"Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! - The hope of our friends in the past; Its truth where so firmly they anchored their trust, through ages eternal shall last. /// Oh, wonderful, wonderful Word of the Lord! - Unchanging, abiding and sure; For we know that when time and the world pass away, God's Word shall forever endure!" --Julia Sterling
Blest is he who loves God’s precepts, Who from sin restraints his feet, He who will not stand with sinners, He who shuns the scorners’ seat.
Blest is he who makes the statutes Of the Lord his chief delight, In God’s law, divinely perfect, Meditating day and night.
He is like a tree well planted By the flowing river’s side, Ever green of leaf and fruitful: Thus shall all his works abide.
Like the driven chaff the wicked Shall be swept from off the land With the just they shall not gather, Nor shall in the judgment stand.
Well the Lord will guard the righteous, For their way to Him is known; But the way of evildoers Shall by Him be overthrown. --Luther Orlando Emerson, 1863
Christ in His Word draws near; Hush, moaning voice of fear, He bids thee cease; With songs sincere and sweet Let us arise, and meet Him Who comes forth to greet Our souls with peace.
Rising above thy care, Meet Him as in the air, O weary heart; Put on joy’s sacred dress; Lo, as He comes to bless, Quite from thy weariness Set free thou art.
For works of love and praise He brings thee summer days, Warm days and bright; Winter is past and gone, Now He, salvation’s Sun, Shineth on every one With mercy’s light.
From the bright sky above, Clad in His robes of love, ’Tis He, our Lord! Dim earth itself grows clear As His light draweth near; O let us hush and hear His holy Word. --Thomas Toke Lynch, 1855
"One Monarch to obey, one Creed to own; that Monarch God; that Creed His word alone!"
("If there is any one fact or doctrine, or command, or promise in the Bible which has produced no practical effect on your temper, or heart, or conduct, be assured you do not truly believe it!") --Payson
