Crown with life beyond the grave. Topics: The Christian Family Changes; Always Protected Scripture: Proverbs 3:5

Hath surely died for me.

Our interest in his blood,

Thou art my Lord, my God!

And when the sun, with cloudless ray,
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene!

That smile upon his wasted cheek:

In language that no tongue can speak.

The pilgrim on his gloomy road;

To bear him to their bright abode.

I left the God of truth and light

And placed in sordid gains my trust,
I found that gold was all alloy,
And worldly treasures fleeting dust.

Where shall the chief of sinners fly,
Almighty vengeance, from thy frown?
Eternal justice, from thine eye?

My face discerns a dawn of grace;
The Sun of Righteousness appears
In Jesus' reconciling face.
5 My suffering, slain, and risen Lord,
In sore distress I turn to thee;

My God, my God, forsake not me!

I dare not, if I would, despair;
None ever perished at thy feet,
And I will lie forever there. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; Backsliding Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:13

To plague the faithless seed,
And phials full of wrath divine
Are bursting on your head.

Where wave resounds to wave;
Though o'er our heads the billows roll,
We know the Lord can save.
2 When darkness, and when sorrows rose,
And pressed on every side,
The Lord hath still sustained our steps,
And still hath been our Guide.
3 Perhaps, before the morning dawn,
He will restore our peace;
For he who bade the tempest roar,
Can bid the tempest cease.

Nor murmur at his rod;

Our Health, our Life, our God. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; The Safe Pilot Scripture: Psalm 42

What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious God! in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.

When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.

And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Dangers by the Way Scripture: Psalm 56:13
