Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
Psalm 16:9

In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Psalm 62:7

​

oly:


Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

Dear refuge of my weary soul, on Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, my fainting hope relies.
To Thee I tell each rising grief, for Thou alone canst heal,
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief, for every pain I feel.

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine,
The springs of comfort seem to fail, and all my hopes decline.
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee, Thou art my only trust,
And still my soul would cleave to Thee though bowing in the dust.

Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, and shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace, be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace, attends the mourner’s prayer,
Oh may I ever find access, to breathe my sorrows there.

Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat,
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.



Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Romans 4:20-21​

oly:


There Shall be a Performance of Those Things

There shall be a performance of those things
That loving heart hath waited long to see;
Those words shall be fulfilled to which my clings,
Because my God hath promised faithfully;
And, knowing Him, I ne’er can doubt His Word;
“He speaks and it is done.” The mighty Lord!

There shall be a performance of those things,
O burdened heart, rest ever in His care;
In quietness beneath His shadowing wings
Await the answer to thy longing prayer.
When thou hast “cast thy care,” the heart then sings,
There shall be a performance of those things.

There shall be a performance of those things,
O tired heart, believe and wait and pray;
At eventide the peaceful vesper rings,
Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.
Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars
The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.

There shall be a performance of those things,
O trusting heart, the Lord to thee hath told;
Let Faith and Hope arise, and plume their wings,
And soar towards the sunrise clouds of gold;
The portals of the rosy dawn swing wide,
Revealing joys the darkening night did hide.

A Symphony of One

Make us a symphony of One,
Focused upon One conductor,
Tuned to One concert pitch,
Submitted to One tempo.

Content to play One part,
Perfected to One sound,
Resulting in One purpose —
The praise of our Composer.

Free us from solo vain glory,
Content us to watch as we rest;
Ready to play our one measure,
Trusting our Maestro knows best.

Teach us love’s concert ambition,
Cleanse us from comparing pride;
Put to death vain competition,
Let harmony’s fruit now abide.

That Thou blessed Lord may have pleasure,
Diverse yet through unity one,
Accomplishing Your One true treasure,
The summation of all in Your Son.

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you;

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

In the world you will have tribulation;

John 16:33

oly:


In Jesus

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — Peace;
The heart of the whirlwind where its roarings cease,
A little home waiting, still and light and warm,
A safe sanctuary from the night and storm.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — Rest;
A sure place of refuge for the sore-opprest,
A guarded pavilion no device can take,
A strong-walled fortress no assault can shake.

In the world tribulation; but in Jesus — Joy;
A full cup of gladness that can never cloy,
A sweet fountain rising out of Marrah’s tide,
A spring of rejoicing that is never dried.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — Peace;
A deep, quiet harbor where the high waves cease,
A long-desired haven on a friendly shore,
Where the wild winds of oceans sweep the soul no more.

In the world, tribulation, trials all around,
For on earth no resting and no joys are found;
Let us flee to Jesus where all sorrows cease;
Here alone is gladness, here alone is peace.

[Delmar]

Psalm1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Delmar thanks for posting this in PTL III, what a blessing Psalm 1 is.

Here is something to go with Psalm 1 from Jeremiah...

Jeremiah 17:8
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.​

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12

​

oly:


One Day At A Time

One day at a time, with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear.

One day at a time to be patient and strong;
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.

One day at a time – but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,
O Thou pitying Christ, be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day.

Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
“Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will nor forsake thee; I never will leave.”

Not yesterday’s load we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow’s uncertain and shadowy care,
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.

One day at a time, and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.

The shadows of the passing night,
Again to conscious life returning,
We bless Thee for the newborn light.

Grant us that light, to all unfailing
Who seek to do Thy perfect will,
That we, o’er doubt and fear prevailing,
May trust Thy good above all ill;

That we may offer Thee thanksgiving
Beyond our prayers and songs that rise
In greater faithfulness of living,
In deeper love through sacrifice.

