1.
There is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Great God, with reverence we adore
Thy justice and thy grace;
And on thy faithfulness and power
Our firm dependence place.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
2.
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways,
And make my soul sincere;
Then shall I stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
3.
All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
The work which his goodness began,
The arm of his strength will complete;
His promise is yea, and Amen,
And never was forfeited yet.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
4.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Behold a stranger at the door;
He gently knocks, has knocked before;
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You use no other friend so ill.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
5.
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever.
His saints what is fitting
Shall ne’er be denied,
So long as ‘tis written,
The Lord will provide.
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
6.
God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too;
He gives us all things, and withholds
No real good from upright souls.
He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7.
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
Grace, ‘tis a charming sound.
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
8.
Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Then, Saviour, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live
And reign with thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
9.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Faith hath an overcoming power,
It triumphs in the dying hour;
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
10.
God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
How can I die while Jesus lives?
Who rose and left the dead;
Pardon and grace my soul receives
From mine exalted Head.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
11.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
In thy fair book of life divine,
My God, inscribe my name;
There let it fill some humble place
Beneath my Lord the Lamb.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die.
12.
In due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Though seed lie buried long in dust,
‘T will not deceive our hope;
The precious grain can ne’er be lost,
For grace insures the crop.
Let us not be weary in well doing.
13.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.
Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the judgment-day.
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love.
True faith unites to Christ the root,
By him producing holy fruit;
And they who no such fruit can show
Still on the stock of nature grow.
Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
15.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
Come, thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
16.
Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God 1 love;
Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it from thy courts above.
Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
17.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
O Lord, I would delight In thee,
And on thy care depend;
To thee in every trouble flee,
My best, my only friend.
So run, that ye may obtain.
18.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
All my times shall ever be
Ordered by thy wise decree:
Times of sickness, times of health,
Times of penury and wealth,
Times of trial and of grief,
Times of triumph and relief.
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
19.
Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Trials make the promise sweet,
Trials give new life to prayer;
Bring me to the Saviour’s feet,
Lay me low and keep me there.
We walk by faith, not by sight.
20.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
If he shed his precious blood
To bring me to his fold,
Can I think that any good
He ever will withhold?
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
21.
To him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
Be this my one great business here,
With holy trembling, holy fear,
To make my calling sure;
Thine utmost counsel to fulfil,
And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
22.
Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On thee, when sorrows rise—
On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
23.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Sovereign Ruler of the skies,
Ever gracious, ever wise,
All my times are in thy hand,
All events at thy command.
Walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
24.
The salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Lord, who hast suffered all for me,
My peace and pardon to procure,
The lighter cross I bear for thee,
Help me with patience to endure.
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
25.
Thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
26.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Let those that sow in sadness wait
Till the fair harvest come;
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
27.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Let us sing though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down;
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror’s crown.
He that washed us in his blood,
Soon will bring us home to God.
Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
28.
Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Mercy, good Lord, mercy I seek,
This is the total sum;
Mercy, through Christ, is all my suit,
Lord let thy mercy come.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
29.
Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
Poor, weak, and worthless though I am,
I have a rich almighty Friend;
Jesus the Saviour is his name—
He freely loves, and without end.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
30.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me.
Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright;
Though friends should all fail,
And foes all unite;
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide;
The Scripture assures us,
The Lord will provide.
Behold, God is mine helper.
31.
The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Though his majesty be great,
His mercy is no less;
Though he thy transgressions hate.
He feels for thy distress;
Yield not then to unbelief,
While he says, There yet is rooms
Though of sinners thou art chief,
Since Jesus calls thee, come.
Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
