Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. (1 Tim. 4:13)

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (1 Tim. 4:6)

Where the word of a king is, there is power. (Eccl. 8:4)

Word of the everlasting God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without it how could earth be trod,
Or heaven itself be won?

Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts;
And to its heavenly teaching turn,
With simple, childlike hearts.

My tongue shall speak of Thy word: for all Thy commandments are righteousness. (Psa. 119:172)

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season … with all long-suffering and doctrine. (2 Tim. 4:2)

Out of your mouth … that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. (Eph. 4:29)

Give us zeal and faith and fervor,
   Make us winning, make us wise,
Single-hearted, strong and fearless,
   Thou hast called us; we will rise!
Let the might of Thine instruction
   Go with every loving word;
And by hearts prepared and opened
   Be our message always heard!

They sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because He is good, for His mercy endureth forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. (Ezra 3:11)

The people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off. (Ezra 3:13)

We praise the Lord; we praise the Lord,
   Glad children of His heritage;
We do rejoice with one accord
   That He to save us did engage;
The Lord our God great things has
      done:
He gave us His beloved Son.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (Matt. 13:44)

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. (Song of Sol. 8:7)

The Son — He left God’s throne above
(So free, so infinite His grace!)
Emptied Himself, and then in love
Bled for our lost, our ruined race:
’Tis mercy, all beyond our thought,
That us to God in Jesus brought.

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant. (1 Kings 8:56)

Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope. (Psa. 119:49)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (Heb. 13:8)

I promise you —
That I, to whom the pillars of earth belong,
Will bear you up and keep your spirit strong;
That none shall add a furlong to the mile
That you must travel through this little
while;
That though it tarry, yet the day shall come
When I return and call you to My home.

Four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. (Gen. 47:24)

Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth. (Job 39:4)

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. (1 Peter 2:2)

The soul of a child is the loveliest flower
That grows in the garden of God;
Its climb is from weakness to knowledge and
power,
Through the feeding on God’s wondrous Word.

To beauty and sweetness it grows under care;
Neglected, ’tis ragged and wild;
’Tis a plant that is tender but wondrously rare,
The sweet, wistful soul of a child.

All they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him: and none can keep alive his own soul. (Psa. 22:29)

Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Rom. 14:11)

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. (Psa. 95:6)

Look up, lift up your eyes, and see
Your Savior on the throne;
Find all your joy — delight in Him;
He is your strength alone.

He’s risen, ascended, glorified,
Exalted, seated now
At God’s right hand — the worthy one,
That every knee should bow.

Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (2 Tim. 1:9)

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: that we should be to the praise of his glory. (Eph. 1:11‑12)

God, in Thee His love unfolding,
   Shows how vast, how rich His grace;
Blest our lot, with joy beholding
   All His glory in Thy face;
Oh! the mercy which has blessed us,
   Purposed thus ere time began,
Mercy which in Thee has kept us,
   Where His blessed race He ran.

The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. (Ex. 36:5,7)

He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (2 Cor. 9:6,8)

Although our hearts are weak and faithless,
   We love Him with love divine —
With a love that is true and scatheless,
   For it is not ours, but Thine;
Our God, of Thine own we give Thee,
   And Thine is the golden store —
What are we that we thus can offer,
   Can thus adore!

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. (Judg. 5:1‑2)

The people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord. (1 Chron. 29:9)

All that we are, and all we have,
Shall be forever Thine;
And all a cheerful heart could give,
Our willing hands resign.

And could we yet make some reserve,
And duty did not call,
We love Thee, Lord, with such a love,
That we would give it all.

He sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And without shedding of blood is no remission. (Heb. 9:21‑22)

All things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 5:18)

A mind at “perfect peace” with God:
Oh, what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled through blood:
This, this indeed is peace!

By nature and by practice far,
   How very far from God!
Yet now by grace brought nigh to
      Him,
   Through faith in Jesus’ blood.

Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive Him: on the left hand, where He doth work, but I cannot behold Him: He hideth Himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him: but He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:8‑10)

He that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. (Job 36:4)

Just wait upon the Lord and you will know
The reasons for the way you suffered so;
He only seeks your faith in Him to prove
And teach you more about His wondrous love.

Your darkest night will someday pass away
Since you have put your trust in Him and
pray;
He promised He would see you safely through,
And every promise in His Word is true.

Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. (2 Sam. 15:15)

David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. (1 Chron. 15:16)

Sing of the gentle Savior
In the simplest hymns you know,
And the pain-dimmed eye will brighten
As the soothing verses flow.

Sing till you bear them with you
Into a holy calm,
And the sacred tones have scattered
Manna and myrrh and balm.

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? (Psa. 89:48)

Man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? (Job 14:10)

Some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? (1 Cor. 15:35)

He that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. (Rom. 6:7‑8)

They who simply trust the Savior —
Who by faith believe —
Everlasting life and pardon
Shall receive.

They shall never, ever perish,
Never judgment know;
As their eyes close in death, they to
Heaven go.

Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end. (John 13:1)

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. (John 13:7)

Let not your heart be troubled. (John 14:1)

Yes, walk by faith and not by sight,
   Fast clinging to My hand;
Content to feel My love and might,
   Not yet to understand;
A little while your course pursue,
   Till grace to glory grow;
Then what I am and what I do,
   Hereafter you shall know.

The weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Cor. 1:25)

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phil. 4:13)

Without Me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5)

I could not do without Thee!
   I cannot stand alone,
I have no strength or goodness,
   No wisdom of my own;
But Thou, beloved Savior,
   Art all in all to me;
And weakness will be power,
   If leaning hard on Thee.

That is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it: the princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it. (Num. 21:16‑18)

He sendeth out His word … and the waters flow. (Psa. 147:18)

Is the wilderness before thee,
   Desert land where drought abides?
Heavenly springs shall there restore
      thee,
   Fresh from God’s exhaustless tides.

Light divine surrounds thy going;
God Himself shall mark thy way;
Secret blessings, richly flowing,
Lead to everlasting day.

I said, Behold Me, behold Me. (Isa. 65:1)

When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. (Luke 23:33)

All His acquaintance … stood afar off, beholding these things. (Luke 23:49)

Looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus … on the right hand of God. (Acts 7:55)

When we see Thee as the victim
Nailed to the accursed tree,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
All our judgment borne by Thee.

Lamb of God! Thou now art seated
High upon Thy Father’s throne,
All Thy gracious work completed,
All Thy mighty victory won.

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. (Psa. 55:8)

Thou hast been … a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. (Isa. 25:4)

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so He bringeth them unto their desired haven. (Psa. 107:29‑30)

In the morning watch, neath the lifted cloud,
   You shall see but the Lord alone,
Where He leads you on from the place by the
      sea,
   To a land that you have not known;
And your fears shall pass as your foes have
      passed;
   You shall be no more afraid;
You shall sing His praise in a better place,
   A place that His hand has made.

O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves? (Matt. 16:8)

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11:1)

Who through faith … obtained promises. (Heb. 11:33)

Reason unstrings the harp
   To see wherein the music dwells;
Faith pours a Hallelujah song,
   And heavenly rapture swells;
While reason strives to count the
      drops
   That bathe our narrow strand,
Faith launches o’er the mighty deep,
   To seek a better land.

How can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? (Matt. 12:29)

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. (Psa. 107:14)

The same [John] came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (John 1:7,9)

Leave behind the doubting spirit,
And your crushing load of sin;
By your mighty Savior’s merit,
Life eternal you shall gain.

Leave the darkness gathering o’er you;
Leave the shadow-land behind;
Realms of glory lie before you;
Enter in, and welcome find.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. (1 Cor. 2:9)

Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. (Rev. 4:1)

Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard,
Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the Father has prepared
For those that love the Son.

Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (John 10:27)

Made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. (Psa. 78:52)

In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. (Isa. 30:23)

Hail! All hail! Thou peaceful country
   Of eternal calm;
Summer land of milk and honey,
   Where the streams are balm;
There the Lord my shepherd leads me,
   Wheresoe’er He will;
In the fresh green pastures feeds me,
   By the waters still.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember Thee in Thy ways. (Isa. 64:5)

Remember His marvelous works that He hath done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth. (Psa. 105:5)

We will remember the name of the Lord our God. (Psa. 20:7)

His faithfulness, forever sure,
For endless ages will endure;
His perfect work will ever prove
The depths of His unchanging love.

While all things change, He changes
not,
Nor e’er forgets, though oft forgot;
His love’s unchangeably the same,
And as enduring as His name.

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. (Isa. 9:2)

The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5)

God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5)

Ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)

Thou the light that showed our sin,
Showed how guilty we had been:
Thine the love that us to save
Thine own Son for sinners gave;
Called to share the rest of God
In the Father’s blest abode,
God of love, and God of light,
In Thy praises we unite.

The ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water. (Matt. 14:24,27‑28)

The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. (Nah. 1:3)

He gives you peace!
Though storms may rage — the billows roll
And beat upon your weary soul;
Though skies be dark and overcast,
The storm will not forever last;
Your loving Father knows your heart;
He sees the tears that often start;
With arms outstretched He yearns for thee
To come to Him that you might see —
He gives you peace!

What! know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Cor. 6:19)

Ye belong to Christ. (Mark 9:41)

Ye are bought with a price. (1 Cor. 7:23)

“Not your own!” but His by right,
   His peculiar treasure now,
Fair and precious in His sight,
   Purchased jewels for His brow;
He will keep what thus He sought,
   Safely guard the dearly bought,
Cherish that which He did choose,
   Always love and never lose.

Therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom. 1:17)

That no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (Gal. 3:11)

The just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him. (Heb. 10:38)

Faith is a very simple thing,
Though little understood;
It frees the soul from death’s dread sting,
By resting on the blood.

Faith is not what we see or feel;
It is a simple trust
In what the God of love has said
Of Jesus as the just.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. (Psa. 116:15)

Thou hast made him most blessed forever: Thou hast made him exceeding glad with Thy countenance. (Psa. 21:6)

’Tis sweet to think of those at rest,
Who sleep in Christ the Lord,
Whose spirits now with Him are blest,
According to His Word.

They once were pilgrims here with us;
In Jesus now they sleep:
And we, for those who now rest thus,
As others cannot weep.

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Eph. 4:6)

In Thee I trust, on Thee I rest,
O Savior dear, Redeemer blest!
No earthly friend, no brother knows
My weariness, my wants, my woes.

Thy power, Thy love, Thy faithfulness,
   With lip and life I long to bless;
Thy faithfulness shall be my tower,
   My sun Thy love, my shield Thy
