Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars. (Prov. 9:1)

Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. (Prov. 24:3‑4)

Teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons. (Deut. 4:9)

I will make Thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise Thee forever and ever. (Psa. 45:17)

Happy the home where Jesus’ name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp His fame,
And parents hold Him dear.

Lord, let us in this home agree,
That Thou alone shalt reign,
For those who love and worship Thee,
In joyous peace remain.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight. (Psa. 51:1,3‑4)

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. (Acts 3:19)

When wandering far from the Father’s abode,
The heart full of pride and hatred to God,
The children of darkness, of Satan the slaves,
’Twas Jesus redeemed us — His merit that
saves.

Our sins on the cross He on Calvary bore;
He blotted them out and they are no more;
Now pardoned and washèd we boldly draw
near,
And cry, “Abba, Father!” unhindered by fear.

Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth; and My delights were with the sons of men. (Prov. 8:31)

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. (Rom. 8:16‑17)

What raised the wondrous thought;
Or who did it suggest?
That we, the church, to glory brought,
Should with the Son be blest.

Our hearts look up to see
The glory Thou hast given,
And dwell e’en now where we shall be
With Christ, Thine heirs, in heaven.

The Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood. (1 Kings 19:12‑13)

The words of wise men are heard in quiet. (Eccl. 9:17)

With many such parables spake He [Jesus] the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. (Mark 4:33)

No other voice than Thine has ever spoken,
O Lord, to me —
No other words but Thine the stillness broken
Of life’s lone sea.

None other tells unto my soul the secret,
   The mystery divine —
The love that maketh glad the inner
      chambers,
   His home and mine.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. (Mark 9:23‑24)

The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Rom. 8:26)

Our calls may be faint
   As a child’s timid cry,
Our hearts’ feeble plaint
   Scarce venture on high;
Yet Christ for us pleading,
   We may persevere;
Through Him interceding,
   Our Father will hear.

Unto Adam He said … cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee. (Gen. 3:17‑18)

When they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! (Matt. 27:29)

Gazing on the Lord in glory,
While our hearts in worship bow,
There we read the wondrous story
Of the cross — its shame and woe.

Every mark of dark dishonor
Heaped upon the thorn-crowned brow,
All the depths of Thy heart’s sorrow
Told in answering glory now.

Thou in Thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go. (Neh. 9:19)

He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb. 13:5)

He guided by paths that I could not see,
   By ways that I have not known;
The crooked was straight and the rough
      made plain
   As I followed the Lord alone;
I praise Him still for the pleasant palms,
   And the water-springs by the way,
For the glowing pillar of flame by night,
   And the sheltering cloud by day.

ONE THING have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. (Psa. 27:4)

This ONE THING I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. (Phil. 3:13)

Be not ignorant of this ONE THING, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)

Though troubles assail,
   And dangers affright,
Though friends should all fail,
   And foes all unite:
Yet ONE THING secures us
   Whatever betide:
The Scripture assures us
   The Lord will provide.

With the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem … from all … iniquities. (Psa. 130:7‑8)

Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 3:24)

Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things … but with the precious blood of Christ. (1 Peter 1:18‑19)

We speak of the mercy of God,
So boundless, so rich, and so free!
But what will it profit your soul,
Unless it’s relied on by thee?

We speak of salvation and love,
By the Father in Jesus made known;
But if you would live unto God,
By faith you must make it your own.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Peter 3:3‑4)

These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly. (Rev. 22:6‑7)

His word is faithfulness and truth —
“Behold, I quickly come”;
And faith, that counts the promise sure,
Can pierce the midnight gloom.

Soon shall the saints with glory crowned
Dwell in that cloudless light,
And see their Lord in glory owned,
Heaven’s constant, sweet delight.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. (Psa. 38:10)

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight. I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides Me: I girded thee. (Isa. 45:2,5)

The Lord thy God is a merciful God; He will not forsake thee. (Deut. 4:31)

And thus it is on our homeward way,
   Oft rugged, and not so clear,
One walks by our side each passing day,
   And we thrill at His voice so dear;
Though our tear-dimmed eyes are holden
      at times,
   And His smile we fail to see,
He is ever near, and in love divine
   Watches o’er us tenderly.

In the grave who shall give Thee thanks? (Psa. 6:5)

Shall Thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? (Psa. 88:11)

The grave cannot praise Thee, death cannot celebrate Thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known Thy truth. (Isa. 38:18‑20)

Well may we sing! With triumph sing
The great Redeemer’s praise!
The glories of the living God,
Revealed in Jesus’ face.

Then gladly sing and sound abroad
The great Redeemer’s praise;
The glories of the living God,
The riches of His grace!

We give Thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come. (Rev. 11:17)

Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. (Psa. 30:4)

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead. (2 Tim. 2:8)

O Lord! We treasure in our souls
The memory of Thy love;
And ever shall Thy name to us
A grateful odor prove.

