In Him I live, upon Him cast my care;
He saves from death, destruction, and despair.

Through floods and flames He leads me safely on,
And daily makes His sovereign goodness known.

Like the original readers, we are in two realms, that of this present world and that of Christ’s kingdom. It is in the latter that these spiritual blessings are manifest. Let’s take one for instance. Spiritually, in the [...]

Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears:
Before the throne my surety stands,
Before the throne my surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
He ever lives above, for me to intercede;
His all redeeming love, His precious blood, to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned [...]
