Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. (Matt. 20:26‑27)
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (1 Tim. 4:6)
Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (James 1:25)
In service which Thy love appoints
   There are no bonds for me;
My secret heart is taught the truth
   That makes Thy children free;
A life of self-renouncing love
   Is a life of liberty.

My righteousness is near; My salvation is gone forth, and Mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon Me, and on Mine arm shall they trust. My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished. (Isa. 51:5‑6)
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. 10:17‑18)
Salvation through Christ Jesus!
   Endearing, precious sound!
Shout, shout the word “salvation”
   To earth’s remotest bound —
Salvation for the wealthy,
   Salvation for the poor,
Salvation for the lowly,
   Yes, life forevermore!

   To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
   And rule in equity.

   The work begun by grace,
For each is meet, and training,
   Father, to see Thy face.

Through Him the victory we obtain,
   Beneath His banner — love.

There is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; yet through the scent of water it will bud. (Job 14:7‑9)
I am poured out like water. (Psa. 22:14)
He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death. (Isa. 53:12)
O blessed Lord, what hast Thou done?
   How vast a ransom given?
Thyself of God the eternal Son,
   The Lord of earth and heaven.
The storm that bowed Thy blessed head
   Is hushed forever now,
And rest divine is ours instead,
   While glory crowns Thy brow.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He giveth His beloved sleep. (Psa. 127:2)
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. (Psa. 4:8)
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. (Psa. 121:4)
There my spirit cannot question,
   Little do I think or say;
All the thorns of life around me
   Cannot take my peace away —
There my spirit knows no darkness;
   Love remains when all is gone —
Peace — that earth can never give me —
   From the heart of God alone —
Resting in Christ’s blessed light,
   Fear I not the earthly night.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:36)
A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are His work. (Prov. 16:11)
Be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:9)
Thou wouldst like wretched man be made
   In everything but sin,
That we as like Thee might become
   As we unlike had been.
Like Thee in faith, in meekness, love,
   In every beauteous grace;
From glory into glory changed,
   Till we behold Thy face.

Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; He calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto Him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. (Mark 10:49‑52)
Decide for Christ today;
   Thyself thou canst not save;
Helpless and guilty, dead and blind,
   No longer judgment brave.
Decide for Christ today,
   And God’s salvation see;
Yield soul and body, heart and will
   To Him, who died for thee!

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. (Col. 1:12)
Our thirsty spirits faint
   To reach the home we love;
The bright inheritance of saints,
   Jerusalem above.
And though there intervene
   Rough seas and stormy skies,
Though by no mortal vision seen
   Thy glory fills our eyes.

Fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. (Isa. 51:7)
Be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. (1 Chron. 22:13)
The night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. (Acts 23:11)
So, let the world cast out our name,
   And vile account us if it will;
If to confess our Lord be shame,
   Oh, then would we be viler still;
For Thee, O Lord, we all resign,
Content that Thou dost call us Thine.

The cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. (Ex. 3:9)
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in Thy word. (Psa. 119:114)
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for He hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. (Jer. 20:13)
Rock of my heart and my fortress tower,
   Dear are Thy thoughts to me;
Like the unfolding of some fair flower,
   Opening silently;
And on the edge of these Thy ways,
   Standing in awe as heretofore,
Thee do I worship, Thee do I praise
   And adore.

The flesh of the bullock, and his skin … shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering. (Ex. 29:14)
The bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate. (Heb. 13:11‑12)
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
   All our sins were on Thee laid;
By Almighty love anointed,
   Thou hast full atonement made;
All Thy people are forgiven
   Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven;
   Peace is made for us with God.

Yes, tell Thee all — each weary care and grief
Into Thy bosom pour — till there I find relief;
Oh let me walk with Thee, my Savior Lord;
Lean on Thine arm, and trust Thy love alone.
My every wound I take to Thee to heal,
For Thou art touched with every pang I feel;
O Friend of friends — the faithful, true and
   tried —
In Thee, and Thee alone, I now confide.

