I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised. … Turn Thou me, and I shall be turned; for Thou art the Lord my God. Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? … I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord. (Jer. 31:18,20)
Behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown. (Ezek. 36:9)
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.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)
This is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us: and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. (1 John 5:14‑15)
I thank Thee, Lord, Thou art too wise to heed
My feeble prayers, and answer as I sought,
Since these rich gifts Thy bounty has
   bestowed
Have brought me more than all I asked or
   thought;
Giver of good, so answer each request
With Thine own giving, better than my best.

He questioned with Him in many words; but He answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. (Luke 23:9‑10)
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth. (Isa. 53:7)
We love Thee for the glorious worth
   Which in Thyself we see:
We love Thee for that shameful cross,
   Endured so patiently.
Though in the very form of God,
   With heavenly glory crowned,
Thou didst a servant’s form assume,
   Beset with sorrow round.

They cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech Thee, O Lord, we beseech Thee, let us not perish … for Thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased Thee. (Jonah 1:14)
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. (Lam. 3:22‑23)
O Lord, Thou preservest man and beast. (Psa. 36:6)
Each trial may to us become
   The means that will display
How o’er what seems impossible
   Our God has perfect sway!
The very storms that beat upon
   Our little ship so frail,
But manifest Thy power to quell
   All forces that assail.

All they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. (Ezra 1:6)
Whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. (Ezra 7:18)
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him. (1 Cor. 16:2)
For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and way to heaven,
What can to Thee, O Lord! be given,
   Who givest all?
Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee,
Repaid a thousandfold will be;
Help us to sacrifice for Thee,
   Who givest all.

Repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15)
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 20:21)
Showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. (Acts 26:20)
Oh, have you not heard of that wonderful love
   That flows from God’s heart so free,
Which led Him to give for a perishing world
   His Son to be nailed to the tree?
Believe that wonderful love;
   Believe that wonderful love;
The gospel is free; God sends it to thee:
   Believe God’s wonderful love.

I will perform My word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father: and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel. So Solomon built the house, and finished it. (1 Kings 6:12‑14)
The Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. (Acts 7:48‑49)
I go to prepare a place for you. That where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2‑3)
Oh what a home! But such His love
   That He must bring us there,
To fill that home, to be with Him,
   And all His glory share;
The Father’s house, the Father’s heart,
   All that the Son is given
Made ours — the objects of His love,
   And He, our joy in heaven.

Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. (Psa. 147:5)
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. (1 Peter 1:5)
Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years. (Deut. 8:2)
My Father came and took my hand
And led me forth in paths unknown;
He filled my days with crowding cares;
He would not let me walk alone;
But, looking backward now, I know
How wise and kind He was to me;
The clouds all gone, the shadows fled,
His glorious afterward I see.

The priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers … every one having knowledge, and having understanding. (Neh. 10:28)
God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. (Psa. 47:7)
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. (1 Cor. 14:15)
The Father’s boundless love we sing,
The fountain whence our blessings spring;
How great the depth, how high it flows,
No saint can tell, no angel knows.
Its length and breadth no eye can trace;
No thought explore the bounds of grace;
The love that saved our souls from hell
Transcends the creature’s power to tell.

Let us DRAW NEAR hither unto God. (1 Sam. 14:36)
I will cause him to DRAW NEAR, and he shall approach unto Me. (Jer. 30:21)
It is good for me to DRAW NEAR to God. (Psa. 73:28)
Let us DRAW NEAR with a true heart in full assurance of faith. (Heb. 10:22)
Himself He gave our poor hearts to win —
   (Was ever love, Lord, like Thine!)
From the paths of folly and shame and sin,
   And fill them with joys divine.
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.

Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: and should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand? (Jonah 4:10‑11)
He took them [children] up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them. (Mark 10:16)
Happy they who trust in Jesus;
   Sweet their portion is and sure;
When the foe on others seizes,
   He will keep His own secure.
As the bird beneath her feathers
   Guards the objects of her care,
So the Lord His children gathers,
   Spreads His wings and hides them there.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. (Prov. 21:23)
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. (Prov. 25:15)
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright. (Prov. 15:1‑2)
A little word in kindness spoken,
   A motion or a tear,
Has often healed the heart that’s broken!
   And made a friend sincere.
Then deem it not an idle thing,
   A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
   A heart may heal or break.

He shall pray unto God, and He will be favorable unto him: and he shall see His face with joy: for He will render unto man His righteousness. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God. (Job 33:26‑29)
Not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
Come to the Savior now!
   He gently waits for thee;
In true repentance bow;
   Before Him bend the knee;
He lovingly bestows
   Salvation, peace and love,
True joy on earth below,
   A home in heaven above.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain. (Isa. 11:6,8‑9)
In that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious. (Isa. 11:10)
He shall come down like showers
   Upon the new-mown grass,
And joy and hope, like flowers,
   Spring up where He does pass;
Before Him, on the mountains,
   Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
   From hill to valley flow.

There were set there six waterpots of stone. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, … the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; … but thou hast kept the good wine until now. (John 2:6‑7,9‑10)
His joy fulfilled in us who tread
   That land His love has given;
We followed where His footsteps led,
   And found ourselves in heaven;
In Him we tread those radiant heights,
   His endless joy our own;
The full, deep tide of God’s delights
   He would not drink alone.

Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house which I have built! Have respect therefore to the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which Thy servant prayeth before Thee. (2 Chron. 6:18‑19)
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer. (Psa. 6:9)
The veil is rent — our souls draw near
   Unto a throne of grace;
The merits of the Lord appear;
   They fill the holy place.
Boldly the heart and voice we raise,
   His blood, His name, our plea;
Assured our prayers and songs of praise
   Ascend, by Christ, to Thee.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. (Psa. 20:7)
Thou, O Lord, shalt endure forever; and Thy remembrance unto all generations. (Psa. 102:12)
He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. (Luke 22:19)
We bless our Savior’s name;
   Our sins are all forgiven;
To suffer once to earth He came:
   He now is crowned in heaven.
Lord, let us ne’er forget
   Thy rich, Thy precious love;
Our theme of joy and wonder here,
   Our endless song above.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick. And ye My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 34:16,31)
The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth. (Luke 3:5)
And then, Lord Jesus, make them whole,
   That they may rise and bring
New praise and glory unto Thee;
   Our healer we will sing;
Yea, let Thy saving health be known
   Through all the earth abroad;
So shall the people praise Thy name,
   Our Savior and our God.

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! (Prov. 15:23)
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. (Prov. 25:11)
The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary. (Isa. 50:4)
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thine own;
As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
Thy erring children, lost and lone.
Oh give Thy settled peace to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.

They … embrace the ROCK for want of a shelter. (Job 24:8)
Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the ROCK. (Deut. 32:3‑4)
Who is God, save the Lord? and who is a ROCK, save our God? (2 Sam. 22:32)
That ROCK was Christ. (1 Cor. 10:4)
Here we have a firm foundation;
   Here’s the refuge of the lost;
Christ’s the ROCK of our salvation —
   His the name of which we boast;
Lamb of God! For sinners wounded —
   Sacrifice to cancel guilt;
None shall ever be confounded
   Who on Thee their hope have built.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (Heb. 11:9‑10)
They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a city. (Heb. 11:16)
Not built with hands is that fair, radiant city
   Of God’s untroubled rest —
Where Christ awaits to lay His weary-
      hearted
   In stillness on His breast;
Not built on sands of time or place to perish,
   When tempests roar —
But on the mighty rock of ages founded,
   It stands forevermore.

Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. (Gen. 22:12)
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac. And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: of whom the world was not worthy. (Heb. 11:17,36,38)
As for God, His way is perfect!
   May I never doubt it, Lord —
May I lean in sweet assurance
   On Thy precious, holy Word.
As for God, His way is perfect!
   Someday I shall clearly see
All His purposes unfolded,
   And rejoice eternally.

I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. (Isa. 45:3)
That I may cause those that love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. (Prov. 8:21)
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col. 2:3)
Given the riches eternal,
   Treasures of mind and of heart;
Learning the mind of the Savior,
   Choosing the better part.
There is so much He can tell us —
   Truths that are precious and deep;
This is the place where He wants us;
   These are the things we can keep.

Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged Him, to be crucified. And they clothed Him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about His head. (Mark 15:15,17)
The Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings. (Rev. 17:14)
Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God. (Rev. 19:1)
Our sins were laid on His sacred head;
   The curse by our Lord was borne;
For us a victim our Savior bled,
   And endured that death of scorn.
The gates of heaven are opened wide;
   At His name all the angels bow;
The Son of Man who was crucified
   Is the King of glory now.

They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. (1 Sam. 25:16)
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day. (Psa. 91:3,5)
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. (Psa. 121:3)
Thine arm has safely brought us
   A way no more expected
Than when Thy sheep passed through the
      deep
   By crystal walls protected;
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
   Brought through each sore temptation;
With heart and voice, in Thee rejoice,
   Thou God of our salvation.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. (Psa. 34:13)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue … this man’s religion is vain. (James 1:26)
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! (James 3:5)
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? (James 3:11)
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. (James 3:13)

Who is that shepherd that will stand before Me? (Jer. 49:19)
I am the good shepherd, and know My sheep … and I lay down My life for the sheep. (John 10:14‑15)
When he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth. (Luke 15:6‑7)
And now, Jesus is living,
   A Shepherd up on high,
Who came to seek the straying,
   Who all deserved to die;
For sin each lamb had ruined,
   And far from God had led;
But oh! what love unbounded!
   He suffered in their stead.

In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance. (Isa. 19:23‑25)
From the ends of the earth He will gather
      you
   And bring your sons from afar;
From the desert place He will lead them out
   Where the rivers of waters are;
He is casting up the highway now
   Where His redeemed will tread,
And you shall come with songs of joy
   And garlands on your head.

I have remembered Thy name, O Lord, in the night. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee because of Thy righteous judgments. (Psa. 119:55,62)
At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. (Acts 16:25‑26)
When shadowed in the darkness,
   And pressed by every foe,
Then let your gladdest carols
   And sweetest anthems flow.
’Tis then the God of glory
   Makes our foes fear and flee,
And sends a mighty earthquake
   To set His ransomed free.
