The patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions. (Acts 7:9‑10)
He hath delivered me out of all trouble. (Psa. 54:7)
Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. (Psa. 116:8)
How wonderful, dear Lord, to lay
   The tangled threads of life —
The trials of my pilgrim way —
   The turmoil and the strife,
Each bitter ill, each stern demand,
   Each burden great and small
Within Thy precious nail-scarred hand,
   And trust Thy grace for all!

STAND STILL, and I will hear what the Lord will command. (Num. 9:8)
STAND STILL, that I may reason with you before the Lord. (1 Sam. 12:7)
STAND STILL, and consider the wondrous works of God. (Job 37:14)
STAND in awe … commune with your own heart … and be STILL. (Psa. 4:4)
Be still, my soul: your God does
   undertake
To guide the future as He has the past;
Your hope, your confidence let nothing
   shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last;
Stand still, my soul: the waves and winds
   still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt
   below.

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And 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. (Mark 10:47‑50)
Jesus! ’tis He who once below,
Man’s pathway trod, mid pain and woe;
And burdened ones, where’er He came,
Brought out their sick and deaf and lame;
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”

Our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (2 Tim. 1:10)
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1 Cor. 15:54)
The Lord is risen indeed:
   And death has lost its prey:
And with Him all the ransomed seed
   Shall reign in endless day.
Forever with the Lord!
   Amen! so let it be:
Life from the dead is in that word;
   ’Tis immortality.

His bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; from thence is the Shepherd, the stone of Israel. (Gen. 49:24)
Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. (1 Peter 2:6)
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. (Psa. 118:22)
No other hope shall intervene:
To Him we look, on Him we lean:
Other foundations we disown,
And build on Christ, the “Living Stone.”
On Christ salvation rests secure;
The Rock of Ages must endure;
Nor can that faith be overthrown
Which rests upon the “Living Stone.”

That which I see not teach Thou me. (Job 34:32)
Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God. (Psa. 143:10)
O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works. (Psa. 71:17)
My lips shall utter praise, when Thou hast taught me Thy statutes. (Psa. 119:171)
Savior, teach me day by day,
Love’s sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be —
Loving Him who first loved me.
Teach me all Thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in Thy grace;
Learning how to love from Thee —
Loving Him who first loved me.

To show … My power; and that My NAME may be declared throughout all the earth. (Ex. 9:16)
What is THY NAME, that when Thy sayings come to pass we may do Thee honor? (Judg. 13:17)
Let THY NAME be magnified forever. (2 Sam. 7:26)
THY NAME, O Lord, endureth forever; and Thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations. (Psa. 134:13)
Father, glorify THY NAME. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. (John 12:28)

God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me IN THE WAY which I went. (Gen. 35:3)
Shall set us IN THE WAY of His steps. (Psa. 85:13)
They were IN THE WAY going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them. (Mark 10:32)
Declared unto them how he had seen the Lord IN THE WAY, and that He had spoken to him. (Acts 9:27)
In the time of deepest sorrow,
When life seems without a ray
And the wound is fresh and opened,
Can you see Him “IN THE WAY”?
Broken rays become a rainbow;
Lives are born through grief and pain —
Pruned vines bear richest clusters;
He alone leads “IN THE WAY.”

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (Col. 3:12‑13)
To godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, charity. (2 Peter 1:7)
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
   A merciful spirit I pray;
That suffers the wrongs of another
   And seeks not the ill to repay.
Lord, help me be kind and forgiving —
   I who Thy forgiveness have known
So oft for my many transgressions;
   Grant me, Lord, a love like Thine own.

That Christ should suffer, and that He should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am. (Acts 26:23,27‑29)
If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (Luke 16:31)
“Almost persuaded”: come, come today!
“Almost persuaded”: turn not away!
   Jesus invites you here;
   List to His voice so clear
   Now falling on your ear:
      Come, wanderer, come!

Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him. (Isa. 64:4)
Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. (2 Cor. 4:14)
I have seen the face of Jesus —
   Tell me not of aught beside;
I have heard the voice of Jesus —
   All my soul is satisfied;
In the radiance of the glory
   First I saw His blessed face,
And forever shall that glory
   Be my home, my dwelling-place.

Now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. Much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary. (1 Cor. 12:18,22‑23)
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. (Eph. 2:21‑22)
In Him, it is ordained to raise
A temple to Jehovah’s praise,
Composed of all the saints, who own
No Savior but the “Living Stone.”
View the vast building; see it rise;
The work how great! The plan how wise!
Oh wondrous fabric! Power unknown!
That rears it on the “Living Stone.”

These are Thy servants and Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand. O Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thine ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who desire to fear Thy name: and prosper, I pray Thee, Thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. (Neh. 1:10‑11)
When we cried unto the Lord, He heard our voice. (Num. 20:16)
He everywhere has sway,
   And all things serve His might;
His every act pure blessing is,
   His path unsullied light.
When He makes bare His arm,
   Who shall His work withstand?
When He His people’s cause defends,
   Who then shall stay His hand?

