Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. (Heb. 13:3)

Whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. (1 Cor. 12:26)

Let us think of one another
As the moments come and go;
Just a thought of kind remembrance
As we hurry to and fro.

Let us pray for one another;
How we need each other’s prayers,
In this world of sin and sorrow,
With its worries and its cares.

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. (Eccl. 3:15)

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. (Eccl. 11:9)

Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace. (Job 22:21)

You can choose eternal anguish,
Live the life that suits you best,
Turn your back on heavenly treasures,
Vainly seek for peace and rest.

But the Savior died on Calvary,
And His pardon you may know;
While the Spirit now is striving,
To the Lord for peace now go.

The Lord hath made all things for Himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. (Prov. 16:4)

The Lord reigneth, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. (Psa. 93:1)

The heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself. Selah. (Psa. 50:6)

King of glory, set on high,
Girt with strength and majesty,
We Thy holy name confess;
Thee with adoration bless.

We shall see Thy glory soon,
When the work of grace is done,
Partners of Thy throne above;
Such to us Thy wondrous love!

I also labor, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightily. (Col. 1:29)

Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. (Acts 18:5)

We would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life. (2 Cor. 1:8)

Pressed out of measure and pressed to all
length;
Pressed so intensely it seems, beyond
strength;
Pressed into knowing no helper but God;
Pressed into loving the staff and the rod;
Pressed into living a life for the Lord;
Pressed into living a Christ-life outpoured.

When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth! (Psa. 8:1,3,7‑9)

Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power;
Their motions speak Thy skill:
And on the wings of every hour,
We read Thy patience still.

Part of Thy name divinely stands
On every work impressed;
Each is the labor of Thy hands;
By each Thy power’s confessed.

THE PLACE where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. (John 19:20)

He touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with Him. And He said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. (Gen. 32:25,28)

Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (Acts 9:4‑5)

The hand of God hath touched me. (Job 19:21)

A single touch of a gentle hand,
A single word of a winsome voice —
Which changes a life at His command;
To follow Christ — God’s perfect choice.

I BESEECH you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (1 Cor. 1:10)

I BESEECH you that ye would confirm your love toward him. (2 Cor. 2:8)

This same spirit of heaven above;
That He may behold in His children below,
Every soul knit together in love.

Our Savior BESEECHES us ever to show
   This, the greatest of all virtues given;
For by love to each other shall other men
      know
   The heart of our Father in heaven.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)

Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. (John 6:28‑29)

He answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (Acts 8:37)

Only through the blood of Jesus
Can the guilty soul have peace;
Only through the death of Jesus
Satan’s captives find release.

Beloved, hear the matchless story;
Listen simply and believe;
From the risen Lord in glory,
Life, eternal life, receive.

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom. (2 Tim. 4:1)

The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:7)

   Tempted and tried!
   The Savior who died
Has called you to suffer and reign by His
      side;
   His cross you shall bear,
   And a crown you will wear,
And no parting from Him, as His glory
      you’ll share.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father. (1 Thess. 1:3)

My beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Cor. 15:58)

Hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name’s sake hast labored, and hast not fainted. (Rev. 2:3)

Then every little service
   Of hand or pen or voice
Becomes, if He has asked it,
   The service of my choice;
And from my own desires
   It’s not so hard to part,
If once I know I follow so
   His wiser will and heart.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people, and praise Him in the assembly of the elders. (Psa. 107:21,32)

Stand up and bless the Lord your God forever and ever: and blessed be Thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. (Neh. 9:5)

How rich the character He bears,
And all the form of love He wears,
Exalted on the throne;
In songs of sweet, untiring praise,
We e’er would sing His perfect ways,
And make His glories known.

What could have been done more to My vineyard, that I have not done in it? (Isa. 5:4)

The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Matt. 20:28)

There came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mark 1:11)

O blessed Lord, what hast Thou done?
How vast a ransom given?
Thyself of God the eternal Son,
The Lord of earth and heaven.

To us Thy cross with all its shame,
With all its grace be given;
Though earth disowns Thy lowly name,
God honors it in heaven.

Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: to set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. (Job 5:10‑11)

Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe. (Psa. 119:117)

Let Thine hand help me. (Psa. 119:173)

Great is our Lord, of great power;
   All things are upheld by His hand;
The universe moves at His bidding,
   Or is stilled at His slightest command;
Yet more than these marvels transcendent
   This wonder of wonders I see —
That the God of such infinite greatness
   Should help and protect even me.

It is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for WELL DOING, than for evildoing. (1 Peter 3:17)

So is the will of God, that with WELL DOING ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. (1 Peter 2:15)

Let us not be weary in WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal. 6:9)

In Thy presence we are happy;
   In Thy presence we’re secure;
In Thy presence all afflictions
   We can easily endure;
In Thy presence we can conquer,
   We can suffer, we can die;
Wandering from Thee we are feeble;
   Let Thy love, Lord, keep us nigh.

Jesus of Nazareth … went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed … for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day. (Acts 10:38‑40)

I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved. (1 Cor. 15:1‑2)

Nothing but the name of Jesus
Can avail in danger’s hour;
Nothing but the name of Jesus,
When the clouds of trouble lower.

Jesus died — your condemnation,
All your sin and guilt He bore,
Conquered death in resurrection,
Lives in heaven to die no more.

And faith takes up the happy strain;

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. (Psa. 1:1‑2)

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. (1 Tim. 4:15)

We need to go at early morn
Before the break of day,
Before the hours are spent or worn,
To seek a place to pray.

We need the solitary place
For study, thought and prayer:
We need the strength and added grace
He gives while kneeling there.

Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this Man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise. (Luke 23:40‑43)

The dying thief beheld that Lamb
Expiring by his side,
And proved the value of the name
Of Jesus crucified.

To Him, then, let our songs ascend,
Who stooped in grace so low:
To Christ, the Lamb, the sinner’s friend,
Let ceaseless praises flow.

That great High Priest above,
Who bears us on His SHOULDERS
And on His heart of love.

Saved in that only refuge,
Where every soul may hide;
Saved from this world of evil,
With Christ our crucified.

I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus. (2 Cor. 7:4‑6)

Knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. (Rom. 5:3‑5)

Temptations press me sore, and yet I stand,
   Upheld, patient, abiding in Thy rest;
Like lifted rock, amidst the surging sea,
   Remaining firm, though often tempest
      pressed:
This is not chance, nor I; O Christ, ’tis Thou;
I worship Thee, and at Thy feet I bow.

Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, … Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. (2 Kings 5:10‑12)

Many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. (Luke 4:27)

“Go, wash in Jordan, and be clean,”
   The prophet’s message given;
But this ill suits the warrior’s mind —
   His chariot back is driven;
Then Naaman yielded, spite of pride;
   He washed and he was clean;
And all who now in Christ confide
   Are washed from every sin.

With Thy ransomed saints to reign;
Then shall end all days of mourning;
We shall sing with triumph then.

Ah, what a life is theirs who live
In Christ — vast mystery!
Reaching in heights to the heavens;
Its depths, the deepest sea!

In Christ we now meet East and West;
In Him meet South and North;
All souls in Christ are one in Him,
All souls throughout the earth.

On earth and in heaven;
How rich is Thy mercy!
How great Thy salvation!

Prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only. (1 Sam. 7:3)

They said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare? (Luke 22:9)

For Him who washed us in His blood,
Let us our sweetest songs prepare;

God,
And now preserves us by His care.

One string there is of sweetest tone,
Reserved for sinners saved by grace;
’Tis sacred to one class alone,
And touched by one peculiar race.

When the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. (Matt. 17:6‑7)

When they saw Him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: for they all saw Him, and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. (Mark 6:49‑50)

When the storms of life are raging,
   And the night is long and drear,
When our strength is spent with toiling,
   And our spirit sinks with fear,
Oft again we see Him coming,
   Swiftly hastening to our aid;
Often still we hear Him calling —
   “It is I; be not afraid!”

And now to guard what He did win
He makes Himself a fiery wall,
And stands unwearied round about
To keep the ravening lion out.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins. (Isa. 44:22)

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. (Psa. 103:12)

All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him. (Ezek. 18:22)

God who gave the blood to screen us,
God looks down in perfect love;
Clouds may seem to pass between us;
There’s no change in Him above.

Though the restless foe accuses,
Sins recounting like a flood;
Every charge our God refuses:
Christ has answered with His blood.
