SONG

I look into my Bible
And it is brightly lit
With grace and truth and mercy
For Jesus is in it.

I look up to the heaven
Where grace would have me sit:
A place of love and glory
For Jesus is in it.

I look into my bosom
Where all was once unfit,
Now filled with love and gladness
Since Jesus is in it.

JESUS IS MY SAVIOUR

 Jesus is my Saviour, Jesus is my Friend,
Jesus is my Shepherd, guiding to the end;
Jesus is my Master, Jesus is my Lord,
Jesus is my Shield and very great Reward;
Jesus is my Sunshine, Jesus is my Day,
Jesus is my Leader in the heavenly way.

Do you know the Saviour? Do you have a Friend?
Do you know the Man on whom you can depend?
Do you know the Master? Do you call Him Lord?
Are you bound to Jesus by faith's eternal cord?
Do you walk in sunshine? Do you know the day
Which goes and brightens to eternity.

He will be your Saviour if you trust in Him:
He will give you sunshine which will never dim;
When you know the Master, when you know the Lord
You with those who love him will sing with one accord:
"Jesus is my Saviour, Jesus is my Friend,
Jesus is my Shepherd guiding to the end!"

THE WORD OF GOD

Alpha and Omega,
Alpha and Omega,
Thine be the praise!
Each letter sounds for Thee,
Each word redounds to Thee,
Each song propounds through Thee
Each forming phrase.

Thou art the Word of God,
Thou art the Word of God
Coming again;
Riding a horse of white
Thou wilt come forth in might
To vindicate the right,
To judge and reign.

EXTRACT

Just looking at this passage of ministry again and thought it was something to share:
Extract from comments on the Oblation, Leviticus 2

In a word, then, His humanity was perfect, all subject to God, all in immediate answer to His will, and the expression of it, and so necessarily in harmony. The hand that struck the chord found all in tune: all answered to the mind of Him whose thoughts of grace and holiness, of goodness, yet of judgment of evil, whose fulness of blessing in goodness were sounds of sweetness to every weary ear, and found in Christ their only expression. Every element, every faculty in His humanity, responded to the impulse which the divine will gave to it, and then ceased in a tranquillity in which self had no place. Such was Christ in human nature. While firm where need demanded, meekness was what essentially characterised Him as to contrast with others, because He was in the presence of God, His God, and all that in the midst of evil, — His voice was not heard in the street, — for joy can break forth in louder strains when all shall echo, "Praise his name, his glory".

VERSE FOR A BRIDE AND GROOM

We gather for your happy day
  But soon we have to sever;
The wedding clothes are for a day:
  The Best Robe is forever!

THE WORD

"Amen, amen",
These were Thy words, O Lord;
And those Thy truth acquired Thee bow
Acknowledging with joy that Thou
Art the Amen.

Faithful and True

Thou wilt come forth to judge;
All powers will bend before Thy might,

All kings be subject to Thy right;

Faithful and True.


Thou art the Word

As come near as a Man;
Through Thee the mind of God is known;
In Thee the min of God is shown:
Thou art the Word.

CHRIST JESUS

Christ Jesus came into the world
To save me and you in our sins;
In Him all our guilt is removed;
In Him our new blessing begins.

And thus we rejoice in the Man
Christ Jesus, the ransom for all,
Who faithfully answers God's heart
And faithfully answers our call.

And thus let the mind that was in
Christ Jesus imbue His redeemed,
While He who descended in love
Is daily more fully esteemed.

Rejoice: you are chosen in Him
And reached through His down-stooping ways:
Rejoice: the assembly in Him
Forever will live for His praise.

O SON OF DAVID

O Son of David Thou shalt reign
In gracious righteousness
When come to Israel again
To judge and rule and bless.
