| King Darius signed the writing and the decree. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Dan. 6:9‑10) |
| When ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (1 Peter 2:20) |
From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sweet retreat;
’Tis found before the mercy-seat. |
Ah! whither could we flee for aid
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? |
