1.
Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
Take heed, and beware of covetousness.
2.
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
O Lord, my best desire fulfil,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to thy will,
And make thy pleasure mine.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger.
3.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
What shall be my future lot,
Well I know concerns me not;
This should set my heart at rest,
What thy will ordains is best.
This God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
4.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
On us thy providence has shone,
With gentle smiling rays;
O may our lips and lives make known,
Thy goodness and thy praise.
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
5.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Come, weary souls, with sin distressed.
Come and accept the promised rest;
The Saviour’s gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
6.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
What thou shalt today provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What tomorrow may betide,
Calmly to thy wisdom leave:
‘Tis enough that thou wilt care,
Who should I the burden bear?
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
7.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Yes, ‘tis a rough and thorny road
That leads us to the saints’ abode;
But when our Father’s house we gain,
‘T will make amends for all our pain.
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
8.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancelled by redeeming love.
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
9.
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
O make but trial of his love;
Experience will decide,
How blest are they, and only they,
Who in his truth confide.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
11.
With thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all our sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep us pure within.
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
12.
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him.
I plead the merits of thy Son,
Who died for sinners on the trees:
I plead his righteousness alone—
O Put the spotless robe on me.
He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
13.
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.
Why should I complain
Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
He told me no less:
The heirs of salvation,
I know from his word,
Through much tribulation
Must follow their Lord.
If we deny him, he also will deny us.
14.
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
O my distrustful heart,
How small thy faith appears;
But greater, Lord, thou art
Than all my doubts and rears:
Did Jesus once upon me shine,
Then Jesus is for ever mine.
Be not faithless, but believing.
15.
The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
It is the Lord, my covenant God—
Thrice blessed be his name—
Whose gracious promise, sealed with blood.
Must ever be the same.
Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
16.
He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Though faint my prayers and cold my love
My steadfast hope shall not remove
While Jesus intercedes above.
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners.
17.
The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Let the sweet hope that thou art mine,
My life and death attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey’s end.
Be not weary in well doing.
18.
In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
How bitter that cup
No heart can conceive,
Which he drank quite up,
That sinners might live:
His way was much rougher
And darker than mine;
Did Jesus thus suffer,
And shall I repine?
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
19.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
In the floods of tribulation,
While the billows o’er me roll,
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul.
Seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. ... rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
20.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.
No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.
He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
21.
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above.
22.
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I hope for pardon through thy Son,
For all the crimes which I have done;
O may the grace which pardons me,
Constrain me to forgive like thee.
Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us.
23.
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus, our great High-priest,
Has full atonement made:
Ye weary spirits, rest;
Ye mournful souls, be glad.
This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another.
24.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be;
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
25.
They ... have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God.
Thy blood, dear Jesus, thine alone
Hath sovereign virtue to atone;
Here we will rest our only plea,
When we approach, great God, to thee.
He that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
26.
Now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
So great, so vast a sacrifice,
May well my hope revive;
If God’s own Son thus bleeds and dies,
The sinner sure may live.
Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
27.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
In the darkest dispensations
Doth my faithful Lord appear,
With his richest consolations,
To reanimate and cheer:
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
Thus to bring my Saviour near.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
28.
God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
My spirit looks to God alone,
My rock and refuge is his throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on his salvation waits.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.
29.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Dear Father, if thy lifted rod
Resolve to scourge us hem below,
Still we must lean upon our God,
Thine arm shall bear us safely through.
God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
30.
To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
The humble soul my words revive,
I bid the mourning sinner live,
Heal all the broken hearts I find,
And ease the sorrows of the mind.
I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
31.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Blessed are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus’ blood;
They are ransomed from the grave,
Life eternal they shall have:
With them numbered may we be,
Now and through eternity.
The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
