Conquering Captain

Read:  Psalm 88 / Proverbs 25 / 1 Samuel 18 /John 5

Psalm 88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
Proverbs 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
1 Samuel 18:12-14 Saul... made him his captain... and he went out and came in before the people.  And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
John 5:24-25 He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Our Conquering Captain is risen!
Now where is your victory, O grave? 
And where is your dreadful derision,
O death, with the sting that you gave? 

When David was wise in behavior,
He conquered, and thus grew in fame. 
Much more now, we boast in our Savior,
Exalting His glorious name!
