  • HIS MATCHLESS WORTH

    Amazing Grace Samuel Medley, 1738–1799 Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You.

  • Morning & Evening

    Jesus was the Lord High Admiral of the sea that night, and his presence preserved the whole convoy. It is well to sail with Jesus, even though it be in a little ship. When we sail in Christ’s company, we may not make sure of fair weather, for great storms may toss the vessel which…

    This teaches us that the comfort obtained by one may often prove serviceable to another; just as wells would be used by the company who came after.
