Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead. (Acts 17:29‑31)
Come to the Savior now!
   He gently commands thee;
In true repentance bow;
   Before Him bend the knee;
He waits to now bestow
   Salvation, peace and love,
True joy on earth below,
   A home in heaven above.

Christ is the head of the church. That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Eph. 5:23,26‑27)
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (2 Peter 3:14)
He will sanctify you wholly;
   Body, spirit, soul shall be
Blameless till your Savior’s coming
   In His glorious majesty!
He has perfected forever
   Those whom He has sanctified;
Spotless, glorious and holy
   Is the church, His chosen bride.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation. (Isa. 12:2)
The Lord stood with me, and strengthened me. (2 Tim. 4:17)
In Thy strength my soul is still
   Guarded, kept within Thy
      hands,
Molded by Thy tender will,
   Mightier than all commands;
Lord, my song shall constant be
Of Thy love, eternally.

We beseech Thee, O Lord, we beseech Thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for Thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased Thee. (Jonah 1:14)
Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly, and said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and He heard me. (Jonah 2:1‑2)
The Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. (Jonah 2:10)
There’s rich reward in looking unto Jesus,
Acknowledging His guidance all the way:
Oh! keep us with our eyes so fixed upon
   Thee,
And lead us that we never go astray.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him. (Psa. 89:7)
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Psa. 29:2)
Thy name encircles every grace
   That God as man could show;
There only could He fully trace
   A life divine below.
The mention of Thy name shall bow
   Our hearts to worship Thee;
The chiefest of ten thousand Thou,
   Whose love has set us free.

The horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. (Ex. 15:19)
We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt … for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. (Josh. 2:10‑11)
And His hand will lead you through — clear
      through —
   Ere the watery walls roll down;
No foe can reach you, no wave can touch,
   No mightiest sea can drown;
The tossing billows may rear their crests,
   Their foam at your feet may break,
But over their bed you shall walk dry shod
   In the path that your Lord will make.

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. (1 John 2:8,10)
Holy brethren, called and chosen
By the sovereign voice of might,
See your high and holy calling
Out of darkness into light!
Called according to His purpose
And the riches of His love;
Won to listen by the leading
Of the gentle heavenly One!

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. (Gen. 4:7)
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. (Acts 10:34‑35)
’Tis found in the blood
Of Him who once stood
My refuge and safety,
My surety with God.
Accepted I am
In the once-offered Lamb;
’Twas God who Himself
Had devised the plan.

As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Rom. 8:14‑15)
Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Gal. 4:7)
While here on earth we’re waiting,
   His rest on high to share,
We know our blest relation
   As children to Him there,
And by His Spirit’s leading,
   We Abba, Father, cry;
With ever-growing longing
   We seek our home on high.

Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant. (2 Sam. 2:7)
Thou hast strengthened the weak hands … and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. (Job 4:3‑4)
Lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees. (Heb. 12:12)
Oh strengthen me, that while I
   stand
Firm on the rock and strong in
   Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers on a troubled sea.

The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, and said, I beseech Thee, O Lord God of heaven … let Thine ear now be attentive, and Thine eyes open, that Thou mayest hear the prayer of Thy servant, which I pray before Thee now, day and night. (Neh. 1:3‑6)
We look to Thee, in trial and affliction;
   Thine eye is ever on us from above;
To Thee we look, with every rising problem,
   And trust them to Thy wisdom and
      Thy love.

I sought for a man among them, that should … stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it. (Ezek. 22:30)
He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath. (Psa. 106:23)
They shall look upon Me whom they have pierced. (Zech. 12:10)
As our surety we behold Thee,
Ransoming our souls from death;
As the willing victim view Thee,
Yielding up to God Thy breath.

O Lord, for Thy servant’s sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. O Lord, there is none like Thee, neither is there any God besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. (1 Chron. 17:19‑20)
Behold, the Lord our God hath showed us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice. (Deut. 5:24)
In the depths of His bright glory,
   Where the heavens rejoice,
I have seen Him, I have known Him,
   I have heard His voice.
Words unutterable He speaketh,
   Words that none can tell;
Yet, O Lord, Thy wondrous secret
   Knows my heart full well.

He said unto them, TAKE HEED what ye hear. (Mark 4:24)
TAKE HEED therefore how ye hear. (Luke 8:18)
I said, I will TAKE HEED to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth. (Psa. 39:1)
TAKE HEED to your spirit. (Mal. 2:15)
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. (Gal. 6:18)
Then endless praise our lips shall
      move,
   And joy our spirits fill;
The objects of His love divine,
   Oh who that joy can tell?

They went in unto Noah into the ark … and the Lord SHUT him in. (Gen. 7:15‑16)
They that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was SHUT. (Matt. 25:10)
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath SHUT to the door, and ye begin … saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are. (Luke 13:25)
But the ark, and all within it,
   Calmly rose above the tide;
Judgment’s storms can never reach them
   Who in God’s own Word confide!
For, His only Son once suffered;
   He for us the judgment bore;
Those who come to Him are sheltered
   By His blood, forevermore.

