[0:00] Psalm 103 Part of verse 4 Part of verse 4 In Psalm 103 O crown of thee With love and calmness And tender mercies When a woman of Samaria And a precious Christ Met at the well [1:01] He revealed to her One of the greatest masses She could ever receive It mattered not If the Jews Had not anything to do With the Samaritans He's now respecter of persons And this precious Christ Of whom you've been singing He gave her what no other one Could make such a gift And that was not the waters In the well That she came to draw [2:02] To fill the vessels with now The water that he gave her Was a well of water Bringing forth Into everlasting life So she left Jesus After she had proclaimed Come see a man That has told me all That ever I did A very rich woman And a very safe woman Satan could never claim her Though she was like The woman in our chapter She had nothing to plead Except it be [3:03] By Jesus Christ So she had something Given to her Never dying soul By a gracious experience Of it And that belonged to her It brings to my mind What is written In the Proverbs In chapter 5 Verses 15 To 70 Drink waters Out of thine own system And run in waters Out of thine own well Let thy fountains Be dispersed Abroad And rivers of waters In the streets Let them be only thine own And not strangers with thee [4:04] While casting My eyes over those three verses Brought thee In thought unto the woman What you receive From heaven By the spirit In thy soul That hath been made alive Is living It's not dead Never will be What Why? [4:43] Because It springs From his mercy Where does mercy To one Can be Does it come From the jury Of the twelve No They couldn't Pardon The one It springs From the judge And if he Spent And said What the judgment Would be Mercy None could Bring anything Against them May it say You're free And who can Show the mercy Of our text The judge [5:44] No one Has No one Who I know That judge Is a savior Bless his Early name I know That he's A redeemer I know That he Has delivered Forever By his Whole mighty Work And love Those that the Father Have given Him And what A mercy He saved Them From Condemnation So That they Must Fill That first Condemned As a sinner To Jesus I call One That he's Met with You They [6:45] Return And my For Mine And I Go Back And ask Oh If one And another Could just Trace Where you Had a Beginning In your Poor Soul That you Were determined To go Another way An Opposite Way To possess The world And have All its Joys Or Not Know That they Would All Pass Away And there Was a Begin There Was a Meeting And The one That met With you Was the Judge And therefore He knew Every Secret Of your Sin And he Outened That up First And he Kept Nothing Back Oh [7:50] You Never Thought There Was one That knew All about You And when He Come He left You And now Ground To stand Upon That the Mercy Was Well He Is Your Judge And make No Mistake He Showed you Mercy You Must Know The one Before The other It's not Merely a Phrase Now The work Of Jesus Survived The spirit In the Sorrow It's not Yea And nay Nothing Of that Nothing Uncertain It's a Certain Work Sound Of the Feblest Lamb In Jesus [8:50] Fold Now There Was a Beguine A Commencing As I've Told you Sometime One Has said Before A Storn Deacon Deacon Didn't Know All You Know Hardness Don't Bring Love To A Child Of Good They Was Ready To Put Her Aside Oh He Said Can't You Tell us Something Yes He Said I Can Tell you Something And So Can You If You Have Something Worked In Your Heart By The Same Christ And They Said The Things That I Once Loved I Now Hate And What I Once Did Hate I Now Loved [9:50] Broke Him Down He Said Come In There's Now Only One Judge And My Friends There's Only One Sentence And There's Only One That Can Deliver Unto The Very Uttermost All That Come Unto Him And Therefore It Is One Of His Greatest Favors When He Stays In The White East The Broad Way Led To Destruction And Many That Be That Go In There But The Narrow One So Very Narrow Gate Pure There Be The Fund And That Is Because As He Spoke In That Chapter I Read They Were Still In The Seeds That They Wanted To Stone In Soon [10:51] At They And They Thought It Nothing When The Vengeance Of Their Wicked Heart Under The Power Of Satan That They Crucified Him And That's Where All Your Marcious Classes Blow From Dear Friends Who Been Brought To Believe In His Mercy That Awful Sight Of His Body From Head To Feet Flowing With Such Sacred Blood Was The Source Of All Mercy For You If You One Of Those That Have Tasted Of It For The Blood Of Jesus Christ God Dear Son Of Cleansing From All Sin One That [11:51] Felt That Sight To Be Exceedingly Great Go Go Another Way When In Your Soul There Was No Knowledge That You Had Yourself All All You Had Was That Of The World And He Come And He Marked Way Sometimes He Marks The Beginning Of A Dear Child Of God And [12:52] It Is So Clear And So Evident In The Weakest Of His Children Yet They're All Strong In Christ They Can't Doubt What It Took Place They Cannot Say I Was I Was Dead And Now I See If It Had Never Taken Place I Was Blown Oh