The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18)

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
   Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow
      strangely dim
   In the light of His glory and grace.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. (Eph. 1:13)

Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (Eph. 4:30)

What raised the wondrous thought,
Or who did it suggest?
That we, the church, to glory brought,
Should with the Son be blest.

Sealed with the Holy Ghost,
   We triumph in that love;
Thy wondrous thought has made our
      boast,
   “Glory with Christ above.”

Ye are My friends. … I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. (John 15:14‑15)

A friend loveth at all times. (Prov. 17:17)

This is my beloved, and this is my friend. (Song of Sol. 5:16)

I could not do without Thee,
   O Jesus, Savior dear!
E’en when my eyes are holden,
   I know that Thou art near;
How dreary and how lonely
   This changeful life would be,
Without the sweet communion,
   The secret rest with Thee!

O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. (Psa. 51:15)

My tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. (Psa. 51:14)

I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. (Psa. 42:4)

Oh teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may
reach
The hidden depths of many a heart;
Oh fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. (Rev. 4:11)

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. (Rev. 5:12)

Behold the Lamb with glory crowned!
To Him all power be given;
No place too high for Him is found,
No place too high in heaven.

To Him whom men despise and slight,
To Him be glory given;
The crown is His, and His by right,
The highest place in heaven.

Went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him: and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. (Luke 10:34‑35)

He has spoken in the darkness,
   In the silence of thy grief,
Sympathy so deep and tender,
   Mighty for thy heart’s relief;
Speaking in thy night of sorrow
   Words of comfort and of calm,
Gently on thy wounded spirit
   Pouring true and healing balm.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. (Prov. 4:4)

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. (Prov. 4:13)

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. (Prov. 3:23)

There, in the stillness, open Thy good
treasure,
The precious things of Christ unfolding still,
And, as Thy Spirit brings them to
remembrance,
Let gratitude and love my spirit fill.

Teach me to do Thy will; Thy pattern show
me;
Reveal Thy purpose for my life each day;
Then for Thy service with fresh oil anoint me,
And with Thy presence hallow all my way.

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. (1 Peter 2:4)

It is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. (1 Peter 2:6)

Here we have a firm foundation;
   Here’s the refuge of the lost;
Christ’s the rock of our salvation —
   His the name of which we boast;
Lamb of God! For sinners wounded —
   Sacrifice to cancel guilt;
None shall ever be confounded
   Who on Thee their hope have built.

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. (Rev. 5:13)

See how God has now enthroned Him
   At His own right hand on high;
There the heavenly hosts have owned
      Him,
   Filling with His praise the sky.

Endless life in Him possessing,
Let us praise His glorious name;
Glory, honor, power and blessing
Be forever to the Lamb.

Thou hast the dew of thy youth. (Psa. 110:3)

My glory was fresh in me. (Job 29:20)

Ye are our glory and joy. (1 Thess. 2:20)

Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 6:11)

Has not each heart a passion and a dream?
Each some companionship forever sweet?
And each in saddest skies some silver gleam,
And each some passing joy, too fair and
fleet?
And what have I? An endless heaven of
love,
A rapture, and a glory, and a calm;
A life that is an everlasting psalm,
All, O Beloved, in Thee.

They ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem: and then they waited on their office according to their order. And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites; Heman a singer. (1 Chron. 6:32‑33)

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing. (Psa. 100:2)

Here on earth a temple stands,
   Temple never built with hands;
There the Lord does fill the place
   With the glory of His grace;
Where the soul, a priest in white,
   Singeth praises day and night;
Glory of the love divine
   Filling all this heart of mine.

Having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. (Heb. 7:3)

There ariseth another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. (Heb. 7:15‑16)

Christ glorified not Himself to be made a high priest; but He that said unto Him, Thou art My Son, today have I begotten Thee. (Heb. 5:5)

O God, we come with singing,
   Because Thy great high priest
Our names to Thee is bringing,
   Nor e’er forgets the least;
For us He wears the mitre,
   Where “holiness” shines bright;
For us His robes are whiter
   Than heaven’s unsullied light.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking. (Psa. 77:4)

God my maker, who giveth songs in the night. (Job 35:10)

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. (Psa. 149:5)

Floating through the somber
stillness
Came the loved and loving voice,
Speaking peace and solemn gladness,
That his children might rejoice;
What He tells you in the darkness,
Songs He gives you in the night —
Rise and speak it in the morning;
Rise and sing them in the light!

Ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (1 Cor. 1:26‑31)

Where’er worlds are or soon shall be,
Each thing shall sing God’s praise,
For He by whom each dawn is made
Shall rule o’er all our days.

