If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Matt. 5:23‑24)
When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25)
Thou who didst once suffer for sinners
   Such bitter reproach and disdain,
Fill me with that same gentle spirit,
   That reviled, still reviles not again.
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
   Thy tender, compassionate grace,
That others beholding my face
   The light of Thy likeness may trace.

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. (Isa. 45:8)
Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24)
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. (Psa. 85:10)
Oh! the peace forever flowing
   From God’s thoughts of His own Son;
Oh, the peace of simply knowing
   On the cross that all was done.
Peace with God, the blood in heaven
   Speaks of pardon now to me:
Peace with God! The Lord is risen!
   Righteousness now counts me free.

The Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea. The Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them. (Ex. 14:21‑23,25)
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land. (Heb. 11:29)
When you pass through the waters,
   Deep the waves may be and cold,
But Jehovah is our refuge,
   And His promise is our hold;
For the Lord Himself has said it,
   He, the faithful God and true;
“When you come to the waters,
   You will not go down, but through.”

Let the Lord … set a man over the congregation … which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd. (Num. 27:16‑17)
I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. (Phil. 2:19‑20)
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
   A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief’s dark hour
   That proves a friend indeed;
Let nothing pass, for every hand
   Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love —
   Be firm, and just and true.

The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. (Psa. 33:13‑14)
Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Isa. 57:15)
Come, weary, anxious, laden soul,
To Jesus come, and be made whole;
On Him your heavy burden roll —
   Come, anxious soul, come!
God loves to hear the contrite cry;
He loves to see the tearful eye,
To read the spirit’s deep-felt sigh —
   Come, anxious soul, come!

Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Heb. 13:14)
The city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. (Rev. 21:18)
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Isa. 60:19)
For us there is provided
   A city fair and new;
To it we shall be guided —
   New Jerusalem view;
The sun which, smiling, lights us,
   Is Jesus Christ alone:
And what to song incites us
   Is heaven on earth begun.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. (1 John 3:21‑22)
If ye then … know how to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall your heavenly Father give … to them that ask Him? (Luke 11:13)
May the Savior’s love and merit
   Fill our hearts both night and day,
And the unction of His Spirit
   All our thoughts and actions sway.
May we thus, in God confiding,
   And from self-dependence free,
Find our rest — in Christ abiding —
   Till with joy Himself we see.

His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. He stood, and measured the earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: His ways are everlasting. (Hab. 3:3,6)
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isa. 40:5)
Great ruler of the earth and skies,
   A word from Thine almighty voice
Can sink the world, or bid it rise;
   Thy smile is life — bid all rejoice.
To Thee we pay our grateful songs;
   Thy kind protection still implore;
Oh may our hearts and lives and tongues
   Confess Thy goodness, and adore.

If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd … he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. (Lev. 1:3)
Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not desire; Mine ears hast Thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast Thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me. (Psa. 40:6‑7)
Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Eph. 5:2)
Here we rest — in wonder viewing
   All our guilt on Jesus laid!
And a full redemption flowing
   From the sacrifice He made.
Here we find the dawn of heaven,
   While upon the Lamb we gaze,
See our trespasses forgiven,
   And our songs of triumph raise.

Because of His strength will I wait upon Thee: for God is my defense. (Psa. 59:9)
Thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psa. 103:5)
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isa. 40:29,31)
If I mount up with wings, as an eagle,
   And stand on the mountain peak,
Thy presence fills and thrills me,
   Lord, as Thy face I seek.
If I abide in the lowest depths,
   Burdened with grief and pain,
Even there, Lord, Thou art with me,
   To lift me up again.

My soul is even as a weaned child. (Psa. 131:2)
Follow Me. Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou Me. (John 21:19,22)
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps. (1 Peter 2:21)
Oh bright and blessed scenes!
   Where sin can never come,
Whose sight our longing spirit weans
   From earth where yet we roam.
We follow Thee, our guide,
   Who didst salvation bring:
We follow Thee, through grace supplied
   From heaven’s eternal spring.

Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass? (Isa. 51:12)
I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him. (Luke 12:5)
Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:15)
God loved the world so tenderly,
   His only Son He gave,
That all who on His name believe,
   Its wondrous power will save.
Why perish, then, ye careless ones?
   Why slight the gracious call?
Why turn from Him whose words proclaim
   Eternal life to all?

Sing forth the honor of His name: make His praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee; they shall sing to Thy name. Selah. (Psa. 66:2‑4)
Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends Thy Word;
And praise shall sound from shore to
   shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Thou sit’st on high, eternal Word,
As Son of Man, as sovereign Lord,
And now by faith on Thee we rest,
Till all Thy title have confessed.

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth. (2 John 1,4)

   A home where He has sway,
Where peace and joy from heaven above
   Abide from day to day;
Where Bible reading is the rule
   And fellowship is sweet,
So that the members of our home
   Will worship at His feet.

When they … had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. (Acts 14:23,27)
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. (2 Cor. 1:11)
In fellowship alone,
   To God with faith draw near;
Approach His courts, besiege His throne
   With all the power of prayer.
Your guides and brethren bear
   Forever on your mind;
Extend the arms of mighty prayer,
   In grasping all mankind.

Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM He: if therefore ye seek Me, let these go their way. (John 18:7‑8)
Ere God had built the mountains,

Before He filled the fountains
   That feed the running rills;
In Thee, from everlasting,
   The wonderful I AM
Found pleasures never wasting,
   And Wisdom is Thy name.

I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath WROUGHT toward me. (Dan. 4:2)
Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Son of love;

They who trust Him wholly find Him
   wholly true;
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace
   and rest.

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God … that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God. (Jer. 42:6)
Zerubbabel … with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God … and the people did fear before the Lord. (Hag. 1:12)
He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths. (Mic. 4:2)
We sometimes wonder why our Lord places us
   Within a sphere so narrow, so obscure,
That nothing we call work can find an entrance;
   There’s only room to suffer — to endure!
Then seek to please Him, whatsoe’er He bids
      you,
   Whether to do, to suffer, to lie still!
’Twill matter little by what path He led us,
   If in it all we sought to do His will.

What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.

It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21)

   Saved from the curse of sin,
Saved now to share Christ’s glory,
   Are all who trust in Him.
No one shall ever perish,
   Entrusted to His care,
So those who trust in Jesus
   Are saved from doubt and fear.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for His law. (Isa. 42:4)

Cometh now in judgment
   And in righteousness to reign.

Not knowing our way,
   But faith makes us bold;
For though we are strangers,
   We have a sure guide,
And trust in all dangers
   The Lord will provide.

When they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto Thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak Thy word, by stretching forth Thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of Thy holy child Jesus. (Acts 4:24,29‑30)
Maker of earth and heaven,
   Whose arm upholds creation,
To Thee we raise the voice of praise,
   And bend in adoration;
We praise the power that made us;
   We praise the love that blesses;
While every day that rolls away
   Thy gracious care confesses.

   prayer,
Finding Thine arm sustains me everywhere.

Judgment is before Him; therefore trust thou in Him. (Job 35:14)

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. (Prov. 2:8‑9)
With mercy and with judgment
   My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
   Were lustered with His love;
I’ll bless the hand that guided,
   I’ll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
   In Immanuel’s land.

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. (Luke 2:10)
If by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Rom. 5:17,19)
The new and living way
   Stands open now to heaven;
Thence, where the blood is seen alway,
   God’s gift is given;
The river of His grace,
   Through righteousness supplied,
Is flowing o’er the barren place
   Where Jesus died!

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. (Ezek. 34:14‑15)
He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. (John 10:2‑3)

To make the gracious work secure,

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep. (2 Cor. 11:25)
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. (Psa. 56:11)
This I know; for God is for me. (Psa. 56:9)
There’s so much now I cannot see;
   My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll surely trust
   And leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift
   And plain it all He’ll make
Through all the way, though dark to me,
   He made not one mistake.
