A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:16)
The voice of my beloved! (Song of Sol. 2:8)
Thou shalt arise … yea, the set time, is come. (Psa. 102:13)
We welcome still Thy faithful word —
“The cross shall meet its sure reward”;
For soon must pass the “little while,”
Then joy shall crown Thy servants’
   toil:
And we shall hear Thee, Savior, say,
“Arise, My love, and come away;
Look up, for thou shalt weep no more,
But rest on heaven’s eternal shore.”

One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, He it is that fighteth for you, as He hath promised you. (Josh. 23:10)
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. (Rom. 8:37)
The Lord shall fight for you,
   And ye shall hold your peace;
He will your battles undertake,
   Bid fears and worries cease.
He will your cause defend,
   The faithful, strong and true,
Will with your enemies contend;
   Your God shall fight for you.

Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths. (Psa. 25:4)
Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name. (Psa. 86:11)
’Tis a solitary pathway
   To that fair retreat —
Where in deep and sweet
      communion
   Sit I at His feet;
In that glorious isolation,
   Loneliness how blest,
From the windy storm and
      tempest
   Have I found my rest.

I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free. (Ex. 21:5)
Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. (2 Cor. 8:9)
Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. (Matt. 17:26)
We know the love that brought Thee
      down,
   Down from that bliss in high,
To meet our ruined souls in need,
   On Calvary’s cross to die.
E’en now we praise the grace divine,
   The love that shines in Thee;
The rich One Thou — for us made poor,
   By death to set us free.

It came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. (Ex. 14:20)
When they cried unto the Lord, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them. (Josh. 24:7)
Between the circumstance and me,
   A Father’s loving heart
Knows all the problems of the path
   And bears a Father’s part.
Oh why be burdened then with care?
   The love that set you free,
Such love is evermore between
   The circumstance and thee.

Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. (Jer. 9:23‑24)
In Thy sovereignty rejoicing,
We Thy children bow and praise,
For we know that kind and loving,
Just and true, are all Thy ways;
While Thy heart of sovereign mercy
And Thine arm of sovereign might,
For our great and strong salvation,
In Thy sovereign grace unite.

They said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom. 10:13)
A little child of seven,
Or even three or four,
May enter into heaven
Through Christ, the open door;
For when the heart believeth
On Christ, the Son of God,
It’s then the soul receiveth
Salvation through His blood.

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? (Song of Sol. 6:1)
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Rev. 3:11,13)
Midst the darkness, storm and
      sorrow,
   One bright gleam I see;
Well I know the blessed morrow
   Christ will come for me.
Oh the blessed joy of meeting
   (All the desert past!);
Oh the wondrous words of greeting
   He shall speak at last!

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you. … Fear not, nor be dismayed … for the Lord will be with you. (2 Chron. 20:17)
With us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. (2 Chron. 32:8)
“Ye shall not need to fight”;
   There is no need to fear;
“Stand still” and wait upon the Lord,
   Whose help is ever near.
What quietness and peace
   This gives unto the heart;
When victory is in His hands,
   The fears and doubts depart.

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord. (Lam. 2:19)
Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Psa. 62:8)
What fills my heart with gladness?
   ’Tis Thine abounding grace!
Where can I look in sadness,
   But, Jesus, on Thy face?
My all is Thy providing;
   Thy love can ne’er grow cold;
In Thee, my refuge hiding,
   No good wilt Thou withhold.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (Heb. 1:1‑2)
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. (Matt. 17:5)
Lamb of God, our souls adore Thee,
   While upon Thy face we gaze;
There the Father’s love and glory
   Shine in all their brightest rays;
Thy almighty power and wisdom
   All creation’s works proclaim;
Heaven and earth alike confess Thee
   As the ever great I AM.

There arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish? (Mark 4:37‑38)
I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage. (Josh. 1:5‑6)
“Carest Thou not” — how many times the
   cry
Has winged its way up to the throne on high!
“Why are ye fearful” of the raging sea?
It is the Master who is calling thee.
No harm can come with Jesus at the helm,
Nothing can conquer, nothing overwhelm;
Then rest within His blessed will,
And hear Him saying, “Peace, be still.”

Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? (Ezek. 34:2)
Jesus … said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And they did all eat, and were filled. (Matt. 15:32,35,37)
Thy shepherd love impart,
   That never wearieth;
Oh give to me the shepherd heart
   That loves them unto death.
Give me the love that led
   To the garden to pray
That Thy dear sheep be shepherded;
   Lord, let Thy love have sway.

Partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel. (Eph. 3:6)
They have not all obeyed the gospel. (Rom. 10:16)
I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. 10:18)
Oh, how sweet the gospel message,
   Rich and boundless, full and free;
O friend, will you pause and listen?
   Jesus died, and died for thee.
Say not, it’s to other people —
   Those more worthy of His call —
But receive the truth with gladness:
   Jesus died, and died for all.

The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens. (Psa. 103:19)
Lord, Thou … wilt prepare their heart. (Psa. 10:17)
That He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore prepared unto glory. (Rom. 9:23)
High, in the Father’s house above,
   Our mansion is prepared;
There is the home, the rest we love,
   And there our bright reward.
With Him we love, in spotless white,
   In glory we shall shine;
His blissful presence our delight,
   In love and joy divine.

Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. (Song of Sol. 4:16)
We are unto God a sweet savor of Christ. (2 Cor. 2:15)
The gladness of His heart to be,
   In that bright morning’s gleam,
For this Thy hand has fashioned
      me,
   Has made me meet for Him;
The spikenard and the cinnamon,
   Trees pleasant in Thy sight,
Thy hand has planted for the Son,
   In whom is Thy delight.

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. (2 Sam. 22:47)
Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise
The blessings of redeeming grace;
Jesus, our everlasting tower,
Mocks at the angry tempest’s roar.
His love’s a refuge ever nigh;
His watchfulness, a mountain high;
His name’s a rock, which winds above
Nor waves below can ever move.

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work. (John 4:34)
Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. (Eph. 4:9‑10)
O Lord! Thou now art seated,
   Above the heavens, on high,
(The gracious work completed,
   For which Thou cam’st to die);
To Thee our hearts are lifted,
   While pilgrims wandering here,
For Thou alone art gifted
   Our every weight to bear.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you. … Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)
I would have you without carefulness. (1 Cor. 7:32)
The Lord your God hath given you rest. (Josh. 1:13)
What richer portion could one ever find
Than perfect peace of heart and rest of
   mind?
And ’tis His promise, He will safely keep,
Throughout life’s pathway, every single
   sheep.
“Careful for nothing,” what is there to fear
Since He has promised to be ever near?
“Careful for nothing,” whatsoe’er betide,
Peace is your portion, with Him at your
   side.

A work of lowly love to do
   For Him on whom I wait.

The Great, The Mighty God, The Lord of hosts, is His name; great in counsel, and mighty in work: for Thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jer. 32:18‑19)
God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Eccl. 12:14)

   Here with man to take His part.
Come at once, your way forsaking,
   Own your sins with all their shame,
Claim God’s pardon, full, eternal,
   Now believing in His name.

Whose love has cheered us through
   the darksome night!
How will our ears drink in His
   well-known voice,
Whose faintest whispers make our
   souls rejoice!

Lost in silent love and wonder,
   There my soul abides;
Portion blest beyond all telling —
   Christ, and naught besides.

’Tis the Word, ’tis God’s Anointed,
   Son of Man and Son of God.

For all who accept Him as Savior now,
And acknowledge the work He has
   done.

Prepared for him who presses
   To Thy fair dwelling place.

   His love and His power in harmony blend;
’Tis grace that has saved me, and grace that
      is holding,
   And grace that will keep to the end.
