"When The LORD Saw Her, HIS Heart Overflowed With Compassion."

HIS heart is a fountain of mercy, and 

its streams are perpetually flowing!

("Heavenly Aspirations!" John MacDuff, 1818-1895)

"A funeral procession was coming out
as HE approached the village gate.
The young man who had died was
a widow's only son. When the LORD
saw her, HIS heart overflowed with 
compassion. 'Do not weep!' HE said."
Luke 7:12-13

Oh, how was HIS tender heart

touched by the scene HE

witnessed on this occasion!

The sight excited the liveliest

emotions in HIS sinless bosom;

and with a look beaming with pity,

and in the most tender tones,

HE said to her,

"Do not weep!"

In the Person of our adorable Redeemer,

we behold mercy incarnate. This was

the garb in which the whole of HIS other

virtues were arrayed; the soft luster with

which they were all surrounded and adorned.

Such was the character of JESUS

in the days of HIS flesh, and such

is it still. HE with whom we have

to do, whose favor we implore, and

whose blessings we supplicate--

far from being a harsh, unfeeling MASTER--

is a loving SAVIOR and compassionate FRIEND.

HIS heart is a fountain of mercy, and 

its streams are perpetually flowing!
