He Who Has Helped Me Hitherto
Author: P. C. Paulsen; N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 He who has helped me hitherto
Will be my help forever;
His grace to me each morn is new,
His mercy ceases never.
All things are spread before His eyes;
In love He hears His children's cries,
His care on them bestowing.
2 The stormy sea, the darkest wave,
The winter sorely pressing,
The deepest grief, the gloomy grave,
The memories distressing,
Are helpful means in God's employ,
Who turns our weeping into joy
And leads us by His counsel.
3 When resting in God's mighty hands,
Our hearts are filled with gladness,
Then broken are all earthly bands
That cause us grief and sadness,
And opened are the portals wide
To God's own house, where saints abide,
Where flows the fount eternal.
4 Tho' still our clay to earth belong,
On words of God, as pinions,
Our souls shall soar, forever young,
To heaven's fair dominions;
And, safe upon that lofty height,
From earth's distress and sorry plight,
Shall find sweet consolation.
5 What though the world our faith do scorn
And earthly treasure gather,
We know that we are heaven-born
And heirs of God, our Father;
We greet His summons with a smile:
Our clay shall in a little while
Receive the wings of eagles. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WINDING
He Who Has Helped Me Hitherto
Abide With Me, My Savior Blest
Author: H. A. Timm Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
The shades of night will hide me
If to Thy home of peace and rest
Thy Spirit doth not guide me.
Abide with me, Thou Light of life,
Drive from my soul all sin and strife,
All fear of death forever.
2 Abide with my, my Savior blest,
That like a palm I flourish,
Thou art the Vine, and I, at best,
The branch Thy strength doth nourish.
O Vine from Eden's balmy shore,
My peace and strength Thu dost restore;
I cannot live without Thee.
3 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
Through all my earthly danger.
My weary soul can find no rest,
I am on earth a stranger.
Oh, save Thou me from Satan's power,
Be with me till my latest hour
And like a Shepherd lead me.
4 Abide with me, my Savior blest,
When night grows dark and somber;
I know if Thou wilt be my Guest
That I in peace shall slumber.
Be with me in the hour of death,
And tell me at my passing breath:
To heaven I will lead thee. Topics: Following Christ Used With Tune: [Abide with me, my Savior blest]

The Lord Is in His Holy Place
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. The Lord is in His holy place,
Let all the earth be still;
Be still and know that He is God,
And wait to do His will.
We need a sacred watchfulness,
An earnest deep desire for grace,
Our lives with true content to fill.
2. So hear and heed His faithful Word,
And trust His promise long,
For they who seek Him life shall find,
And shall in Him be strong;
We need a perfect faith in Him,
With understanding never dim,
To fill our daily lives with song. Used With Tune: NESTLING
