• “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink

The Unfailing One

‘He faileth not.’— Zeph. iii. 5.

I.
He who hath led, will lead
All through the wilderness ;
He who hath fed, will feed;
He who hath blessed, will bless
He who hath heard thy cry,
Will never close His ear;
He who hath marked thy faintest sigh.
Will not forget thy tear. He loveth always, faileth never ;
So rest on Him, to-day, for ever!
II.
He who hath made thee whole
Will heal thee day by day;
He who hath spoken to thy soul
Hath many things to say.
He who hath gently taught
Yet more will make thee know;
He who so wondrously hath wrought
Yet greater things will show.
He loveth always, faileth never;
So rest on Him, to-day, for ever !
III.
He who hath made thee nigh
Will draw thee nearer still;
He who hath given the first supply
Will satisfy and fill.
He who hath given thee grace
Yet more and more will send;
He who hath set thee in the race
Will speed thee to the end.
He loveth always, faileth never ;
So rest on Him, to-day, for ever !
IV.
He who hath won thy heart
Will keep it true and free ;
He who hath shown thee what thou art
Will show Himself to thee.
He who hath bid thee live.
And made thy life His own.
Life more abundantly will give.
And keep it His alone ;
He loveth always, faileth never ;
So rest on Him, to-day, for ever!
V.
Then trust Him for to-day
As thine unfailing Friend,
And let Him lead thee all the way,
Who loveth to the end.
And let the morrow rest
In His beloved hand;
His good is better than our best.
As we shall understand,—
If, trusting Him who faileth never.
We rest on Him, to-day, for ever

Verse of the Day

[Confidence and Compassion in Prayer] Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. — 1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
