O thou whose mercy guides my way

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #731 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 O thou whose mercy guides my way, Though now it seems severe, Forbid my unbelief to say There is no mercy here! 2 O may I, Lord, desire the pain That comes in kindness down, Far more than sweetest earthly gain, Succeeded by a frown. 3 Then, though thou bend my spirit low, Love only shall I see; The gracious hand that strikes the blow Was wounded once for me. Tune Title: FAIRPORT

Give to the winds thy fears

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #733 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears, Hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, He shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Leave to his sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own his way, How wise, how strong, his hand! 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Tune Title: DAY

If, through unruffled seas

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #736 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 If, through unruffled seas, Calmly toward heaven we sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to thee, We'll own the favoring gale, With grateful hearts, O God, to thee, We'll own the favoring gale. 2 But should the surges rise, And rest delay to come, Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. 3 Soon shall our doubts and fears All yield to thy control; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. 4 Teach us in every state, To make thy will our own, And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone. Tune Title: SELVIN

Be tranquil, O my soul

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #738 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Be tranquil, O my soul, Be quiet every fear! Thy Father hath supreme control, And he is ever near. 2 Ne'er of thy lot complain, Whatever may befall; Sickness or sorrow, care or pain, 'Tis well appointed all. 3 A Father's chastening hand Is leading thee along; Nor distant is the promised land, Where swells the immortal song. 4 O, then, my soul, be still! Await heaven's high decree; Seek but to do thy Father's will, It shall be well with thee. Tune Title: SELVIN

It is thy hand, my God

Author: James G. Deck Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #739 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 It is thy hand, my God; My sorrow comes from thee: I bow beneath thy chastening rod; 'Tis love that bruises me. 2 I would not murmur, Lord; Before thee I am dumb: Lest I should breathe one murmuring word, To thee for help I come. 3 My God, thy name is love; A Father's hand is thine; With tearful eyes I look above, And cry, "Thy will be mine!" Tune Title: SELVIN

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #741 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be! Lead me by thine own hand, And choose the path for me. I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might; Choose thou for me, my God, So shall I walk aright. 2 The kingdom that I seek Is thine; so let the way That leads to it be thine, Else I must surely stray. Take thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to thee may seem; Choose thou my good and ill. 3 Choose thou for me my friends, My sickness, or my health; Choose thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine, the choice, In either great or small; Be thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom, and my All. Tune Title: STEELE

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: Cowper; Cennick Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #742 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 Children of God lack nothing, His promise bears them through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed, And he who feeds the ravens Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

In heavenly love abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #743 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me. Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #744 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; I ask thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts, To keep and cultivate; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life While keeping at thy side; Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 6 And if some things I do not ask Thou givest, Lord, to me, Then shall my spirit rise the more With grateful love to thee; Still careful, not to serve thee less, But more, and perfectly. Tune Title: WARING

Go not far from me, O my Strength

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #745 (1886) Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Go not far from me, O my Strength, Whom all my times obey; Take from me anything thou wilt, But go not thou away; And let the storm that does thy work Deal with me as it may. 2 No suffering, while it lasts, is joy, How blest soe'er it be; Yet may the chastened child be glad His Father's face to see; And O, it is not hard to bear What must be borne in thee! 3 Safe in thy sanctifying grace, Almighty to restore; Borne onward, sin and death behind, And love and life before, O let my soul abound in hope, And praise thee more and more! 4 Deep unto deep may call, but I With peaceful heart will say, "Thy loving-kindness hath a charge No waves can take away;" And let the storm that speeds me home, Deal with me as it may.
