Matthew 23

• [Mat 23:8] Brothers, Joining Hand To Hand

  Brothers, joining hand to hand, In one bond united, Pressing onward to that land Where all wrongs are righted: Let your words and actions be Worthy your vocation; Chosen of the Lord, and free, Heirs of Christ’s salvation. Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life, Who hath gone before you Through the turmoil and the strife, Holds His banner o’er you; All who see the sacred sign Press towards Heav’ns portal, Fired by hope that is divine, Love that is immortal. They who follow fear no foe, Care not who assail them; Where the Master leads, they go, He will never fail them; Courage, brothers! we are one, In the love that sought us; Soon the warfare shall be done, Through the grace He brought us.

• [Mat 23:37] As Birds Their Infant Brood Protect

  As birds their infant brood protect, And spread their wings to shelter them, Thus saith the Lord to His elect, “So will I guard Jerusalem.” And what then is Jerusalem, This darling object of His cares? Where is its worth in God’s esteem? Who built it? Who inhabits there? Jehovah founded it in blood, The blood of His incarnate Son; There dwell the saints, once foes to God The sinners whom He calls His own. There, though besieged on every side, Yet much beloved and guarded well, From age to age they have defied The utmost force of earth and hell. Let earth repent, and hell despair, This city has a sure defense; Her name is called, “The Lord is there,” And who has power to drive Him hence?