It Is Well When His Mercy Comes And It Is To The Guilty You Ere Could We But Tread On That Sacred Ground Whereas The Law Of Our Land And The Law Of Any Good Law Of Any Land And The Law Of God As We Spoke [13:52] Of This Morning Oh What An Hard Lord Isn't It To Spirit To I For An I Sentenced To Following The Prisoner There Bound At Bath Now My Prince We Never See More Clearly What They Loved God Well In The Day Of A Dead Redeemer Before He Sealed Redemption And There Were Many Tisters To Do His Love Before That Sealing Which He Sailed In The Rock By His All Mighty Power That They Were Brought To Believe Not Only That He Was The Son Of God If [14:53] If That Woman Had Every Stone A Thug Given By The Law She Been Died Dead And That Was Quite In With The Law Yes No One Could Say It Was Not Lawful Under The Law Of Moses But Moses Law Was Fulfilled Now As One Blessing With Moses This Miss He Knew The Other Side When He Said Thy Saints Are In Thy Hand And They Shall Sit At Thy Feet And They Shall Hear My Words And All My Friends That Was Given At Simeon [15:53] But The Grace That Flowed Through The Covenant God Flowed Into His Heart And Once He Added To A Particular Way When He Heard The Voice Say Unto Him My Presence Shall Go With The And I Will Give The Rest And Then He Beheld The Crown The Crown Of Our Text And A Wonderful Crown It Is My Friends One That The Lord Crowns You With As Many Precious Stones In As Forgiveness Is No Condemnation In There's Righteousness There's That Which Brings In [16:53] An Ever Last In Righteousness And That Is The Shedding Of His Blood Oh Child Of God You're Rich Beyond All Intents And Purposes Of Man Because That Your Guilt And Your Sin Were Underneath That Land Never To Rise Against You He Bore That He Was Never A Sinner And Yet He Bore All The Shames Of His People In Their Guilt And In The Chapter I Read To You He Said The Father Had Not Left Him But When It Came To Gethsemane He [17:54] Was Left For One Hour Where No Eye Could See Him What For To Give You Mercy It's What For The Sword Did Wait Against The Shepherd The Only One The Son That Saved Your Sons The One That Pardoned Your Sins The One That Give You Hope In The Valley Of Acre Where There Was No Hope To Those That Perished There Think Of It That Mercy Given You If Thou Has Made A Profession In His Name You Tised To That Mercy Yes [18:55] You Have I Know I Would It Were With Me As In The Days Of The Beginning When The Candle Of The Lord Shone About Me When I Received And Many Of His Children Did Consolations When They Were They Were They Lifted Them Up In The Hand Of His Covenant Love And He Gave Them Sweet And Precious Promises And Then They Could Say Bless The Lord Bless The Lord I Wish We Could Bless Him More When He Takes You Aside And Shows You His Mercy And Supplying Preserving And Making A Way Where There Is Now Way [19:55] Giving You To Know That He Is Your God And Your Savior And Your Redeemer You Could Say Bless The Lord It Wouldn't Be Of Just A Lip Service A Lip Service It Would Be Your Heart All That Within May Bless Him Have You Ever Blessed Him Answer Before God Have You Ever Blessed Him Have You Ever Said My Cup Runneth Over Have You Ever Had A Pure That Is Thy Shepherd And That You Shall Not One You Let You Buy In The [20:56] Green Pastures And Beside The Still Waters Spread Your Table In The Middle Of Your Enemies And As Your Cup Ran Over With His Goodness That Was Given You You Are Not To Give That To Another What Your Blessings Or Other Children's Are You Are Not To Give To Another You Can Speak To Of To The Goodness Of God And I Often Thought I Would That I Could Speak More To The Glory And Honor Of God For He Has Been A Good God To Me He's Been A Good God To Me And I'm Quite Sure That This If It Was Not For His Mercy We Should Not Be Here Tonight Oh His Mercy Is The Sweetest Drops Of His Loving Carmel Because [21:57] The Very Tender Very Tender Oh He Said They Are Not A Forget Them Well Let Us Go Back To The Ground Where The Woman Stood Where They Each Had A Stone No Not Small Ones And In Every Stone There Was Death And They Came With A Determination To Leave A Dead Woman Are You That Jesus Was There Jesus Was There He Was Not To Die He Wrote On The Ground [22:57] Never Say What It Was He Wrote Twice And He Stoked To Do It He Could Have Saved Her Without Stooping What He Wrote As Though He Had Taken Now Notice He Has Taken In All That Woman's Case Job Of God He Has Taken All Your Case Though You Might Never Think It Yes Sometimes In The Past You Have Wondered What The Future Would Be Well He Won't Have You Judge Him By Your Poor Judgment When [23:58] He Did Rise Himself In His Love And Pity That No Man Contained Them He Sent Them All Out You Know When You Have Now Sin You Can Condemn Another Again And Their Woman Was Left To Condemn A Godly Minister Someone Said To Her Well When You Have Now Sin We Take Notice Of What You Say When You Have Now Fought When There's Nothing Going On In Thy Poor Nature That Is [24:59] Rebellious To A Gracious God After You Have Received His Benefits What