and who daily guides and rules me,
will remain my help divine.

hope my heart anew will quicken,
all my longing shall be stilled.
To God's lovingkindness tender
soul and body I surrender,
for on him alone I build.

all the longing hopes that haunt me,
joy and sorrow, have their day.
I shall doubt your wisdom never;
as God wills, so be it ever;
I commit to him my way.

God my weary steps will strengthen;
all my trust in him I place.
Things of earth are not abiding,
like a stream away are gliding;
safe I anchor in his grace. Topics: Blessing; Comfort; Grace; Grief; Protection; Providence; The way; Trust in God; Wisdom Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Anon. in Gesang-buch, Nuremberg, 1676

The Church's One Foundation

is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the Word.
From heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth;
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees her oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up: "How long?"
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.

The cornerstone that here we lay;
And fair above it may we see
A house to serve mankind and Thee!
2 In truth be these foundations laid,
Each ordered course in wisdom made,
That firm these rising walls may stand,
Thy witness in a waiting land.
3 So shall Thy people honor yet
The sure foundation Thou hast set,
In prophets and apostles known.
With Jesus Christ the cornerstone.
4 Eternal One, to Thee we raise
This house of service and of praise;
Thy love and glory shall not fade
When all earth's temples low are laid.

for I am your God and will still give you aid;
I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
for I will be with you in trouble to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,
my grace all-sufficient shall be your supply;
the flame shall not hurt you; I only design
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"
