If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #418 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer 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 none can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er Thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 4 He knows the time for joy, and truly Will send it when He sees it meet, When He has tried and purged thee duly, And finds thee free from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee own His loving care. 5 Nor think, amid the heat of trial, That God hath cast thee off unheard; That he whose hopes meet no denial Must surely be of God preferred; Time passes and much change doth bring And sets a bound to everything. 6 All are alike before the Highest; 'Tis easy to our God, we know, To raise thee up, though low thou liest, To make the rich man poor and low: True wonders still by Him are wrought Who setteth up and brings to nought. 7 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.

Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #441 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, now let test Thou Thy servant From this life depart in peace! Praise be Thine, and blessings fervent, For the wearied soul's release. 2 He who saw Thy great salvation, With the eye of faith and love, In this earthly habitation, Walketh now by sight above! 3 Cares and crosses all are over, Sin and sorrow overcome; And the soul, Christ her Lover, Hath at last been taken home. 4 While life's paths we still are pressing, Grant us, Father, steadfast faith, And, for Christ's sake, grant the blessing Of a peaceful, Christian death.

There is an hour of peaceful rest

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #454 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wand’rers given; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for ev'ry wounded breast-- ’Tis found above--in heaven. 2 There is a soft, a downy bed, 'Tis fair as breath of even; A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose--in heaven. 3 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven; When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls, And all is drear-- but heaven. 4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The ev'ning shadows quickly fly, And all serene--in heaven. 5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There, joys divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven.

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Author: Thomas Moore Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #511 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.

Thee, Lord, our God, we praise

Holy art Thou, our God! Holy art Thou, our God! Jehovah Saboath!" 2 Thy glorious power and mighty name Rise over heaven and nature's frame. The holy twelve Apostles all, The Prophets Thou of old didst call, The martyrs goodly company-- Send up their hymns of praise to Thee. All Christendom with one accord Exalt and praise their common Lord-- Thee, Father, on Thy lofty throne, Thy well-beloved, Only Son, The Holy Ghost, the Comforter, They praise and honor evermore. 3 O Christ, to Thee, the glorious King, Eternal Son of God, we sing. To save our race from sin forlorn Thou camest, of chaste virgin born. Thou didst endure death's sharpest pain, And open heaven for us again. As equal there at God's right hand Thou sittest in supreme command. Thou, our exalted risen Head, Wilt be the Judge of quick and dead. 4 Now help us, Lord, Thy servants here, Whom Thou hast saved with blood so dear, Let us have portion with the blest In Thine eternal, glorious rest. Lord Jesus, bless Thine heritage, And shield Thy fold from age to age. Protect and nurse Thine own with care, Then let them endlessly glory share. 5 Daily, our God, we'll sing Thy praise, And bless Thy name throughout our days. Keep us, O Lord, throughout this day From sin and every evil way: Have mercy upon us, O Lord; In all our need Thy grace afford; Thy mercy unto us e'er show, It is our only hope below. Dear Lord! our hopes all rest in Thee, Oh! let us ne'er confounded be. Amen! Languages: English

The Spirit's fruits are peace and love

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a383 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love, And purity from heaven above; Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy, With goodness, new-born lives employ. 2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain, Imparts the grace that will sustain; And grace its work in those who show, Who truly to the Spirit sow. 3 They that are Christ's have crucified Their flesh with all its lusts and pride, And seek in truth what they profess, And walk the paths of holiness. 4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart, Nor let Thy Spirit from us part; O save us from still hidden sin, And form our nature pure within: 5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong, We grow the more as strifes prolong, And of the Spirit reap at last Eternal life, when strife is past.

Go to dark Gethsemane

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a384 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n! he meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Languages: English

The man is ever blessed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a386 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners ways; Amongst their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God Hid study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night; 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf His name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race: They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.
