CROWN JEWELS.
"The Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon His land."—Zech. ix. 16.
"All things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee."—1 Chron. xxix. 14.
"They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels."—Mal. iii. 17.
I leave Thee, Lord, my jewels,
Though they are scattered wide;
Have them in Thy close keeping,
Safe by Thy wounded side.
Though they are scattered wide;
Have them in Thy close keeping,
Safe by Thy wounded side.
