Matthew 6:26

• [Mat 6:26] There’s Not A Bird With Lonely Nest

  There’s not a bird with lonely nest, In pathless wood or mountain crest, Nor meaner thing, which does not share, O God, in Thy paternal care. Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds Thee within its solitude; And Thou dost bless the wand’rer there, Who makes his solitary prayer. In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent’s tenderness. And we, where’er our lot is cast, While life, and thought, and feeling last, Through all the years, in every place, Will bless Thee for Thy boundless grace.

Matthew 7:11

• [Mat 7:11] O Thou That Hearest Prayer

  O Thou that hearest prayer, Attend our humble cry, And let Thy servants share Thy blessing from on high: We plead the promise of Thy Word; Grant us Thy Holy Spirit, Lord. If earthly parents hear Their children when they cry, If they, with love sincere, Their children’s wants supply, Much more wilt Thou Thy love display, And answer when Thy children pray. Our heavenly Father, Thou! We, children of Thy grace! O let Thy Spirit now Descend, and fill the place; That all may feel the heavenly flame, And all unite to praise Thy Name. O may that sacred Fire, Descending from above, Our quickened hearts inspire With fervent zeal and love, Enlighten our beclouded eyes, And teach our earth-bound souls to rise. And send Thy Spirit down On all the nations, Lord, With great success to crown The preaching of Thy Word; Till heathen lands shall own Thy sway, And cast their idol-gods away.

Matthew 16:27

• [Mat 16:27] Last Mile Of The Way, The

  If I walk in the pathway of duty, If I work till the close of the day; I shall see the great King in His beauty, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain When I’ve gone the last mile of the way, I will rest at the close of the day, And I know there are joys that await me, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. If for Christ I proclaim the glad story, If I seek for His sheep gone astray, I am sure He will show me His glory, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain Here the dearest of ties we must sever, Tears of sorrow are seen ev’ry day; But no sickness, no sighing forever, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain And if here I have earnestly striven, And have tried all His will to obey, ’Twill enhance all the rapture of Heaven, When I’ve gone the last mile of the way. Refrain

Matthew 20:23

• [Mat 20:23] Oh! What, If We Are Christ’s

  Oh! what, if we are Christ’s, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the cross. Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ’s suffeirngs shared below: Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where, on the bosom of their God, They rest in perfect love. Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief or pain May be our portion here. Enough if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest beneath Thy feet, Where saints and angels live. All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom Heav’n and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore.
