• “How very narrow is the gate that leads to a life in God! (Mt 7:14) How little one must be to pass through it, it being nothing else but death to self! But when we have passed through it, what enlargement do we find! David said, ‘He brought me forth also in a large place’ (Ps. 18:19). And it was through humiliation and abasement that he was brought there.” – from Madame Guyon’s autobiography Ch. 22

Thou Mighty To Save by Fanny Crosby

Published June 27, 2018 | By womenofchristianity

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  Acts 4:12

For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  Colossians 2:9

O Jesus, my Lord and Saviour,
Who gavest Thy life for me,
No room in my heart for pleasures
That have not their trust in Thee;
Earth has no abiding city,
Not here is my place of rest,
I seek for a brighter country,
A home with the pure and blest.The world like a dream will vanish,
The hope like the years decay,
Its beauties like dewy blossoms
Will wither and pass away;
But Thou wilt abide unchanging,
My sure defense wilt be;
O Jesus my Lord and Saviour,
I’m trusting alone in Thee.

O what are the toils and labors,
The crosses that now I bear.
Compared with the crown immortal
Laid up for my soul to wear?
‘Twill matter to me but little,
What conflicts I have passed,
When, after the strife is ended,
I rest at Thy feet at last.

Chorus:
And O, when my course is finished,
And victor’s palm I wave,
To Thee will I give the glory,
O Thou, who art mighty to save,
To Thee will I give the glory,
O Thou, who art mighty to save.
—Fanny Crosby
