Proverbs 14:26

• [Pro 14:26] Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

  Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet, O trysting place where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet! As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was given, So seems my Savior’s cross to me, a ladder up to heaven. There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave. Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess; The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Proverbs 22:19

• [Pro 22:19] Mother’s Goodbye, The

  Sit down by the side of your mother, my boy, You have only a moment, I know; But you’ll stay till I give you my parting advice, ’Tis all that I have to bestow. You leave us to seek for employment, my boy, By the world you have yet to be tried; But in all the temptations and struggles you meet, May your heart in the Savior confide. Refrain Hold fast to the right, Hold fast to the right, Wherever your footsteps may roam; O forsake not the way of salvation, my boy, That you learned from your mother at home. You’ll find in your satchel a Bible, my boy, ’Tis the book of all others the best; It will teach you to live, it will help you to die, And lead to the gates of the blest. I gave you to God, in your cradle, my boy, I have taught you the best that I knew; And as long as His mercy permits me to live, I shall never cease praying for you. Refrain Your father is coming to bid you goodbye, O how lonely and sad we shall be; But when far from the scenes of your childhood and youth, You’ll think of your father and me. I want you to feel every word I have said, For it came from the depths of my love; And, my boy, if we never behold you on earth, Will you promise to meet us above? Refrain