His master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever. (Ex. 21:6)
Grace hath been showed from the Lord our God … to give us a nail in His holy place. (Ezra 9:8)
I will fasten Him as a nail in a sure place; and He shall be for a glorious throne. (Isa. 22:23)
When we see Thee as the Victim
   Nailed to the accursed tree,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
   All our judgment borne by Thee,
Lord, we own, with hearts adoring,
   Thou hast washed us in Thy blood:
Glory, glory everlasting,
   Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God!

It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good. (1 Sam. 3:18)
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat … yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Hab. 3:17‑18)
God is my strength and power; and He maketh my way perfect. (2 Sam. 22:33)
Though the fig tree shall not ripen,
   And no fruit be on the vine,
Though the shades of night be gathering,
   And the sun has ceased to shine,
Still in Christ, my blessed Savior,
   Joy may still my portion be,
For His love abideth ever
   Unto all eternity.

Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother? (Mal. 2:10)
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. (James 4:11)
As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. (Prov. 27:19)
Forgive me, Lord, for careless words
   When hungry souls are near;
Words that are not of faith and love,
   Heavy with care and fear.
Words are such mighty things, dear
      Lord,
   May I so yielded be
That Christ, who spake as never man,
   May ever speak through me.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:14)
Great multitudes came unto Him [Jesus], having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and He healed them. (Matt. 15:30)
The chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. (Matt. 27:20)
What think ye of Christ? (Matt. 22:42)
Oh, what will you do with Jesus?
   The call comes low and sweet;
And tenderly He bids you
   Your burdens lay at His feet;
O soul, so sad and weary,
   That sweet voice speaks to thee:
Then what will you do with Jesus?
   Oh, what shall the answer be?

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:26‑28)
For as the lightning cometh,
   Terrible, swift and bright;
Cleaving the heavens asunder,
   And searing earth with its light.
A vision of flaming glory
   That every eye shall see;
Lo, as the lightning cometh,
   The Son of Man shall be!

In every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak anything. (1 Thess. 1:8)
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. (1 Tim. 5:25)
The house was filled with the odor of the ointment. (John 12:3)
The secret of deep living
   Lies in the secret place,
Where, time and sense forgotten,
   We see God face to face,
Beyond mere forms and symbols,
   Beyond mere words and signs,
Where, in that hidden temple,
   The light eternal shines.

I am the Lord; that is My name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice. … Let them shout from the top of the mountains. (Isa. 42:8,11)
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. (Psa. 24:7)
Lord of life, and King of glory!
   Now to Thee our hearts we raise;
While we sing the joyful story
   Of the triumphs of Thy grace.
Grace begun shall end in glory;
   Jesus, He the victory won;
In His own triumphant story
   Is the record of our own.

They laid their hands on Him, and took Him. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. (Mark 14:46,53)
After that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him. (Matt. 27:31)
When blood from a victim must flow,
   This Shepherd by pity was led
To stand between us and the foe,
   And willingly died in our stead.
Of Him and His love will we sing;
   His praises our tongues shall
      employ
Till heavenly anthems we bring
   In yonder bright regions of joy.

The battle is the Lord’s. (1 Sam. 17:47)
Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today. (Ex. 14:13)
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 break sin’s dominion;
   The victory He won long ago;
In Him there is freedom from
      bondage;
   He’s able to conquer the foe.

A good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor. (Psa. 112:5,9)
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (Rom. 12:14,17)
’Tis ever thus when duty calls,
If we spring quickly to obey,
Love comes, and whatso’er befalls,
We’re glad to help another day;
The second mile we walk with joy;
Heaven’s peace goes with us on the road,
So let us all our powers employ
To help our brother bear life’s load.

Visit your neighbor’s dark abode;
Proclaim to all this love of God;
Oh spread the joyful news abroad:
      Mercy’s free.

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the HOPE of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. (Eph. 1:18)
Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and HOPE might be in God. (1 Peter 1:21)
Every man that hath this HOPE in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. (1 John 3:3)
I go on my way rejoicing,
   Though weary the wilderness road —
I go on my way rejoicing
   In HOPE of the glory of God.
And looking on Christ in glory,
   That glory so still, so fair,
There passes a change upon me,
   Till I am as He who is there.

Against me earth and hell combine,
But on my side is power divine:
Jesus is all, and He is mine.

These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. (Col. 4:11‑15)
Another year of service,

In working or in waiting,
   Another year with Thee.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. (John 14:9‑10)
The life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us. (1 John 1:2)
Thou art the everlasting Word,
   The Father’s only Son;
God manifest, God seen and heard,
   The heaven’s beloved One.
In Thee most perfectly expressed,
   The Father’s self does shine;
Fullness of Godhead, too: the Blest,
   Eternally divine.

And I can trust the heart of Him
   Who has not failed me yet.

And, thereby, teach your families
   To love and trust and pray.

   Is open to your call;
While offered mercy still is near,
   Before His footstool fall.
