The Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Pardon, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy mercy. And the Lord said, I have pardoned. (Num. 14:18‑20)
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. (Psa. 32:1)
Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb. 8:12)
Grieve about your sins no longer;
   Well I know their mighty guilt;
But My love than death is stronger;
   I My precious blood have spilt:
Though your heart has long been hardened,
   Look on Me — it soft shall grow;
Your transgressions shall be pardoned,
   And I’ll wash you white as snow.

I pray … that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (John 17:15)
Unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 24‑25)
Jesus, strength of our salvation,
None can pluck us from Thy hand;
In the hour of dark temptation,
Kept by Thee we safely stand.
Though by enemies surrounded,
Onward still our steps we wend;
All our foes shall be confounded,
Safely come our journey’s end.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. (Isa. 40:11)
He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. (Psa. 95:7)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psa. 23:1)
Follow thou Me — though stranger voices
   hail you,
I am the way and there is none beside;
There is no other staff that shall not fail you;
There is no other eye than Mine to guide;
There is no other Shepherd who can fold you
By such still waters, in such pastures fair;
There is no other arm can safely hold you
In doubt and danger, darkness and despair.

I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto Thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy. (Psa. 59:16‑17)
Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. (Ex. 15:21)
Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise
The blessings of redeeming grace;
Jesus, our everlasting tower,
Mocks at the angry tempest’s roar.
His love’s a refuge ever nigh;
His watchfulness, a mountain high;
His name’s a rock, which winds above
Nor waves below can ever move.

Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. And after eight days again His disciples were within and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God. (John 20:24‑26,28)
Christ is all, and in all. (Col. 3:11)
O blessed Savior, is Thy love
   So great, so full, so free?
Fain would we have our thoughts, our hearts,
   Our lives engaged with Thee.
We praise, we worship, we adore,
   As round Thyself we meet;
Thy beauty, Lord, our souls transports,
   While bowing at Thy feet.

My soul fainteth for Thy salvation: but I hope in Thy word. (Psa. 119:81)
They that fear Thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in Thy word. (Psa. 119:74)
When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. (Matt. 17:8)
Fill all my vision, Savior, I pray;
Let me see only Jesus today;
Though through the valley, Thou leadest
   me,
Thy everlasting love encircles me.
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.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Deut. 11:18‑19)
They spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. (Acts 16:32)
A home is sweet, though rich or poor,
   If Jesus dwells within —
Abiding in our hearts and lives
   And overcoming sin;
Then bringing heaven’s sunshine down
   To cheer us on our way,
And lead us through this toilsome world
   To heaven’s golden day.

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. (Prov. 17:15)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness. (Isa. 5:20)
The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ … should shine unto them. (2 Cor. 4:4)
Who is among you … that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. (Isa. 50:10)
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
   No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
   And life more abundant and free!

He will be our GUIDE even unto death. (Psa. 48:14)
Thou shalt GUIDE me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. (Psa. 73:24)
Most merciful High Priest,
Our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
’Tis in Thy love alone we trust
      Until the end.
Thou wilt our souls sustain,
Our GUIDE and strength wilt be,
Until in glory Lord above,
      Thy face we see.

We have great joy and consolation in thy love, because … the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. (Philem. 7)
Now abideth faith, hope, charity [love], these three; but the greatest of these is charity [love]. (1 Cor. 13:13)
O Savior, who didst always find
The way into the clouded mind,
Oh make me wise to find the way
To help the soul for whom I pray.
Give me the love that will not fail,
The hope that no rebuff can quail,
Thine insight — penetrating, clear —
Thy tender touch, direct, sincere.

I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised. (Psa. 18:1‑3)
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. (Judg. 5:3)
I shall yet praise Him for victory given;
Though fierce the sifting, His prayer cannot fail;
Till the fourth watch He may leave me in
   darkness;
Then clouds shall lift and the light shall prevail.
I shall yet praise Him who knoweth my
   pathway,
For all His leading through desert and sea,
For the sure promise that standeth forever,
For all His purpose fulfilled unto me.

When Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Matt. 7:28‑29)
Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. (John 19:14‑15)
Man the cross to Him awarded;
   Man the Savior crucified;
This world’s judgment stands recorded,
   God’s own justice satisfied!
      By the glory
Christ was claimed on earth who died.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
Fear not … be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. (Joel 2:21)
Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee. (Luke 8:39)
In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — peace;
The heart of the whirlwind where its roarings
   cease,
A sweet fountain rising out of Marah’s tide,
A spring of rejoicing that is never dried.
In the world, tribulation, trials all around,
For on earth no resting and no joy are found;
Let us flee unto Jesus where all sorrows cease;
Here alone is gladness; here alone is peace.

Whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. (Prov. 3:12)
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth. (Job 5:17)
O Lord, correct me, but with judgment. (Jer. 10:24)
My Father, let the sorrows come
That blotted out the sunlit skies,
That stopped the toil of busy hands
And turned my laughter into sighs.
If He had left me to myself,
I know the joys I should have lost,
The good that I had lacked or missed,
How much I gained, how small the
   cost.

Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you. (Isa. 59:2)
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins. (Acts 26:18)
God so loved this world of sinners
That He sent His only Son,
Saying, whosoe’er accepts Him
Everlasting life has won!
All have sinned, He tells us plainly,
All in judgment thus condemned,
But God’s Christ has suffered for us;
Righteous judgment thus He stemmed.

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be BLAMELESS in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 1:8)
The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 5:23)
Beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and BLAMELESS. (2 Peter 3:14)
Do Thou, the very God of peace,
   Us wholly sanctify,
And grant us such a rich increase
   Of power from on high,
That spirit, soul and body may,
   Preserved free from stain,
Be BLAMELESS until that great day;
   Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

All the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Cor. 1:20)
Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Phil. 1:6)
The work which His goodness began,
   The arm of His strength will
      complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen,
   And never was forfeited yet:
Things future, nor things that are
      now,
   Nor all things below nor above,
Can make Him His purpose forego,
   Or sever our souls from His love.

The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. (Psa. 119:72)
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psa. 19:9‑11)
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine;
   And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in the mighty depths
   For every searcher there.
Oh, may I love Thy precious Word;
   May I explore the mine;
May I its fragrant flowers glean;
   May light upon me shine.

He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. (Isa. 53:9)
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: he went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. (Matt. 27:57‑60)
Lord of life! to death once subject;
   Blesser, yet a curse once made;
Of Thy Father’s heart the object,
   Yet in depths of anguish laid.

Fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee. (Gen. 26:24)
Fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. (Gen. 50:21)
Good is the word of the Lord. (Isa. 39:8)
The Savior can strengthen the
   weary;
His grace is sufficient for all;
He knows every step of the pathway,
And listens to hear when we call.
The Savior can solve every problem,
The tangles of life can undo;
There is nothing too hard for Jesus;
There is nothing that He cannot do.

These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work. (1 Chron. 4:23)
Whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. (Eccl. 10:8)
I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2 Cor. 11:3)
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Prov. 4:23)
Strength of my heart, I need not fail —
   Not mine to fear but to obey;
With such a Savior, who could quail?
   Thou art as Thou wast yesterday!
Strength of my heart, I rest in Thee;
Fulfill Thy purposes in me.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. (Prov. 5:22‑23)
When Jesus heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Matt. 9:12‑13)
Hear His love and mercy speaking —
   Come and trust your soul with Me,
Though your heart for sin be breaking,
   I have rest and peace for thee.
Every sin shall be forgiven;
   You, through grace, a child shall be;
Child of God, and heir of heaven,
   Yes, a mansion waits for thee.

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold. (Job 19:25‑27)
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1 Cor. 15:55)
Soon shall we see His face
   With all the saints above,
And sing forever of His grace,
   Forever of His love.
’Tis freedom to the slave;
   ’Tis light and liberty;
It takes its terror from the grave,
   From death its victory.

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant. (Psa. 25:14)
I am my beloved’s, and His desire is toward me. (Song of Sol. 7:10)
To know that I have loved thee. (Rev. 3:9)
Oh to have me there beside Him
   In the love and light,
There to tell my heart how precious
   Am I in His sight.
There His heart’s deep love
      disclosing,
   Told in words divine;
I have known His joy in saying,
   “Thou art ever Mine.”

The four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. (Rev. 5:8)
Another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. (Rev. 8:3‑4)
And now we draw near to the throne of grace,
   For His blood and the Priest are there;
And we joyfully seek God’s holy face,
   With our censer of praise and prayer;
The burning mount and the mystic veil,
   With our terrors and guilt, are gone;
Our conscience has peace that can never fail:
   ’Tis the Lamb on high on the throne.

The Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread: and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. (1 Cor. 11:23‑26)
We will be glad and rejoice in Thee, we will remember Thy love. (Song of Sol. 1:4)
We know Thee now exalted high,
   Ourselves in Thee accepted;
We wait the hour which now draws nigh,
   Thy coming long expected;
Till Thou dost come we still would be
With grateful hearts remembering Thee.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble. (Jer. 31:9)
He … shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them. (Isa. 49:10)
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. (Psa. 23:2)
All the way my Savior leads me,
   Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
   Feeds me with the living bread;
Though my weary steps may falter,
   And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
   Lo! a spring of joy I see.

Feed my sheep. (John 21:16)

Good Shepherd, over whom no foe

   To whom the least of wandering lambs
      is known,
Grant us Thy love that wearieth not nor
      faileth;
   Grant us to seek Thy wayward sheep
      that roam
   Far on the moor, until we find and fold
      them
   Safe in the love of Thee, their own true

Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works’ sake. (John 14:11)
This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. (John 17:3)
If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins. (John 8:24)
The Father sent the Son
   A ruined world to save;
Man meted out the Sinless One
   The cross — the grave;
Blest Substitute from God,
   Wrath’s awful cup He drained;
Laid down His life, and e’en the tomb’s
   Reproach sustained.
