Pleasant Portraits

Read:  Psalm 133 / Proverbs 19 / Song 1 /Luke 6

 

Psalm 133:1-3 ~ Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment… as the dew of Hermon… for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Proverbs 19:12 ~ The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.

Song of Solomon 1:3,4 ~ Because of the savor of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth… Draw me…  we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love.

Luke 6:5 ~ And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

 

How good and pleasant are the scenes

That have portrayed our wondrous Savior! 

The high priest for us intervenes,

And heaven’s dew descends with favor! 

 

Our hearts are set on things above

Since Jesus is our Sabbath Rest. 

How gladly we recall His love:

He bore the curse for those He blessed!