With their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, Thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear Thy words, but they do them not. (Ezek. 33:31‑32)

Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. (Matt. 7:21)

Oh lovely attitude! He stands
With open heart and outstretched hands;
Oh matchless kindness! And He shows
His matchless kindness to His foes.

Admit Him, for the human breast
Ne’er entertained so kind a guest;
Admit Him, or the hour’s at hand
When at His door denied you’ll stand.

Account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you. (2 Peter 3:15)

That they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Tim. 2:10)

We follow Thee, our guide,
   Who didst salvation bring:
We follow Thee, through grace
      supplied
   From heaven’s eternal spring:
Till of the prize possessed,
   We hear of war no more,
And, oh sweet thought! Forever rest
   On yonder, peaceful shore.

Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightiest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? (Prov. 22:20‑21)

Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. (Luke 24:45)

Thy lips the Father’s name to us reveal;
What burning power in all Thy words we
   feel,
When to our raptured hearts we hear Thee
   tell
The heavenly glories which Thou know’st so
   well.

If here on earth the thoughts of Jesus’ love
Lift our poor hearts this weary world above,
What hallelujahs will His presence raise?
What but one loud, eternal burst of praise?

Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you. (John 15:16)

I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked. (1 Kings 3:13)

The One who watches over you,
Who notes the sparrow’s fall,
His ear is open to your prayer,
To hear you when you call.

Then bring to Him in simple prayer,
Petitions large or small;
He’ll show you great and mighty things,
And answer when you call.

When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Gal. 4:4‑5)

In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power. (Col. 2:9‑10)

Soon as the reign of sin began,
The light of mercy dawned on man,
When God announced the blessed news,
“The woman’s seed thy head shall bruise.”

Complete in power when He arose,
And burst the bands of all His foes;
Then captive led captivity,
And took for us His seat on high.

He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them. (Mark 6:48)

He went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased. (Mark 6:51)

God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof. For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; to make the weight for the winds; and He weigheth the waters by measure. (Job 28:23‑25)

And there was calm! O Savior, I have proved
That Thou to help and save art really near:
How else this quiet rest from grief and fear
And all distress? The burden not removed,
I must go forth to bear it as before,
But, leaning on Thine arm, I dread its
weight no more.

The promise of life which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim. 1:1)

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:4)

Our Father, Thy promise we earnestly
   claim,
The sanctified heart that shall hallow
   Thy name;
Both in us and by us Thy purpose be
   wrought,
In word and in action, in spirit and
   thought;
And Thou canst enable us thus to fulfill,
With holy rejoicing, Thy glorious will.

He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God. (Job 33:27‑29)

O Lord, Thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Psa. 30:3)

Where shall our wondering souls
begin?
How shall we all to heaven aspire?
As slaves redeemed from death and sin,
As brands plucked from eternal fire,
How shall we suited triumphs raise,
Or sing our great Deliver’s praise?

We know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (1 Cor. 13:9‑10)

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1)

Holy hour — just on the border
   Of that wondrous day,
When the former things have vanished,
   Old things passed away;
Nothing but Himself before us,
   Every shadow past —
Sound we loud our word of witness:
   We are home at last.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. (Psa. 92:13‑14)

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psa. 1:3)

Before I leave the desert land
   For meadows of immortal flowers,
Lead me where streams at Thy command
   Flow by the borders of the hours,
That when the thirsty come, I may
   Show them the fountains in the way;
O love of God, do this for me:
   Maintain a constant victory.

Awake, each saint, in joyful lays,
To sing the great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from thee:
His loving-kindness, oh how free!

Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell our way oppose;
He safely leads His saints along:
His loving-kindness, oh how strong!

What is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. (Eph. 1:19‑21)

Exalted, by the Father’s love,
All thrones and powers and names
above,
At God’s right hand in heaven:
Wisdom and riches, power divine,
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine —
All things to Thee are given.

Thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. (Job 11:17)

He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. (Psa. 37:6)

If we could see beyond today
   As God can see;
If all the clouds should roll away,
   The shadows flee,
O’er present griefs we would not fret;
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
   For you and me.

What shall he leave his sons?
He has no land nor gold nor silver to
bequeath,
But this he can:
The holy garments of a righteous man,
The fair example of a life well spent,
Of faithful duties in the sacred tent,
Of ever-prayerful heart and reverent mind —
What nobler gifts could father leave behind?

Do all things without murmurings and disputing: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. (Phil. 2:14‑17)

In Jesus Himself (the Father’s delight),
The saints, without blame, appear in God’s
   sight;
In Jesus, free grace all blessings secures;
We know and rejoice that all things are ours;
And God from His purpose will never
   remove,
But love us, and bless us, and “rest in His
   love.”
