If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:1 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee, with hopeful heart through all thy ways, God will give strength, whate'er betide thee, to bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the rock that nought can move. 2 Only be still, and wait God's leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Keeper's pleasure and all-discerning love hath sent. No doubt our inmost wants are clear to One who holds us always dear. 3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from God's ways, but do thine own part faithfully. Trust the rich promises of grace; so shall they be fulfilled in thee. God never yet forsook at need the soul secured by trust indeed.

Indulgent God! to Thee I raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:4 Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God! to Thee I raise My spirit fraught with joy and praise: Grateful I bow before thy throne, My debt of mercy there to own. 2 Rivers descending, Lord! from Thee Perpetual glide to solace me: Their varied virtues to rehearse, Demands an everlasting verse. 3 And yet there is, beyond the rest, One stream--the widest and the best-- Salvation! Lo, the purple flood Rolls rich with my Redeemer's blood. 4 I taste--delight succeeds to wo; I bathe--no waters cleanse me so: Such joy and purity to share, I would remain enraptur'd there. 5 Till death shall give this soul to know The fulness sought in vain below;-- The fulness of that boundless sea Whence flow'd the river down to me. 6 My soul--with such a scene in view-- Bids mortals joys a glad adieu; Nor dreads a few chastising woes Sent with such love--so soon to close.
