O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage and Guidance Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
true fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling--
to do it when I ought,
with all my strength; and bless
whatever I have wrought,
for you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling:
but when, within my place,
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace,
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
oh, keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless;
help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
and, by your Spirit's might,
to live at peace with all. Scripture: Psalm 141:3 Used With Tune: DARMSTADT
O God, My Faithful God
O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816 - 74 Appears in 649 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
Be thou forever near me,
My master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If thou wilt be my guide.
2 O let me feel thee near me,
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin. A-men.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
To all who follow thee,
That where thou art in glory
There shall thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My master and my friend.
Amen. Used With Tune: SEDGWICK

My Faith, It Is an Oaken Staff
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage First Line: My faith it is an oaken staff Lyrics: 1 My faith, it is an oaken staff,
the traveler’s well-loved aid;
My faith, it is a song of trust,
sustains me undismayed.
I’ll travel on and still be stirred
by silent thought or social word;
By all my perils undeterred,
a pilgrim unafraid.
2 My guide is Jesus Christ whose steps,
when travelers have trod,
Whether beneath was flinty rock
or yielding grassy sod,
They carried on, their joy unspent;
through pain and trial they onward went,
Unstayed by pleasures, still they bent
their zealous course to God.
3 My faith, it is an oaken staff,
O let me on it lean.
My faith provides the ground of hope,
supports a purpose keen.
Your Spirit, God, upon me send,
that I may be what you intend.
With patient courage, we'll contend
as radiant saints serene.

And teach my hands to fight;

And guide my words aright.

My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.

Meek Lamb, that was in thee!
And let my knowing zeal be joined
With perfect charity.

Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.
5 O may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove!
To hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love. Used With Tune: LABAN
