To which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Heb. 1:13)
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule, and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. (1 Cor. 15:24‑25)
At length — the final kingdom,
No bound, no end possessing:
      When heaven and earth —
      God all in all
   Shall fill with largest blessing;
All root of evil banished,
No breath of sin to wither,
      On earth — on high —
      Naught else but joy,
   And blissful peace forever!

The Lord that is faithful … He shall choose thee. (Isa. 49:7)
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of His mouth. For thou shalt be His witness unto all men. (Acts 22:14‑15)
I have chosen you out of the world. (John 15:19)
Fear not; I have called you and named you;
   You are precious and dear unto Me;
I have chosen you, loved you and saved
      you
   My praise and My glory to be;
I have given My life for your ransom;
   My blood is the seal and the sign;
Thy Savior, Thy God, Thy Redeemer —
   Fear not; you are Mine; I am thine.

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their VOICE … and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good; for His mercy endureth forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord. (2 Chron. 5:13)
The VOICE of joy, and the VOICE of gladness, the VOICE of the bridegroom, and the VOICE of the bride, the VOICE of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts. (Jer. 33:11)
A VOICE came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. (Rev. 19:5)
O bless our God, ye people, and make the VOICE of His praise to be heard. (Psa. 66:8)

This Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God. (Heb. 10:12)
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9)
Therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. (Heb. 1:9)
Exalted, by the Father’s love,
All thrones and powers and names
      above,
   At God’s right hand in heaven:
Wisdom and riches, power divine,
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine —
   All things to Thee are given.

STAND thou STILL a while, that I may show thee the word of God. (1 Sam. 9:27)
When thou LIEST DOWN, thou shalt not be afraid. (Prov. 3:24)
SIT STILL, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall. (Ruth 3:18)
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your
   side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain;
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds
   will cease —
The voice who rules will hush them in
   peace.

David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: and blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day. (1 Sam. 25:32‑33)
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel. (Prov. 27:9)
I want to give good measure running o’er,
And into angry hearts I want to pour
The answer soft that shall turn wrath
   away,
Because I shall not pass again this way.
I want to give the oil of joy for tears,
The faith to conquer cruel doubts and
   fears,
Beauty for ashes may I give always,
Because I shall not pass again this way.

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. (John 1:41‑42)
Ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him. And they brought him to Jesus. (Luke 19:30,33‑35)
Loosed and brought alone to Jesus
   There’s no safer place to be;
Not rope nor wall nor law can hold one
   Thy constraining love has freed.
Freed at last to do Thy bidding,
   Loosed to live this life for Thee;
Not all the world again can lure me
   From Thee to captivity.

Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent His angel, and delivered His servants that trusted in Him. (Dan. 3:28)
Unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Eph. 3:20‑21)
Soon in a nobler, sweeter song
   We’ll sing Thy power to save;
No more with lisping, stammering tongue,
   But conquerors o’er the grave.
Thy counsels too in all Thine own,
   Fulfilled by power divine,
Spread wide the glory of Thy throne,
   Where all in glory shine.

God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Gen. 1:3‑4)
God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (2 Cor. 4:6‑7)
Thus, through earthen vessels only,
   Shining forth in ceaseless grace,
Reaching weary hearts and lonely,
   Beams the light of Jesus’ face;
Vessels worthless, broken, bearing
   Through the hungry ages on,
Riches given with hand unsparing,
   God’s great gift, His precious Son.

I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He hath bestowed on them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His loving-kindnesses. (Isa. 63:7)
Because Thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. (Psa. 63:3)
Awake, each saint, in joyful lays,
To sing the great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from thee:
His loving-kindness, oh how free!
Oh render thanks to God above,
The fountain of eternal love;
Whose mercy firm through ages past
Has stood, and does forever last.

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. (Eccl. 9:14‑15)
Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. (2 Cor. 8:9)
Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop;
Thence is all Thy people’s hope;
Thou wast poor, that we might be
Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee.
When we think of love like this,
Joy and shame our hearts possess;
Joy, that Thou couldst pity thus;
Shame, for such returns from us.

I was strengthened as the hand of the Lord my God was upon me. (Ezra 7:28)
There came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, and said … fear not: peace be unto thee; be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened. (Dan. 10:18‑19)
He knoweth the need of my soul —
   The trial that calls for His grace,
The weakness that leans on His strength,
   The fear that looks up to His face.
He knoweth my frame is but dust;
   He knoweth how much it can bear;
I rest in that knowledge supreme;
   I trust in His power and care.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1 Peter 5:8‑9)
The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (Rom. 16:20)
When circumstances threaten
   To rob me of my peace,
He draws me close to Himself,
   Where all my worries cease.
I cannot be defeated,
   My eyes are on my God;
He promised to be with me,
   As through this life I trod.

Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before Me, saith the Lord God. (Jer. 2:22)
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (Psa. 51:2,7)
The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)
A loving Savior He, whose blood
   Avails to cleanse from sin;
He died the mighty debt to pay
   And give thee peace within.
Come as thou art, defiled, undone,
   And wait not to improve;
His blood alone, can e’er atone
   For sin, thy guilt remove.

I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee. (Job 42:5)
Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24)
Yet it must be, Thy love had not its rest
Were Thy redeemed not with Thee fully blest;
That love that gives not as the world, but
   shares
All it possesses with its loved co-heirs.
Nor I alone, Thy loved ones all, complete
In glory, round Thee there with joy shall
   meet,
All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, Lord,
Object supreme of all, by all adored.

Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord. (Gen. 19:27)

When it was day, He [Jesus] departed and went into a desert place. (Luke 4:42)

Our Savior went at early morn
   Before the break of day;
Before the hours were spent or worn,
   He sought 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.

Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. And this Man shall be the peace. (Mic. 5:2,5)
He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14)
’Tis everlasting peace!
   Sure as Jehovah’s name;
’Tis stable as his steadfast throne,
   Forevermore the same.
And yonder is our peace,
   The grave of all our woes;
We know the Son of God has come;
   We know He died and rose.

The hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us. (Ezra 8:31)
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 Cor. 4:10,16)
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow
      greater;
   He sendeth more strength when the labors
      increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
   To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of
      endurance,
   When our strength has failed ere the day is
      half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded
      resources,
   Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? God hath delivered into your hands the princes … and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that. (Judg. 8:2‑3)
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another. (Rom. 12:10)

Let us care for one another —
   Seek their good above our own;
We will cease to be Christ-centered
   If we live for self alone.

Unto you first God, having raised up His Son Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. (Acts 3:26)
God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:17)
Once we stood in condemnation,
   Waiting thus the sinner’s doom;
Christ in death has wrought salvation;
   God has raised Him from the tomb.
As strangers then to God we lived,
   Filled with enmity and fear;
Our souls from death He has
      reprieved,
   Love revealed and brought us near.

Even when we were dead in sins, [God] hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:5‑7)
From the lowest depths of darkness
   To His city’s radiant height,
Thus in me He told the measure
   Of His love and His delight.
Light that knows no cloud, no waning,
   Light wherein I see His face,
All His love’s uncounted treasures,
   All the riches of His grace.

   The highest place in heaven.

He sent His well-beloved Son
   To be your light and stay.

Extend the arms of mighty prayer,
   In grasping all mankind.
