| There fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity. (1 Chron. 5:22) |
| If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses. (Eccl. 10:4) |
| Submit yourselves therefore to God. (James 4:7) |
Oh blows that smite! Oh hurts that pierce This shrinking heart of mine! What are they but the Master’s tools Forming a work divine? |
Sculptor of souls! I lift to Thee Encumbered heart and hands; Spare not the chisel; set me free, However dear the bands. |
