    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Frederick M. Lehman, 1868–1953 The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save.

  • Morning & Evening

    What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when he had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we…

  • IMMORTAL LOVE – FOREVER FULL

  • Morning & Evening

    It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without his Father’s permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the Father, that he might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to forget that, while there are distinctions as to the persons in the Trinity, there are no…

    Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every day—how he hath borne with thine ill manners—how he hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots…

  • JESUS, THOU JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

    Amazing Grace Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091–1153Translated by Ray Palmer, 1808–1887 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11) This song is another of the fine hymn texts that originated during the Middle Ages. It is thought to have been…

  • Morning & Evening

    This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth…

  • WALK IN THE LIGHT

    Amazing Grace Bernard Barton, 1784–1849 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin. (1 John 1:7) How beautiful to walk in the steps of the SaviorLed in paths of light.— E. Hewitt…
