Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, waiting in his courts today; Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest: Day of all the week the best, emblem of eternal rest.

If the Lord Be With Us
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer – His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.

Two Lessons to Learn
When I was young, I was sure of many things. Now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Savior. He is well-taught, who learns these two lessons.

Our Physician
Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust in his skill and thank him for his prescriptions.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode:
On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded, thou may’st smile at all thy foes.
— John Newton
