18. So will not we go back from thee. Under
the leadership of one whom God had chosen the nation would be kept faithful,
grace would work gratitude, and so cement them to their allegiance. It is in
Christ that we abide faithful: because he lives we live also. There is no hope
of our perseverance apart from him. Quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. If the Lord gives life out of death, his praise is sure to follow.
The Lord Jesus is such a leader that in him is life, and the life is the light
of men. When he visits our souls anew we shall be revivified, and our praise
will ascend to the name of the Triune God.
