We Are As Near To Heaven As

You Shall By Faith Sustain Yourself And Comfort Yourself In Your Lord, And Be Strong In His Power; For You Are In The Beaten And Common Way To Heaven, When You Are Under Our Lord's Crosses. You Have Reason To Rejoice In It, More Than In A Crown Of Gold; And Rejoice And Be Glad To Bear The Reproaches Of Christ.

No Created Powers Can Mar Our Lord Jesus' Music, Nor Spill Our Song Of Joy. Let Us Then Be Glad And Rejoice In The Salvation Of Our Lord

Christ Has No Velvet Crosses.

I Hang By A Thread, But It Is (if I May So Speak) Of Christ's Spinning

He Who Duly Esteemeth Christ, Is A Noble Bidder, And So A Noble And Liberal Buyer.
