    If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God’s covenant? Will not the distresses of life…

  • HOW CAN I HELP BUT LOVE HIM?

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Elton M. Roth, 1891–1951 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. (2…

  • Morning & Evening

    And who comforteth like him? Go to some poor, melancholy, distressed child of God; tell him sweet promises, and whisper in his ear choice words of comfort; he is like the deaf adder, he listens not to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely. He is drinking gall and wormwood, and comfort…

  • WHY SHOULD HE LOVE ME SO?

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Charles H. Gabriel, 1856–1932 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. (Psalm…

  • Morning & Evening

    Perhaps, O tried soul, the Lord is doing this to develop thy graces. There are some of thy graces which would never be discovered if it were not for thy trials. Dost thou not know that thy faith never looks so grand in summer weather as it does in winter? Love is too often like…

  • JESUS LOVES EVEN ME

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1838–1876 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (John 15:9) The wonder of Jesus’ deep love for each of us has been expressed in this text in beautiful but childlike language by the noted musician of early…

  • Morning & Evening

    Hagar had once found deliverance there and Ishmael had drank from the water so graciously revealed by the God who liveth and seeth the sons of men; but this was a merely casual visit, such as worldlings pay to the Lord in times of need, when it serves their turn. They cry to him in…

  • MORE LOVE TO THEE

    Amazing Grace Elizabeth Prentiss, 1818–1878 And this is my prayer: That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through…
