Put all your trust in God
Author: John Wesley (1703-1791); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) Hymnal: CH4 #270 (2005) Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Lyrics: 1 Put all your trust in God,
in duty's path go on;
walk in his strength with faith and hope,
so shall your work be done.
Give to the winds your fears;
hope, and be undismayed;
God hears your sighs and counts your tears,
God shall lift up your head.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms
he gently clears your way;
await his time; so shall this night
soon end in joyful day.
Leave to his sovereign sway
to choose and to command;
then you shall marvel at his way
how wise, how strong his hand!
3 You see our weakness, Lord;
our hearts are known to you:
give strength to every failing hand
and keep our footsteps true.
Let us, in life, in death,
your steadfast truth declare,
confessing, with our final breath,
your love and guardian care. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; Our Response to God in times and seasons; New Year; Pilgrimage; Trust Scripture: Hebrews 12:12 Languages: English Tune Title: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Hymnal: CH4 #354 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH (LEIPZIG)

with grief and shame weighed down!
O Kingly Head, surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown!
How pale art thou with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that face now languish,
which once was bright as morn!
2 O Lord of life and glory,
what bliss till now was thine!
I read the wondrous story;
I joy to call thee mine.
Thy grief and bitter Passion
were all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
3 What language shall I borrow
to praise thee, heavenly Friend,
for this, thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine for ever,
and, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love for thee.
4 Be near me, Lord, when dying;
O show thy cross to me;
and, my last need supplying,
come, Lord, and set me free;
these eyes, new faith receiving,
from thee shall never move;
for they who die believing
die safely through thy love. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnante - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; Death and Bereavement; Devotion Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

A safe stronghold our God is still

a trusty shield and weapon;
he'll keep us clear from all the ill
that hath us now o'ertaken.
The ancient prince of hell
hath risen with purpose fell;
strong mail of craft and power
he weareth in this hour;
on earth is not his fellow.
2 With force of arms we nothing can,
full soon were we down-ridden;
but for us fights the proper Man,
whom God himself hath bidden.
Ask ye who is this same?
Christ Jesus is his name,
the Lord Sabaoth's Son;
he, and no other one,
shall conquer in the battle.
3 And were this world all devils o'er,
and watching to devour us,
we lay it not to heart so sore;
they cannot overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
look grim as e'er he will,
he harms us not a whit;
for why? his doom is writ;
a word shall quickly slay him.
4 God's word, for all their craft and force,
one moment will not linger,
but, spite of hell, shall have its course;
'tis written by his finger.
And, though they take our life,
goods, honour, children, wife,
yet is their profit small;
these things shall vanish all:
the city of God remaineth. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Conflict; God Protection of; Victory Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

and that future years shall see,

he commanded; it was done:

when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Spirit's power conceiving,
bore the Saviour of our race,

4 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.
5 All the heights of heaven, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
6 Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honour, glory and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Jesus Word of God Scripture: Genesis 1:3-27 Languages: English Tune Title: CORDE NATUS (DIVINUM MYSTERIUM)

with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.

thy unction grace bestoweth;
and oh, what wonder and delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!

thy goodness faileth never:

within thy house for ever! Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; God Protection of; Jesus Names and images for; Nurture Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINUS REGIT ME

'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,

and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.

and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.

may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

singing 'Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts, and God alone!'
2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
while your church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3 Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lonely path you trod:
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.
4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid:
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray. Topics: God in Trinity Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ODE TO JOY
God, we praise you. God we bless you.

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want
Hymnal: CH4 #16 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: John L. Bell (b. 1949) Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
ev'n for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill:
for thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Topics: Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Eternal Life; Guidance; Holy Communion; Renewal Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: BROTHER JAMES'S AIR
