Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? —
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
Isaiah 63:1

oly:


The Coming One

Who is this that cometh in the starlit glow,
As a newborn infant, to the manger low;
While the shepherds wonder at the wondrous sight,
While the angel chorus wakes the silent night?

Who is this that cometh, this poor Nazarene,
With His timely counsel, with His faultless mien;
With His help and healing for the lame, the blind,
For the poor, the needy, for the burdened mind?

Who is this that cometh, spurning earthly gain,
To the midnight garden, to the cross of pain;
Cometh forth triumphant, from the sealed grave,
Cometh in His beauty, in His might to save?

’Tis the Meek and Lowly, Just and Holy One;
This is He that cometh — God’s beloved Son:
’Tis the Meek and Lowly, Just and Holy One;
This is He that cometh — God’s beloved Son.

Mighty to save.
Isaiah 63:1

The Saving Power

On the earth, long ago, dwelt the Savior of men
As a lowly and meek Nazarene;
And His wonderful pow’r is the same now as then —
For He washed me and made me clean.
Oh, the wondrous, marvelous saving power,
Of the everlasting Prince, Savior, King;
For He washed me in the flood of his precious,
Saving blood, and forever His praise I’ll sing.

I have set the LORD always before me;

I Have Set the Lord

I set Thy love between the world and me,
O Lord, it cruelty, its wrong, its scorn;
They cannot reach me through Thy tenderness
That once for me their worst has known and borne.

I set Thy cross between my sins and me,
That so their shadow darken not my days,
Nor rob my nights of rest, Thy blood blots out
The long indictment from my shrinking gaze.

I set Thy prayers between my doubts and me,
That so my faith shall fail not, but abide,
Though tried and tested sore; that shield shall serve
All fiery darts to quench or turn aside.

I set Thy strength between my foes and me,
And walk, so guarded, panoplied and girt,
Through dangers seen and unseen, unafraid;
Through flames unscorched and raging waves unhurt.

I set Thy thoughts between my thoughts and me,
The calm, pure visions of Thy holy mind,
Till nothing that disturbs me or defiles,
Into my heart or soul can entrance find.

I set Thy self between my self and me,
And losing mine, Thy life abundant gain;
Take Thy sufficiency for my deep need,
And to Thy perfect stature so attain.

Now I Belong to Jesus

Jesus, my Lord will love me forever,

Jesus belongs to me,
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.

O the New, New Song

There are songs of joy that I loved to sing,
When my heart was blithe as a bird in spring,
But the song I have learned is so full of cheer,
That the dawn shines out in the darkness drear.

There are strains of home that are dear as life,
And I list to them oft ’mid the din of strife;
But I know of a home that is wondrous fair,
And I sing the psalm they are singing there.

Can my lips be mute, or my heart be sad,
When the gracious Master hath made me glad?
When He points where the many mansions be,
And sweetly says, There is one for thee?

I shall catch the gleam of its jasper wall
When I come to the gloom of the even fall,
For I know that the shadows, dreary and dim,
Have a path of light that will lead to Him.

O the new, new song! O the new, new song!
I can sing it now with the ransomed throng:
Power and dominion to Him that shall reign,
Glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain.

I’ve something in my heart that Jesus gave to me,
It makes me feel like singing glory all the day;
He found my captive soul and gave me liberty,
And now I feel like singing glory!
He makes the path grow brighter ev’ry passing day;
He makes the burden lighter all along the way;
His Word is my delight, His will I now obey,
And all the time I’m singing glory!

To comfort the heart that is sore and oppressed.

We pine in the bondage that sin has thrown o’er us,
We long for the joy and the freedom of home —
To join in the swell of the glorified chorus,
To drink of the river that flows from the throne.

Wonderful river! Wonderful river!
Gladdening the plains where the ransomed abide:
Flow onward forever, wonderful, wonderful river!
Pure as thy source, which no darkness can hide!