Our Savior Jesus — Lord Thou art,
Eternal is Thy love;
Eternal, too, our songs of praise
When with Thee, Lord, above.

In Me is thine help. (Hos. 13:9)

I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. (Ex. 15:1)

David spake unto the Lord the words of this song, in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul. (2 Sam. 22:1)

God giveth songs in the night of affliction,
   When earth has no sun and the heavens no
      star;
Like a comforting touch in the desolate
      darkness
   His voice stealeth in from afar.

Give us Thy songs, O Thou maker of music!
   Teach us to sing, O Thou bringer of joy!
Till nothing can silence the notes of our
      triumph
   And naught our rejoicing destroy!

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. (Rom. 12:13)

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. (1 Tim. 6:18)

To do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Heb. 13:16)

Lord, give me grace to share from day to
day
In office, home or in the marketplace
Some love, good will, a loaf, a smiling face
With those I chance to meet along the way.

Forbid that I should close my heart or
hands
Before Thy altar or my brother’s need;
Renew the vision that my soul may heed
The call to share in this and other lands.

He that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death. (Prov. 8:36)

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jer. 8:20)

I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways … that thou mayest live. (Deut. 30:15‑16)

Many summers you have wasted;
Ripened harvests you have seen;
Winter snows by spring have melted,
Yet you linger in your sin.

Jesus for your choice is waiting;
Tarry not; at once decide!
While the Spirit now is striving,
Yield, and seek the Savior’s side.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. (Phil. 2:15)

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)

O God of grace, our Father,
We bless Thy holy name,
We who enjoy Thy favor,
Made holy, without blame.

We worship Thee, our Father,
And praise Thy perfect love;
Soon shall we chant Thy glory
In better strains above.

Show me now Thy way, that I may know Thee, that I may find grace in Thy sight. (Ex. 33:13)

He has sent us, that in sorrow,
In rejection, toil and loss,
We may learn the wondrous sweetness,
Learn the mystery of His cross —
Learn the depth of love that traced
That blest path across the waste.

The Spirit speaks the word,
And faith takes up the happy strain;

To Thee, O Lamb of God!
Our every joy on earth, in heaven,
We owe it to Thy blood.

The plowers plowed upon My back: they made long their furrows. (Psa. 129:3)

I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting. (Isa. 50:6)

When he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head. (Matt. 27:26,30)

O Head! once full of bruises,
   So full of pain and scorn,
Mid other sore abuses
   Mocked with a crown of thorn;
O Head! e’en now surrounded
   With brightest majesty,
In death once bowed and wounded
   On the accursed tree.

In the day when I cried Thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. (Psa. 138:3)

Still will I trust, though all my hopes lie
shattered
In broken fragments at my feet;
Though all my plans, like driven seas, are
scattered
By winds of darkness and defeat;
For in my need I hear my Savior saying,
In answer to my pleading and my praying,
“I am thy God; be not afraid;
I will be near; be not dismayed.”

In thought and word and deed.

So joyous, true and free
That many people everywhere
Be drawn through us to Thee.

Fruitless one, did e’er you ponder,
O’er your standing toward your God;
Have you ever questioned deeply,
What the goal of paths you trod?

Have you heard the wondrous story
Of the love of God displayed;
When He sent His well-beloved,
Such the sacrifice He made?

   The evening is at hand,
And desolate and fearful
   The solitary land;
Take heart! The rest eternal
   Awaits our weary feet;
From strength to strength press
      onwards:
   The end, how passing sweet!

In the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went. (Deut. 1:31)

We turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. (Deut. 2:1)

The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: He knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee. (Deut. 2:7)

He was better to me than all my hopes;
   He was better than all my fears;
He made a bridge of my broken dreams,
   And a rainbow of my tears;
The billows that guarded my sea-girt path
   But carried my Lord on their crest;
When I dwell on the days of my wilderness
      march,
   I can lean on His love for the rest.

God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
But still He is nigh, His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall

All glory and power, all wisdom and might,
All honor and blessing, our praise soars
above,
And thanks never ceasing for infinite love.

To Thee we raise the voice of praise,
And bend in adoration.

Our hearts and voices blending;
’Tis Thou alone we worthy own;
Thy beauty’s all transcending.

To make the weight for the winds; and He weigheth the waters by measure. (Job 28:25)

He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by His understanding. When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures.

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me? (Jer. 32:27)

And stills its storms at His will,
While the waves that sweep over its bosom
Rise — His command to fulfill.

For the wound that stings and smarts;
Our God is at home with the rolling spheres,
And at home with broken hearts.

Shall heavenly light impart;
And be our theme of endless praise
When all things else depart.

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. (Song of Sol. 4:6‑7)

That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Eph. 5:27)

Changed — transformed; forever and
      forever;
   Thine alone to be;
Knowing none on earth, O Lord, beside
      Thee,
   None in heaven but Thee.

Not our joy, but Thy divine rejoicing
Fills that palace fair,
For the wonder, past our heart’s conceiving,
Is the welcome there.
