He Is Near!
He Is Near I know not in what watch He comesOr at what hour He may appear,Whether at midnight or at morn,Or in what season of the year;I only know that He is near. The centuries have gone and come,Dark centuries of absence drear;I dare not chide the long delay,Nor ask when I His voice […]
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth Here Peace alighted once,But could not find a home,To Him who brought it, earthCould give no room. Him and His peace man would not have,And in this Child of peaceMan saw no heavenly excellence,No grace, no comeliness.

Resting
Resting Resting on the faithfulness of Christ our Lord,Resting on the fulness of His own sure Word,Resting on His wisdom, on His love and power,Resting on His covenant from hour to hour.Resting in the fortress while the foe is nigh,Resting in the lifeboat while the waves roll high,Resting in His chariot for the swift, glad […]

The Violent
The Violent Yes, the Savior’s yoke is easy,And His grace is free to all,But the careless don’t embrace it,When they hear the gospel call. Though the will of man can’t birth it;Cannot choose the kingdom’s course,Yet the violent—Scripture tells us—Take it to themselves by force. If you’re asking, seeking, knocking,Eager to be freed from sin,Christ, […]

Not Ready to Die
Not Ready to Die The flower of youth though but recently fled,The sentence of death has been passed on my head.My heart is unwilling, my conscience can’t rest,My life’s not in order, by fears I’m oppressed,’Cause I am not ready,Not ready to die. I know in my head that the answer is Christ,That I can […]
