Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. (Obad. 17,21)
I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Rev. 19:6)
Soon righteousness shall rule,
   All Satan’s power restrain:
Jesus Jehovah be the King,
   O’er Jews and Gentiles reign.
Jesus Himself shall come,
   The world receive His word;
And all creation own His sway —
   The universal Lord.

For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Cor. 9:10)
Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. (Rom. 15:4)
Oh, wonderful scriptures, the Word of the
      Lord!
   True wisdom its pages unfold,
And though we may read them a thousand
      times o’er,
   They never, no never, grow old!
Each line has a treasure, each promise a pearl,
   That all if they will may secure;
And we know that when time and the world
      pass away,
   God’s Word shall forever endure.

Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh … and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if Thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of Thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget Thine handmaid, but wilt give unto Thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life. (1 Sam. 1:9‑11)
Hannah … bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord. (1 Sam. 1:20)
For this child I prayed — his growing
   years
Make pure and true and brave and strong;
Protect him with Thy love and power
To choose the right and conquer wrong.

Jesus went with them. (Luke 7:6)
Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? (Luke 24:32)
Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself … comfort your hearts. (2 Thess. 2:16‑17)
The road is dreary and rough and long
   And our eyes with tears are dim;
But One has come and beside us walks,

      cheer
   He whispers along the way,
And our very hearts within us burn
   Neath their blessed healing ray.

Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it. … Ye murmured in your tents, and said … Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart. … The Lord your God which goeth before you, He shall fight for you. … Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God. … Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him. (Deut. 1:21,27‑28,30,32,38)
Savior, through the desert lead us;
   Without Thee we cannot go;
Thou from cruel chains hast freed us,
   And hast laid the tyrant low.
Through a desert waste and cheerless,
   Though our destined journey lie,
Rendered by Thy presence fearless,
   We may every foe defy.

Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:14)
They that were ready went in … and the door was shut. (Matt. 25:10)
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)
Hark! the voice of Jesus calling —
“Come, ye laden, come to Me;
I have rest and peace to offer,
Rest, thou laboring one, for thee.
Soon that voice will cease its calling,
Now it speaks, and speaks to thee:
Sinner, heed the gracious message;
To His side for refuge flee:
Take salvation — take it now and happy be.

Lord Jesus, come!
Crowned with Thy many crowns —
The Crucified, the Lamb once slain,
To wash away sin’s crimson stain.

Lord Jesus, all Thy members are;
A life divine to them is given —
The bright inheritance of heaven.

God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5)
How pleasant is the sound of praise!
It well becomes the saints of God:
Should we refuse our songs to raise,
The stones might tell our shame abroad.
Lord, we adore the wondrous love
Which brought Thee here to bleed and die;
Soon will we meet in heaven above
To sing Thy praises in the sky.

   His own anointed One;
In Thee alone He finds delight,
   His well-belovèd Son.

   to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters I call you to
   go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with you your trials to bless,
And sanctify to you your deepest distress.

His own image clear and shining.

   Our longing spirits cry
To Thee, the Lord of heaven and earth,

   Though glittering be the spark;
Thou only art our heart’s desire,
   Art light where all is dark.

Prayer gives the burdened spirit ease,
   And soothes the troubled breast;
Yields comfort to the mourners here,

   He has an ear to hear;
To Him there’s music in a groan,
   And beauty in a tear.

And couldst Thou be delighted
   With creatures such as we,
Who, when we saw Thee, slighted
   And nailed Thee to a tree?
Unfathomable wonder!
   And mystery divine!
The voice that speaks in thunder
   Says, “Sinner, I am thine!”

   Throughout the evil day;
Leave no unguarded place,
   No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
   And fortify the whole;
Jesus has died for you;
   Attend with constant care,
Still walking in your Captain’s view,
   And watching unto prayer.

Everlasting life receive;
Lord of all is Jesus now;
Every knee to Him must bow.

And earth and time for me are past,
When in His likeness I awake
I shall be satisfied at last.

They are God’s billows, whether we are toiling
Through tempest-driven waves that never cease,
While deep to deep with clamor loud is calling,
Or at His word they hush themselves in peace.

   them;
So has He promised, so His love will do;
Keeping and leading, guiding and upholding,
To His sure harbor, He will bring us through.

Nothing good that I have done,
   Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

How great our joy to see Thee shine,
To hear Thee own us, Lord, as Thine.

His grace, and His glory and beauty,
   In the depth of His love to me.

   Until no want we know,
And then He sends a little more

He opens wide His hand of love;
   He gives no stingy dole;
His tender mercies crown our days:
   Oh bless the Lord, my soul!