Psalm 61:1

O God, Regard My Humble Plea

O God, regard my humble plea;
I cannot be so far from Thee
But Thou wilt hear my cry;
When I by trouble am distressed,
Then lead me on the rock to rest
That higher is than I.

In Thee my soul hath shelter found,
And Thou hast been from foes around
The tower to which I flee.
Within Thy house will I abide;
My refuge sure, whate’er betide,
Thy sheltering wings shall be.

For Thou, my God, my vows hast heard,
On me the heritage conferred
Of those that fear Thy name;
A blest anointing Thou dost give,
And Thou wilt make me ever live
Thy praises to proclaim.

Before Thy face shall I abide;
O God, Thy truth and grace provide
To guard me in the way;
So I will make Thy praises known,
And, humbly bending at Thy throne,
My vows will daily pay.

How often has a gracious rain
On Thine inheritance,
When it was weary, wrought again
An inward radiance.

Thou Who upon the heavens dost ride,
What miracle of love Brings
Thee more swiftly to our side
Than even thought can move?

Our love is like a little pool,
Thy love is like the sea,
O beautiful, O wonderful,
How noble Love can be.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7​

There is what is called the “Cushion of the Sea.” Down beneath the surface that is agitated by storms, and driven about with winds, there is a part of the sea that is never stirred. The peace of God is that eternal calm which, like the cushion of the sea, laying far too deep down to be reached by external trouble and disturbance; and those who enter into the presence of God, becomes partaker of that undisturbed and undisturbable calm.​

oly:


Cushion of the Sea

When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
‘Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.

Far, far beneath, the noise of tempest dieth,
And silver waves chime ever peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flieth,
Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.

So to the heart that knows Thy love, O Purest,
There is a temple sacred evermore,
And all the babble of life’s angry voices
Dies in hushed silence at its peaceful door.

Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flieth,
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord, in Thee.

Sunday Morning Praise


Behold What Manner Of Man Is This

Behold what manner of man is this who stills the raging sea.
He heals the sick, the lame, the halt, and makes the blind to see.
He opens all the prison doors and sets the captives free.
Behold what manner of Man is this, what manner of man is He?

Behold what manner of man is this, who spake to the woman at the well.
Everlasting life I will give to thee, far richer than man can tell
And whosoever shall drink of the well shall live eternally.
Behold what manner of man is this, what manner of man is He?

Behold what manner of man is this, who healed the lame and halt,
Who says “Thy sins be forgiven thee, take up thy bed and walk.”
He stands as the mighty healer now and cries “Come unto me.”
Behold what manner of man is this what manner of man is He?

Behold what manner of man is this who stands between God and man,
His eyes are as a flame of fire seven stars are in His hand,
John saw Him in the seven churches as the sun in brilliancy,
Behold what manner of man is this, what manner of man is He?

Behold what manner of man is this, who sits on His heavenly throne,
He rules and reigns from heaven above His beloved and His own.
He’s the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David is He,
Behold what manner of man is this, what manner of man is He?

He is the Lord of Glory, He is the great “I AM”
The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.
His name is Wonderful, the Prince of Peace is He
He’s the everlasting Father Throughout eternity.

Revelation 20:2

Our Lord’s Return to Earth Again

I am watching for the coming of the glad millennial day,
When our blessèd Lord shall come and catch His waiting bride away.
Oh! my heart is filled with rapture as I labor, watch, and pray,
For our Lord is coming back to earth again.

Jesus’ coming back will be the answer to earth’s sorrowing cry,
For the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the earth and sea and sky.
God shall take away all sickness and the sufferer’s tears will dry,
When our Savior will come back to earth again.

Yes, the ransomed of the Lord shall come to Zion then with joy,
And in all His holy mountain nothing hurts or shall destroy.
Perfect peace shall reign in every heart, and love without alloy,
After Jesus shall come back to earth again.

