PSALM 100
is His precious blood. I t is interesting to note that everyone can make a noise. How long O U R W O N D ER FU L LORD Whatever Christ touched was trans formed by His love— The manger, the cross, and the tomb; The Light of the World turned sin's night into day, And death has been shorn of its gloom. The multitudes fed on the bread from His hand, The lame leaped for joy at His word; The blind saw His beauty, and shouted His praise, The leper was healed by the Lord. The sinner was cleansed and went forth uncondemned, The thief on the cross was reclaimed; One touch of His love, and the heart was made pure, Oh, many His power proclaimed! One wonderful day His great love touched my heart, And then, by His mercy and grace, The darkness all fled as His love- light shone in Transformed by His tender embrace. Today how the world needs the touch of His hand, To heal the deep wounds of despair; For men need to hear Christ's blest message of love, A love with which none can com pare. Then let us speak forth the glad tidings anew, And words of salvation proclaim; For still He Is mighty to save and to keep, Through faith in His marvelous Name. — 'Albert Simpson Reitz has it been since you gave a positive testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ?

He tells us to come into His presence with gladness. Are you al ways conscious that He Himself is with you? Verse three wants us to “Know ye that the Lord He is God.” This is a settled assurance. I t is not some thing we have to guess at or wish for. There is no need for doubt. The Bible says that “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” What a happy affirmation is the fact that “He hath made us.” This suggests His ownership by redemp tion as well as by original creation. Knowing all of this should be ample cause for us to “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving.” We can come in boldly and with gratitude. Is this the way it happens in our lives? The consummation is that “the Lord is good.” That means in the absolute sense, not like man’s promise—only in the relative. All His gifts, His plans, His wisdom for me are good. We are told that “His truth en- dureth to all generations.” As we think of His everlasting mercy, we realize this bountiful supply will never run dry. Any time you have trouble or face problems, the Lord is there to apply the remedy which