That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. (Prov. 5:2)
He that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. (1 Peter 3:10)
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psa. 19:14)
I want to know the language Jesus spoke,
Pure words, uncritical and ever kind;
I’d rather, by my words, the lost awoke,
Than win the applause and fame of mankind.
Oh, Savior, let me daily with Thee walk;
The secret of Thy words to me confide;
Then let the world be conscious when I talk
That I received instruction at Thy side.

When the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, How is it that He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mark 2:16‑17)
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. (Prov. 8:33)
There is a love that longs with deep affection
   To gather all the sin-sick sons of men
Beneath its wings of shelter and protection,
   And cleanse them from their sin.
It is the love of Jesus, sweet with longing
   His full salvation to the world to give,
Crying to all the dead, earth’s highways
      thronging,
   “Come unto Me, come unto Me, and live.”

In spirit there already;
   Soon we ourselves shall be
In soul and body perfect,
   All glorified with Thee:
Thy Father’s love sustains us
   Along the thorny way,
Thy Father’s house, the dwelling
   Made ready for that day.

I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Phil. 4:11)
Godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Tim. 6:6)
All the way my Savior leads me,
   What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
   Who through life has been my
      Guide?
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
   Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
   Jesus doeth all things well.

Many sorrows hard and bitter,
   Many comforts sweet and soft;
Thus my cry as joyful singing
   Evermore shall mount aloft.
Thus my sorrow turns to music
   And my cry to sweetest song;
Weeping to eternal gladness:
   Night is short — the day is long.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman, seeking goodly pearls: who, when He had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. (Matt. 13:45‑46)

Our sins against us ne’er can rise,
   For Thou hast borne them all.

He hath sent Me to heal the broken-hearted. (Luke 4:18)
There was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. … And … the Lord … had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And He came and touched the bier … and He said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother. (Luke 7:12‑15)
Jesus, our all in all Thou art,
Our rest in toil, our ease in pain;
The medicine of a broken heart;
Mid storms, our peace; in loss, our gain.
And God has fixed the happy day
When the last tear shall dim our eyes;
When he will wipe these tears away
And fill our hearts with glad surprise.

The sons of Belial … cannot be taken with hands: but the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear. (2 Sam. 23:6‑7)
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Eph. 6:12‑13)
Seize your armor; gird it on;
Fight until the battle’s won;
Soon the conflict will be done,
   And your Savior’s face shall see;
Though our enemies appear,
Who will doubt, or who can fear?
God, our strengthened shield, is near;
   Through His cross is victory.

One thing I know that, whereas I was blind, now I see. (John 9:25)
The blind … came to Him … and He healed them. (Matt. 21:14)
O Christ, in Thee my soul has
      found,
   And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long,
   The bliss till now unknown.
The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
   But never wept for Thee,
Till grace the sightless eyes received
   Thy loveliness to see.

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. (1 Cor. 9:24‑25)
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14)
Beyond the storms I’m going,
   Beyond this vale of tears,
Beyond the floods o’erflowing,
   Beyond the changing years.
The voice of Jesus calleth me;
   My race will soon be run;
The glory shines before me!
   The prize will soon be won!

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever. (Deut. 29:29)
God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Cor. 2:10‑11)
In the Spirit and in truth adoring
Him whom none but eyes anointed see —
Marvels of God’s secret place made known
Unto him who dwells with God alone —
In the depths of hidden rest encompassed
By the tender gleams of heavenly things;
Who amidst the world’s sad mirth can tell
What it is apart in God to dwell?

All things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. (2 Cor. 4:15)
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
   My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
   In wonder, love and praise.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
   My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
   To taste those gifts with joy.

   The purposes of love;
But justice now withstands no more,
And mercy yields her boundless store.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. (Psa. 9:9)
The God of my rock; in Him will I trust: He is … my refuge, my savior. (2 Sam. 22:3)
This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. (Isa. 28:12)
Rest, tired heart, within those arms eternal,
Like cradled child upon its father’s breast;
Oh, lean on Him who giveth to the weary,
After the day is over, blessed rest.
Rest, troubled heart, oppressed by care and
   sorrow;
Let every fear and vague foreboding cease;
Oh, rest in Him who giveth to the burdened,
After the day is over, blessed peace.