Then the sin and sorrow, pain and death of this dark world shall cease,
In a glorious reign with Jesus of a thousand years of peace.
All the earth is groaning, crying for that day of sweet release,
For our Jesus shall come back to earth again.

Oh, our Lord is coming back to earth again.
Yes, our Lord is coming back to earth again.
Satan will be bound a thousand years, we’ll have no tempter then,
After Jesus shall come back to earth again.

The same came therefore to Philip…saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
John 12:21

oly:


We Would See Jesus

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife.
We would see Jesus, the great rock Foundation
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Nor life nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.

We would see Jesus; other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing;
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers
Round the dear objects it has loved so long,
And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers;
Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong.

We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away;
We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding
What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

Psalm 24:7, 10

The King of Glory Standeth

The King of Glory standeth beside the heart of sin;
His mighty voice commandeth the raging waves within;
The floods of deepest anguish roll backward at His will,
As o’er the storm ariseth His mandate, “Peace, be still.”

At times, with sudden glory, He speaks, and all is done;
Without one stroke of battle the victory is won,
While we, with joy beholding, can scarce believe it true
That e’en our kingly Jesus can form such hearts anew.

O Christ, Thy love is mighty; long suffering is Thy grace;
And glorious is the splendor that beameth from Thy face.
Our hearts upleap in gladness when we behold that love,
As we go singing onward, to dwell with Thee above.

With all my heart I love Him, because He first loved me.

I’m trusting, only trusting my Saviour’s hand to guide,
I know His grace sufficient, and ask for naught beside;
My soul is on the mountain, my home beyond the sea:
O bless the Lord! I love Him, because He first loved me.

Because He first loved me, I love Him, I trust Him,
Wherever I may be, my soul is full of glory,
I sing because I’m free; I love my blessed Saviour,
Because He first loved me, I love Him, I trust Him.

All my gain I count but loss;

Clouds they are that hide my day;
Hence, vain shadows! let me see

Lord, I Believe a Rest Remains

Lord, I believe a rest remains to all thy people known;
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, and thou art loved alone.
A rest where all our soul’s desire is fixed on things above;
Where doubt, and pain, and fear expire, cast out by perfect love.
From every evil motion freed, the Son hath made us free,
On all the powers of hell we tread, in glorious liberty.

Safe in the way of life, above death, earth, and dread we rise;
We find, when perfect in love, our long-sought paradise.
O that I now the rest might know, believe, and enter in!
Now, Savior, now the power bestow, and let me cease from sin!
Remove this hardness from my heart, this unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart, the Sabbath of thy love.

Come, O Savior, come away, upon my soul descend
No longer from thy creature stay, my Author and my End.
The bliss thou hast for me prepared no longer be delay’d;
Come, my exceeding great reward, for whom I first was made.
Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and seal me thine abode!
Let all I am in thee be lost, let all be lost in God.

Precious gems you cannot measure;

There’s a haven for the weary,
Saddened hearts may there find rest,
Cheerful when the day is dreary,
Pillowed on the Savior’s breast.

There’s a home and rest forever,
When the cares of earth are done,
Where the heart is weary never,
There is rest for everyone.

There is sweet rest for you;

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:2-3​

Not Down, But Through

“When Thou passest through the waters,”
Deep the waves may be and cold,
But Jehovah is our refuge,
And his promise is our hold;
For the Lord himself has said it,
He, the faithful God and true;
“When you come to the waters
You will not go down, but through.”

Seas of sorrow, Seas of trial,
Bitter anguish, fiercest pain,
Rolling surges of temptation
Sweeping over heart and soul...
They will never overflow us
For we know His work is true;
All His waves and all His billows
He will lead us safely through.

Threatening breakers of destruction,
Doubt’s insidious undertow,
Will not sink us, will not drag us
Out to ocean depths of woe;
For His promise will sustain us,
Praise the Lord, whose word is true!
We will not go down, or under,
For He says, “You will pass through.”