For we are sojourners and pilgrims before You, as were all our fathers.
1 Chronicles 29:15​

The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:10, 12​

oly:


Time, By Moments, Steals Away

Time, by moments, steals away, first the hour, and then the day;
Small the daily loss appears, yet it soon amounts to years:
Thus another year is flown, now it is no more our own
If it brought or promised good, than the years before the flood.

But may none of us forget it has left us much in debt;
Favors from the Lord received, sins that have His Spirit grieved;
Marked by an unerring hand in His book recorded stand;
Who can tell the vast amount, placed to each of our account?

Happy, the believing soul! Christ for you has paid the whole;
While you own the debt is large, you may plead a full discharge:
But poor careless sinner, say, what can you to justice pay?
Tremble, lest when life is past, into prison you be cast!

Will you still increase the score? Still be careless, as before?
O, forbid it, gracious Lord, touch their spirits by Thy Word!
Now, in mercy, to them show what a mighty debt they owe!
All their unbelief subdue, let them find forgiveness too.

Spared to see another year, let Thy blessing meet us here;
Come, Thy dying work revive, bid Thy drooping garden thrive:
Sun of righteousness arise, warm our hearts, and bless our eyes;
Let our prayer Thy heart move, make the next year a time of love!

I am with you always.
Matthew 28:20

Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine, living with Jesus, a new life divine;

Moment by moment I’m kept in His love, moment by moment I’ve life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine, moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

In safety leads through danger’s darkest hour,
Here in Thy temple bow Thy children down,
To bless Thy mercy and Thy might to own.

Thine are the beams that cheer us on our way,
And pour around the gladdening light of day;
Thine is the night, and the fair orbs that shine
To cheer its hours of darkness; all are Thine.

If round our path the thorns of sorrow grew,
And mortal friends were faithless, Thou wast true;
Did sickness shake the frame, or anguish tear
The wounded spirit, Thou was present there.

O lend Thine ear, and lift our voice to Thee;
Where’er we dwell, still let Thy mercy be;
From year to year still nearer to Thy shrine
Draw our frail hearts, and make them wholly Thine.

By Thy care we still are aided, by Thy hand we still are fed.

Thou hast kept us, God of glory, since the last New Year began;
Still proclaiming the sweet story, of Thy wondrous love to man.
Shall we longer keep Him waiting, who for us hath waited long?
He to whom both soul and body, heart and life, and all belong?

From this moment, Holy Jesus, may our hearts be wholly Thine!
Then we’ll sing that best of praises, “I am His, and He is mine.”

Then in Thee we shall inherit happiness eternally.

Lord of glory! we adore Thee now before Thee in another year;

Better Than My Best

I prayed for strength, and then I lost awhile
All sense of nearness, human and divine;
The love I leaned on failed and pierced my heart,
The hands I clung to loosed themselves from mine;
But while I swayed, weak trembling, and alone,
The everlasting arms upheld my own.

I prayed for light; the sun went down in clouds,
The moon was darkened by a misty doubt,
The stars of heaven were dimmed by earthly fears,
And all my little candle flames burned out;
But while I sat in shadow, wrapped in night,
The face of Christ made all the darkness bright.

I prayed for peace, and dreamed of restful ease,
A slumber free from pain, a hushed repose;
Above my head the skies were black with storm,
And fiercer grew the onslaught of my foes;
But while the battle raged, and wild winds blew,
I heard His voice and perfect peace I knew.

I thank you, Lord, You were too wise to heed
My feeble prayers, and answer as I sought,
Since these rich gifts Your bounty has bestowed
Have brought me more than all I asked or thought;
Giver of good, so answer each request
With your own giving, better than my best.

