Today

 Lord, give me strength, I pray,
To live my life this day!
To live it right,
With all my might,
Without mistake,
And for Thy sake.

When fear besets my way,
Let me the question lay...
Before Thy throne,
Where all is known,
Where what is best,
Will meet Thy test.

Should my day be drear,
Keep Thou me near...
To hear Thy voice,
And thus rejoice
That Thou art mine
And I am Thine.

What is the Bible?

 'Tis a fountain ever flowing,
Whence the weary may obtain
Water for the soul that's thirsty,
That shall never thirst again.

'Tis a lamp forever burning;
By whose never dying light;
Sinners from their errors turning,
Are directed in the light.

'Tis a mine of richest treasures,
Laden with the purest ore;
And its contents without measure
You can evermore explore.

'Tis a tree whose fruit unfailing,
Cheers and stay the fainting soul,
And whose leaves, the nation's healing
Carry joy from pole to pole.

That Name

 That name I just heard is delightfully sweet,
Jesus is Christ and Him you must meet;
Now He is meeting poor sinners in grace,
He knocks at your heart.  Oh give Him a place.
He hears you blaspheme; but O, if you knew,
How much He loves sinners, how much He loves you.

You would fall at His feet and adoringly sing,
Jesus! my Saviour! my Lord and my King!
'Twas for this that He died on Calvary's tree,
That sinners, the worst, for judgment be free;
He's now up in glory - a Man on God's throne,
But He's coming again, and it may be quite soon.

He left us this message, while He is above,
A message of mercy, a message of love;
Tell sinners I love them...tell Adam's whole race,
That this is the day of My patience and grace.

Yea, more...go beseech them for Me;
Beseech by My blood; by My death on the tree,
It cleanses from sin and fits them to be
At once and forever in Glory with Me.

Oh, these are sweet words, and wondrous to tell,
How God in His mercy saves sinners from hell.
The story's so simple; so plain to the lost,
To be saved without doing...saved at God's cost.
To be saved as ungodly, unrighteous, undone,
To be saved by faith in the blood of His Son.

Christ for Everything

Christ for life, and
Christ for living,
Christ for health, and
Christ for healing,
Christ for night, and
Christ for day,
Christ for all along the way;
Christ the all-sufficient Friend,
Christ abiding to the end.
