Thou art as Thou wert yesterday!
Lord, give me love; then I have all,
For love casts out tormenting fear;
And love sounds forth a trumpet
   call
To valiant hope, and sweet and clear.

Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. (Matt. 9:11‑12)
Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. (Luke 8:50)
“Come to Me, ye weary;
   I have rest to give”;

   For the sin-sick soul;
Come to Him believing:
   He will make you whole.

Finish, He will, the work begun,
   And grace in glory end.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee. (Jer. 1:5)
Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. (John 1:48)
I also will keep thee. (Rev. 3:10)
As Thine, Thou didst foreknow us
   From all eternity;
Thy chosen, loved ones ever,
   Kept present to Thine eye;
And when was come the moment,
   Thou, calling by Thy grace,
Didst gently, firmly draw us
   Each from his hiding-place.

My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door. … I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake. (Song of Sol. 5:4‑6)
His hand at last, the hand once pierced
      for me,
   Forever holdeth mine;
O Lord, no songs, no harps of heaven will
      be
   Sweet as one word of Thine.
Lord, altogether lovely! then at last
   High shall the merit be;
Thy touch outweigh the weary ages past
   Of hearts that brake for Thee.
