Psalms 27:5) For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
When I can trust my all with God,
In trial's fearful hour -
Bow, all resign'd beneath His rod,
And bless His sparing power;
A joy springs up amid distress,
A fountain in the wilderness.

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
Romans 8:28 .) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God will keep His own anointed;
Naught shall harm them, none condemn;
All their trials are appointed;
All must work for good to them;
All shall help them
To their heavenly diadem.

PEACE IN DEATH
Psalms 37:37) Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
How bless'd the righteous when he dies,
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expiring breast!
Life's labour done, as sinks the clay,
Light from it's load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
"How bless'd the righteous when he dies!"

DUTIES OF THE BELIEVER ----- PERSONAL
Titus 3:8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Whate'ere is noble, pure, refined,
Just, generous, amiable, and kind,
This may my constant thoughts pursue,
That may I love and practice too.

GOOD WORKS TO BE DONE AFTER THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST
1 John 2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
To do his Heavenly Father's will
Was his employment and delight;
Humility and holy zeal
Shone through his life divinely bright.

Amen
Then shall we do, with pure delight,
Whate,er is pleasing in Thy sight,
As vessels of Thy richest grace;
And, having Thy whole counsel done,
to Thee and Thy co-equal Son
Ascribe the everlasting praise.

IMPROVEMENT OF TIME
Romans 13:11) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The time is short, but who can tell
How short his time below may be?
To-day on earth his soul may dwell,
To-morrow in eternity.
