Day 6: Nourished on truth
If you point [the truths of Scripture] out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly (1 Timothy 4:6-7).
In Thy holy place we bow, Perfumes sweet to heaven rise, While our golden censers glow
With the fire of sacrifice.
Saints low bending, prayers ascending, Holy lips and hands implore; Faith believing and receiving Grace from Him whom we adore.
Holy light doth fill this place, Spirit light our way to guide; In the presence of Thy face
Sin and darkness ne’er can hide.
Heaven’s gleaming, fullness streaming, Life and truth for man is found; Light pervading, never fading, Lighting all the world around.
On Thy holy bread we feed, Hunger nevermore to know; Thou suppliest all our need;
Father, whither shall we go?
Ne’er forsaking, here partaking Bread our souls to satisfy; Here abiding and confiding,
We shall never want nor die.
~ Samuel F. Coffman ~ 1901
Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word!
Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me,
As Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace, my all in all.
Thou art the bread of life, O Lord, to me,
Thy holy Word the truth that saveth me;
Give me to eat and live with Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art love.
O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes, and make me see:
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see the Lord.
~ Mary A. Lathbury ~ 1877
~ Alexander Groves, v. 3-4, pub.1913
