  • Morning & Evening

    Lo, I hear the voice of my Beloved! He speaks to me! Fair weather is smiling upon the face of the earth, and he would not have me spiritually asleep while nature is all around me awaking from her winter’s rest. He bids me “Rise up,” and well he may, for I have long enough…

  • CHRIST AROSE

  • Morning & Evening

    There are many occasions in our experience when we may very rightly, and with benefit, renew our covenant with God.

It is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father’s right hand, and though as Jehovah he…

  • THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

    Amazing Grace John of Damascus, early 8th centuryEnglish translation by John M. Neale, 1818–1866 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV) This hymn from the early eighth century is one of the oldest expressions found in most hymnals. Its origin is rooted in the liturgy…

  • Morning & Evening

    The marrow of Job’s comfort lies in that little word “My”—“My Redeemer,” and in the fact that the Redeemer lives. Oh! to get hold of a living Christ. We must get a property in him before we can enjoy him. What is gold in the mine to me? Men are beggars in Peru, and beg…

  • ALL GLORY, LAUD AND HONOR

    Amazing Grace Theodolph of Orleans, 760–82lTranslated by John M. Neale, 1818–1866 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem.