Can You Say To Another Nothing I Tell You What You Could Do And What Is All Of His Mercy You Can Bear Them In A Picture And That To The Lord To Undertake For Praying For One Another Oh Yes There's More In Prayer Than You Can Measure My Friends And As You Prayed There Might Be No Rain And He Prayed That There Might Be Rain And They Were Answered And God Puts A Prayer In Your Heart He Will Answer It He Stood There He Says Where Is There Not One Left To Accuse You And I [25:59] Know One That Can Accuse Us Very Much And Be Right To And He Says Who Is That The Devil Oh He Will Lead You On In Such A Path And Then Come And Say I Am Surprised You Professing To Be A Child Of God In As You Are That Is Only An Accuser Of The Brethren You Know Bless His Rest The Name And The Work Of A Precious Christ All His Accusations For Paul To The Ground Why Because My Friends This Is Mercy Is Benefits Does Satan Tempt You To [26:59] Give Up Now More In Jesus Name To Trust You Won't Be Allowed You Won't Be Allowed When He Has Given You Mercy That Means You Belong To Him And He You And Their Precious Christ Are One I You Say When He Took Me In The Arms Of His Mercy And Love I Felt Everything Would Be Well I You Knew Very Little Of It Very Little Of It The Time Came When You Had To Pass [27:59] Through The Waters And Through The Fires Of A Sovereign God Who Who Can Bear The Solid Of God He'll Give You His Mercy To Bear It Is A Perfect Right To do With Your Body As Well As Your Soul Yes A Perfect Right I Knew A Poor Afflicted Savvy To God That Carried This Affliction For Years And It Was A Very Sorrow One And He Says He Done It All Well He's Done What I Feel Has Been Best Why Because His Mass Is His [29:00] Mass Is Mixed With It And If Thou At One Of These And Been Treading In The Path Many Years You Had To Prove That He's Made In Your Bitters In Your Cross Providences In Taking Away Your Contents What You Did Lean On That He Give You More Than He Took Away If He Gives You Himself And The Word Of His Grace Yes You Are Not To Forget All His Benefits Now My Breath And Oh Forgiveth All Thine Iniquities Forgiveness Don't You Think That Woman Was Happy Neither Do I Condem [30:00] It Go In Peace I Don't Condem It I Don't Sin No More I Don't Believe For One Moment That Woman Ever Committed An Adulterous Act At That That's Grace That's Grace Why Because The Fire Had Burnt Her Each Of You Had To Be Taught His Wisdom And His Grace By Very Painful Means And Yet When The Lord Gave Her Forgiveness For Our Sin She Was Forgiven For Eternity Happy Woman Blessed Woman And If You Receive A [31:00] Benefit You For What The One Becker You Know As I Said This Morning The Girl On The Down Now Clothed Nothing Worth Having To Bring To It Nothing At All That He Brings For My Friends The Rope And The Shoes Yes And Before Ever He Done That When He Say That One The Far Old In That Beautiful Parable He Was His Son He Had Been Lost And Foul He Died And Now Lied Again He And He Went Out To Meet Him Fell On His Neck And Kissed Him That Was Mercy And That That's What Mercy Does With All His [32:01] Dead Children He Gives Them A Kiss A Token On Evidence Of Islam Makes Some Crooked Things Straight Here's Your Poor Prayers And You Are Bound To Say He Done Better Than You Could Do He Magnifies Himself In Your Heart And In Your Esteem And There Is Your God Today Whatever Lies Before You Child What Bring You That Far And Leave You At Last In Trouble To Sink Leave You Without A Heaven Of Rest Leave You Where Without And Joy That Peace That Passeth All Understanding No Never [33:01] Do That Why He's Redeemed Your Life Some Of God's People Since They Are Called By Grace And Be Pour To Their Very Narrow Escapes Of Their Life Only A Moment They Do They Never Perished Why He Preserved The Feet Of His Sins He Does My Friends And He Gives Them That Blessing He Redems Their Life They Will Never Be Destroyed Never Be Destroyed What's More Happier More Confirming Than To See The Passing Away [34:02] Of The Dear Dry Child From Dime To Dime To Dime When Christ Has Been Their All For Few Moments Before They Shuck Their Eyes Forever He Redeemed You Paid A Price You Could Never Pay You're A Great Debtor To Your God And You'll Never Be Without Being In Debt To Him But He'll Never Be A Debtor To You Never In All Thy Ways Acknowledge Him And He Will Direct Your First And Because He Stand This Your Show He Always Acts And [35:03] His Wonderful Leading I Believe If All Could Write To Have Been Many Years In Away Like Warburton And That's The Base You Know The School Master First Took It In And When The School Master Finished There's Gl ISBN Peter Little Aftericides Is Benefits there's a peculiar line in every child of God and there's not two alike and yet that line will shine because it's his mercy it's his mercy and he's going to place all the tokens of his mercy together no greater than to know it no greater [36:32] I wondered when how I should bring my children of Marwan and in those dark days when the cloud our ma'am from it and affliction too how far we should add the