To Others an "Ensample"

"Those things, which ye have both Warned, and received, and heard, and seen in
Me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you" (Philippians 4:9).

It is well when a man can with advantage be so minutely copied as Paul might
have been. Oh, for grace to imitate him this day and every day! Should we,
through divine grace, carry into practice the Pauline teaching, we may claim
the promise which is now open before us; and what a promise it is! God, who
loves peace, makes peace, and breathes peace, will be with us. "Peace be with
you" is a sweet benediction; but for the God of peace to be with us is far
more. Thus we have the fountain as well as the streams, the sun as well as his
beams. If the God of peace be with us, we shall enjoy the peace of God which
passeth all understanding, even though outward circumstances should threaten to
disturb. If men quarrel, we shall be sure to be peacemakers, if the Maker of
peace be with us.It is in the way of truth that real peace is found. If we quit
the faith or leave the path of righteousness under the notion of promoting
peace, we shall be greatly mistaken. First pure, then peaceable, is the order
of wisdom and of fact. Let us keep to Paul's line, and we shall have the God of
peace with us as He was with the apostle.

610 8.7.4. W. GADSBY
Panting for Christ, the Friend of Sinners. Ps. 42. 1

1 Precious Jesus! Friend of sinners; We, as such, to thee draw near;
Let thy Spirit now dwell in us,
And with love our souls inspire;
Fill, O fill us
With that love which casts out fear.

2 Matchless Saviour! let us view thee As the Lord our Righteousness;
Cause each soul to cleave unto thee, Come, and with thy presence bless.
Dear Immanuel,
Feast us with thy sovereign grace.

3 Open now thy precious treasure:
Let the blessings freely flow;
Give to each a gracious measure
Of thy glory here below;
Loving Bridegroom,
'Tis thyself we want to know.

4 [Come, and claim us as thy portion, And let us lay claim to thee;
Leave us not to empty notion,
But from bondage set us free;
King of glory!
We would live and reign with thee.]
