All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Trinity 15 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. He who trusts with faith unshaken In his God is not forsaken And e'er keeps a dauntless heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many joys hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine. He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will remain my Help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope my heart anew will quicken, All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender; For in Him alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I to Him commit my way. 6 If on earth my days He lengthen, He my weary soul will stengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Nürnberg Gesang-Buch, 1676

In God, My Faithful God

Author: S Weingärtner, 17th century; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Trinity 15 Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; Though many woes o'ertake me; Yet He will not forsake me. His love it is doth send them And, when 'tis best, will end them. 2 My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more. I build on Christ who loves me; From this Rock nothing moves me. To Him I all surrender, To Him, my soul's Defender. 3 If death my portion be, Then death is gain to me And Christ my Life forever, From whom death cannot sever. Come when it may, He'll shield me, To Him I wholly yield me. 4 O Jesus Christ, my Lord, So meek in deed and word, Thou once didst die to save us Because Thou fain wouldst have us Be heirs of heav'nly gladness When ends this life of sadness. 5 "So be it," then I say With all my heart each day. We, too, dear Lord, adore Thee; We sing for joy before Thee. Guide us while here we wander Until we praise Thee yonder. Used With Tune: AUF MEINEN LIEBEN GOTT