What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
Psalm 116:12

Give of Your Best to the Master

Give of your best to the Master; give of the strength of your youth.
Throw your soul’s fresh, glowing ardor into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example, dauntless was He, young and brave.
Give Him your loyal devotion; give Him the best that you have.
Give of your best to the Master; naught else is worthy His love.
He gave Himself for your ransom, gave up His glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur, you from sin’s ruin to save.
Give Him your heart’s adoration; give Him the best that you have.

I Do Not Ask, O Lord

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be a pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me aught of its load.
I do not ask that flowers should always spring beneath my feet;
I know too well the poison and the sting of things too sweet.

For one thing, only Lord, dear Lord, I plead: lead me aright,
Though strength should falter and heart should bleed, through peace to light.
I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed full radiance here
Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread without a fear.

I do not ask my cross to understand, my way to see,
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand, and follow Thee.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine like quiet night,
Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, through peace to light.

That you could find a place to hide?
To hide from folks who come your way
With endless problems day by day?
To hide from all that lies ahead,
The unseen foes and griefs you dread?
To flee decisions you must make,
Avoid the path that you must take?
To run away and find a spot
Where even self can be forgot?

Earth has no place as such you seek —
No place of refuge for the weak;
For ev'ry shelter here on earth
Soon proves to be of little worth
And we are left alone to face
The woes that plague the human race.

BUT WAIT!! The Rock of Ages — He still stands,
A refuge from all life's demands;
A place to hide — to weep — to rest;
A place to hover and be blest.

Holding forth His nail pierced hands —
A covert from the storm is He,
Saying, “Come, and hide in Me.”

There is refuge for me, too, I know,
Though all in this world is confusion.

In the blood shed for me on that day
The cross Thou didst suffer, Lord Jesus.

He said to them,
“When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”
So they said, “Nothing.”
Luke 22:35
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:34

Step by Step

When the shadows thickly gather,
Clouding all thy onward way,
Think not what shall be tomorrow;
Seek God’s help just for today.

Should the coming days bring burdens,
Or be fraught with grief or care,
Trust Him in the hour of trial,
He will make thee strong to bear.

Daily strength He ever giveth,
For each day rich grace bestows;
And each morrow, as it dawneth,
Still His lovingkindness shows.

Then why should we shrink or falter
When the onward path looks dim,
Knowing light will never fail us
While we walk by faith with Him?

Step by step He leads me onward,
Step by step the way reveals;
But what in the future lieth,
In His mercy He conceals.

Lord, I will follow You.
Luke 9:61

I will follow Thee

I will follow Thee, my Savior, wheresoe’er my lot may be.
Where Thou goest I will follow, yes, my Lord, I’ll follow Thee.
I will follow Thee, my Savior, Thou didst shed Thy blood for me;
And though all men should forsake me, by Thy grace I’ll follow Thee.


Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Blessings, peace, grace and to all here at TOL!

Sunday Morning Praise

Hear Us, O Lord

Hear us, O Lord, from Heaven Thy dwelling place:
Like them of old, in vain we toil all the day and night,
Unless with us Thou go, who art the Light,
Come then, O Lord, that we may see Thy face.
Thou, Lord, doest rule the raging of the sea,
When loud the storm and furious is the gale:
Strong is Thine arm; our little barques are frail:
Send us Thy help; remember Galilee.

Our wives and children we commend to Thee:
For them we plough the land and plough the deep;
For them by day the golden corn we reap,
By night the silver harvest of the sea.
We thank Thee, Lord, for sunshine, dew and rain,
Broadcast from heaven by Thine almighty hand —
Source of all life, unnumbered as the sand —
Bird, beast, and fish, herb, fruit and golden grain.

O Bread of Life, Thou in Thy Word hast said,
Who feeds in faith on Me shall never die!
In mercy hear Thy hungry children’s cry —
Father, give us this day our daily bread!
Sow in our hearts the seeds of Thy dear love,
That we may reap contentment, joy, and peace;
And when at last our earthly labors cease,
Grant us to join Thy harvest home above.



Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

Blessings, peace, grace and to all here at TOL!
