Let us now fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great.1 – I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: … I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.2 – He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. … For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.3 – I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.4 |
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.5 – Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not.6 |
Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.7 |
