If Thou But Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 191 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee and hope in him through all thy ways, he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, and 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 his leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure and all-discerning love hath sent; nor doubt our inmost wants are known to him who chose us for his own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving, so do thine own part faithfully, and trust his Word; though undeserving. Thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never yet forsook at need the soul that trusted him indeed. Topics: Pilgrimage and Conflict Used With Tune: NEUMARK Text Sources: Wer nur den lieben Gott

I Stood Outside the Gate

Author: Josephine Pollard Meter: 6.6.6.6 D 6.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:13 Lyrics: 1 I stood outside the gate, A poor way-faring child; Within my heart there beat A tempest loud and wild; A fear oppressed my soul, That I might be too late; And, oh, I trembled sore, And prayed outside the gate. 2 “O Mercy!” loud I cried, “Now give me rest from sin!” “I will,” a voice replied, And Mercy let me in: She bound my bleeding wounds, And soothed my heart oppressed, She washed away my guilt, And gave me peace and rest. 3 In Mercy’s guise I knew The Savior long abused, Who often sought my heart, And wept when I refused; Oh, what a blest return For all my years of sin! I stood outside the gate, And Jesus let me in.