I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. (2 John 5)
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17)
The Holy Spirit, revealing
   Thy grace, has given us rest;
Thy stripes have been our healing;
   Thy love does make us blest.
In Thee the Father sees us
   Accepted and complete;
Grace, which from evil frees us,
   For glory makes us meet.

Being brought on their way by the church … they caused great joy unto all the BRETHREN. (Acts 15:3)
From thence, when the BRETHREN heard of us, they came to meet us … whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. (Acts 28:15)
BRETHREN, pray for us. (1 Thess. 5:25)
Children of God, may peace abound;
   May we abide in unity!
Where BRETHREN meet, where
      Christ is found,
   May peace and concord ever be!

Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said … Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth. Lord, bow down Thine ear, and hear: open, Lord, Thine eyes, and see. Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech Thee, save Thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the Lord God, even Thou only. (2 Kings 19:15‑16,19)
His priest am I, before Him day and night,
Within His holy place;
And death and life and all things dark
   and bright
I spread before His face —
Rejoicing with His joy, yet ever still;
My work to bend beneath His blessed will;
Forever holding with Him converse sweet,
Yet speechless, for my gladness is complete.

Who, when He had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that He had, and bought it. (Matt. 13:46)
In the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:7)
Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop:
Thence is all Thy people’s hope;
Thou wast poor, that we might be
Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee.
Yet we long the day to see
When, from every hindrance free,
When to Thee, in glory, brought,
We shall praise Thee as we ought.

Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself … comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. (2 Thess. 2:16‑17)
The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (2 Thess. 3:3)
All the way my Savior leads me;
   What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
   Who through life has been my
      Guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
   Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
   Jesus doeth all things well.

He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about … to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. (Ezek. 42:20)
Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord. (2 Cor. 6:17)
But Thou carest that through our
      pathway here
   We walk in the light above,
That we sit in His shadow with great
      delight,
   And feed on the fruit of His love.
Apart from all in the joy we dwell
   Which the eye has never seen —
’Tis a dry and a thirsty land below,
   But there the fields are green.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom. 10:17)
He that is of God heareth God’s words. (John 8:47)
Oh, have you not heard of that
      wonderful love,
   That flows from God’s heart so free,
Which led Him to give for a perishing
      world
   His Son to be nailed to the tree?
Then will you not prove this
      wonderful love,
   That flows from God’s heart so free,
Which led Him to give, that sinners
      might live,
   His Son to be nailed to the tree?

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. (Titus 2:8)
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ. (Phil. 1:10)
We know no condemnation,
   No law that speaks despair:
And Satan’s accusation,
   With Christ, we need not fear.
Our portion there is lying,
   A destined, heavenly lot;
And though we’re daily dying,
   Our portion withers not.

Among whom are ye also the CALLED of Jesus Christ. (Rom. 1:6)
We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to His purpose. (Rom. 8:28)
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high CALLING of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14)
Whom He calleth He preserveth,
   And His glory they shall see;
He is faithful that has called you —
   He will do it; fear not ye!
Therefore, holy brethren, onward!
   Thus ye make your calling sure;
For the prize of this high calling,
   Onward! to the end — endure.

Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh … and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. (1 Sam. 1:9‑10)
I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have … poured out my soul before the Lord … for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. (1 Sam. 1:15‑16)
As the world moves on, there’s One who
   knows
The meaning and the cause of all life’s woes,
Who from above looks down in every heart,
And knows just why the tear-drops must
   needs start.
Oh go to Him in sorrow, and you’ll find
A sympathy that’s infinitely kind;
A love that naught can evermore destroy —
That longs to give you in your sorrow — joy.

Upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (Acts 20:7)
As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. (1 Cor. 11:26)
We know Thee now ascended high,
   Ourselves in Thee accepted;
We wait the hour which now draws
      nigh,
   Thy coming long expected;
Till Thou dost come we still would be
With grateful hearts remembering
      Thee.

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. (Lam. 3:22‑23)
Though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. (Lam. 3:32‑33)
His faithfulness fails not; it meets each new
   day
With guidance for every new step of the way;
New grace for new trials, new trust for old
   fears,
New patience for bearing the wrongs of the
   years,
New strength for new burdens, new courage
   for old,
New faith for whatever the day may unfold;
As fresh for each need as the dew on the sod;
Oh, new every morning the mercies of God!

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. (Prov. 23:19)
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. (Prov. 3:3)
Let not thine heart envy sinners; but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. (Prov. 23:17)
Holiness by faith in Jesus,
   Not by effort of your own —
Sin’s dominion crushed and broken
   By the power of grace alone —
God’s own holiness within you,
   His own beauty on your brow —
This shall be your pilgrim brightness;
   This your blessed portion now.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (Rom. 10:14)
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). (Eph. 2:5)
Proclaimer of that peace to all,
He tells of full, unmingled grace;
To high and low — who hear the
   call —
To old and young of Adam’s race,
He preaches peace, He preaches peace,
And love divine shines in His face.

After these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous are His judgments. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. (Rev. 19:1‑2,4)
All His saints from all the ages,
   Every clime and tongue,
All together now we worship
   In a faultless song;
In the song no discord troubles
   And no weakness mars,
Sound we loud His name beloved
   Far beyond the stars.
