Lord, We Do Not Ask The Question

Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. John 8:35

But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou? John 1:38

  1. John 8:35, John 1:38Lord, we do not ask the question,

    John 1:28, John 1:38Where abidest Thou?

    Hebrews 1:3, John 1:18Well we know where Thou art dwelling,

    Hebrews 12:2, John 1:18Well we know it now.

  2. John 1:18, John 14:20Thou abidest in the bosom

    John 1:18, John 15:6Of the Father's love;

    John 15:10, John 6:57In that love for ever living -

    John 17:26, John 10:17Love, all thought above.

  3. John 15:9,10And we know that Thou wouldst have us

    1 John 2:24, John 15:9Ever dwell with Thee,

    John 17:24, John 15:10In that holy, heav'nly circle,

    John 14:3, John 15:10Home of liberty.

  4. Colossians 1:12, John 16:27Lord, we thank Thee, this our portion

    1 Thessalonians 1:10, John 16:26While we wait for Thee:

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 16:27Now to live in love unbounded,

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 5:24And eternally.

  5. John 10:28, Acts 11:23Hold our hearts, O Lord, we pray Thee,

    John 17:24,25, John 15:9By and in Thy love,

    Colossians 3:4, 1 Corinthians 2:9Till we dwell with Thee in glory

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, Revelation 4:1Evermore above.
