| There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death. (Eccl. 8:8) |
| Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with Thee, Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass. (Job 14:5) |
| God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us. (1 Thess. 5:9‑10) |
Lost and ruined, vile and wayward,
Deepening gloom hung o’er my path;
Sins recounting, death I feared,
Loomed before me endless wrath. |
Trust, O Savior, Lord, I trust Thee,
Is the answering word of faith
Of my soul — till now so weary —
To Thy matchless, perfect grace. |