gold what in those days was called the worker may never win neither her nor my ever win have seen those children grown up gone into life God giving them great wisdom to carry on in their line and those that have had children and seen them grow up in years and become acquainted to them and each one had a lot given by God if he never give them his grace why say you because he shows his benefits when you feel you've got nothing have I had to bless God for it have I had to bless God for it if you've got a good child and good children you would go home tonight because he's crowned you with his goodness and his mercy and he says it's with love and kindness that's very nice it's a kindness that flows from the greatest love that could ever be shown and the masses are so very tender well a crap well [39:05] Hannah in her trial and after her son was given to her there's worse I'm thinking that she went the mouse cast down woman to the temple the reproaches were so deep that they took all her life out of her and only her lips know so that there was not my chattering of speech and she was misjudged by one minister breathe they never met her there was something provided for every child of good that was a mercy Satan that's where she went she was under the wings and shadow of the almighty there have been many of one have taken some hard things there her husband's love was nothing compared to her trial he couldn't come to death but the Lord did he raised that the poor out of the dust and the beggar from the downhill to set them among princes and that they should occupy thrones and glory thrones you can't have a throne without a crown my now if you could place together all the goodness of God to you and if thou art one of these who have those places what a wonderful crown it would be and it places it on your head what gave you a crown of his masses a crown of thorns he wore let us remember father forgive them for they know not what they do and the crown of thorns was on a sacred deed to give you a crown of mercy and in that mercy to have a crown of glory that's one one blessing that seems least with some of us is to see his mercy better where he places some have sang in the prison house some have sang in the depths of the dungeons where the wicked of Christ some have sang in their workroom some in the field some in the night because he gives songs in the night and what did they sing about redeeming love redeeming love and that's real my friend you crowned with this love and kindness and tender mercy and all the rest is going to satisfy you with good things you have to ask yes poor old [43:26] John had to preach all and he wanted one guinea to make up the rate and that had to be paid money and more this was Sunday the Lord so helped him in the pulpit he said it kept flowing in he didn't have to think of it kept flowing in and a lady in a home put her guinea in his hand and he said I'm worth like a child why well his wife had said if you go on preaching much longer you'll bring us all to poverty what did he get for his future one deacon said to him we're very poor and we can only give you portion so he had not much to pay this lady gave him just the money and the secret was between his [45:00] God and himself and he could go home to the poor wife bowed down with him but have him a touch of unbelief and said here's a guinea oh I love that drag I love that you know you see God's children have got some good things given them you're often ready to speak of the bad things don't do it don't do it I have best to be quiet when you feel that way as many worse off than you are yes if thou art one of his children what he gives he will give you grace to take so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle and you are now his ways and his merciful and you know my prince he has not always tried you you don't always think those odd times some of a span you or there's many odd times you bet but you haven't told another you thought wonder what this is for that now that he is crowning you with a beautiful crown and that with his mercy because his mercy enduring forever and if there's one crown that you'll cast at his feet in glory it'll be that one me for if he'd never shown your mercy you'd have been consumed and before [47:15] I sit down there is one portion here which is very tender he know it how afraid is the forefront that gets tossed about and he remembers that we are only deaths and so he raises you out of the dust sometimes opens the way for you and he's prepared our throne in heaven they'll be all thrones are they and all wear crown not fanciful and all joy in the everlasting song and crown him [48:20] Lord the world why because he's been your savior he stood by many of his children when they had not a friend on earth to stand bound you say you'll never ever have any gift there don't they many of the Lord's children had no other friend no one to understand no one to see the bitter tears no one to have the heavy heart as they possessed but their God in you your faith and they remember that your death amen
