It came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. (Ex. 34:29)

They marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13)

Fill all my vision; let naught of sin
Shadow the brightness shining within;
Let me see only Thy blessed face,
Feasting my soul on Thy infinite grace.

Fill all my vision, Savior divine,
Till with Thy glory my spirit shall shine;
Fill all my vision, that all may see
Thy holy image reflected in me.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul. (Eccl. 6:1‑2)

Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world. (Psa. 73:12)

It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Luke 18:25,27)

Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
With a name renowned both far and near,
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer;
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
Could then all the world afford a refuge
Whither in my anguish I might flee?

There shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face. (Rev. 22:3‑4)

There is a wondrous city, beautiful, bright
   and fair;
The throne of God is in it and the glory of
   God is there;
And oh, the joy of knowing, as the Lord’s
   redeemed can know,
While through the tribulations of this
   earthly life they go,
There shall be no more toiling; there shall
   be no more curse;
There shall be no more crying, hunger, fears
   or thirst;
There shall be no more burdens, grievous
   and hard to bear;
There shall be no more heartache, through
   the eternal years!

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth. (Prov. 11:24)

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. (Eccl. 11:6)

They that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word. (Acts 8:4)

In the morning sow your seed,
   Nor stay your hand at evening hour,
Never asking which shall prosper —
   Both may yield you fruit and flower;
You shall reap of that you’ve sown;
   Though your grain be small and bare,
God shall clothe it as He pleases
   For the harvest full and fair.

The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. (Ex. 15:2)

The Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. (Isa. 5:16)

Soon shall the saints, exalted high,
A glorious anthem raise;
And all that dwell beneath the sky
Speak forth Thine endless praise.

Redeemed creation join in one,
To adore the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to exalt the Lamb.

Pilate … took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matt. 27:24‑25)

One of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. (John 19:34‑35)

Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced Thy side
Drew forth the blood to save.

Lord, while our souls in faith repose
Upon Thy precious blood,
Peace like an even river flows,
And mercy, like a flood.

The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. (2 Chron. 16:9)

Know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him. (Psa. 4:3)

I will not be afraid, for I know
   That He keepeth me safe from harm,
And He shall defend His own
   With a strong and a stretched-out arm;
Though I grope in perilous paths
   In darkness and danger and doubt,
I know as He brought me in,
   So He surely will bring me out;
I will trust and not be afraid —
   I have seen, I have heard, I have known,
This mighty and wonderful God
   Has called me and made me His own.

Thou shalt furnish him LIBERALLY out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. (Deut. 15:14)

How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their LIBERALITY. That now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want. (2 Cor. 8:2,14)

They glorify God … for your LIBERAL distribution unto them, and unto all men. (2 Cor. 9:13)

The LIBERAL soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (Prov. 11:25)

When I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear. (Isa. 65:12)

It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isa. 65:24)

To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word. (Isa. 66:2)

Now no barrier to hinder,
Jesus has removed it all;
God can in His Son receive you —
Answer then His loving call.

Let your soul delight the Savior
By submitting to His love;
And in everlasting favor,
You shall dwell with Him above.

We, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? (1 Thess. 2:17,19)

Then let us, brethren, while on earth,
With foes and strangers mixed,
Be mindful of our heavenly birth,
Our thoughts on glory fixed.

That we should glorify Him here
Our Father’s purpose is:
Whene’er the Savior shall appear,
He’ll fully own us His.

Where love has found its rest;
And, FILLED with Thee, the constant mind
Eternally is blest.

I love the Lord because He hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. (Psa. 116:1‑5)

He giveth songs in the night of our sorrow,
   When tears are our drink and when grief is
      our meat,
Till we silence our weeping and still our
      repining
   To list to those cadences sweet.

Give us Thy songs, O Thou Maker of music!
   Teach us to sing, O Thou Bringer of joy!
Till nothing can silence the notes of our
      triumph
   And naught our rejoicing destroy!

He shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not. (Lev. 16:12‑13)

Christ … hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Eph. 5:2)

We’ll praise Thee, glorious Lord,
Who died to set us free;
No earthly songs can joy afford
Like heavenly melody.

Love, that on death’s dark vale
Its sweetest odors spread,
Where sin o’er all seemed to prevail,
Redemption’s glory shed.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Deut. 31:6)

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:7)

He faints not and He shall never grow weary;
All ye that labor this comfort may take;
Be of good courage; He goes before you;
He shall not fail you, nor shall He forsake.

Forces of evil sweep onward exultant;
Even the faithful seem conquered at length;
Let us hold fast to this rock of assurance;
Let us find peace in this tower of strength.

Let nothing henceforth pain us,
   But that which paineth Thee;
Our joy, our blest endeavor,
   Through suffering, conflict, shame,
To serve Thee, gracious Savior,
   And magnify Thy name.

He who suffered once will reign;
Every tongue at last will own,
“Worthy is the Lamb” alone.

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. (Luke 21:26)

Our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil. 3:20)

We watch earth’s fiercest tumult
With awe, but not with fear;

Thy day is drawing near.

Thou goest in the sea;
We hear Thy steps approaching —
Amen; so let it be.

When the world would bid me leave Thee,
   Telling me of shame and loss,
Savior, guard me, lest I grieve Thee,
   Lest I cease to love Thy cross:
      This is treasure;
   All the rest I count but dross.

O Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thine ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who desire to fear Thy name: and prosper, I pray Thee, Thy servant this day, and grant him mercy. (Neh. 1:11)

Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord. (Psa. 119:108)

By Thee my prayers acceptance gain;
Attentive is Thine ear —
No prayer ascends to Thee in vain,
For Thou art always near.

Grace bid me live, and taught my tongue
To aim at notes divine;
And grace accepts my feeble song:
The glory, Lord, be Thine!

See the Man midst DARKNESS
      smitten!
   Why did God His Son forsake?

Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon Thee: Thou saidst, Fear not. (Lam. 3:57)

   And we tread it not alone,
For beside us walks the Son of God,
   To uphold and keep His own;
And our hearts within us thrill with joy
   At His words of love and grace,
And the blessed hope that when day is
      done,
   We shall see His blessed face.

Thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. (Isa. 54:13)

The children in a Christian home
   Are rich beyond compare;
They learn to read the Word of God
   And speak His name in prayer;
Their parents seek to lead the child
   Along the heavenward way,
To trust the Christ of Calvary
   And walk with Him each day.

The sympathizing Jesus;

Go on your way in peace to heaven,
And wear a crown with Jesus.

I go on my way rejoicing
In hope of the glory of God.

That the heavens and earth shall see
His grace, His glory and beauty,
In the depth of His love to me.

Then to worship and adore Thee,
   Lost in wonder, love and praise!
