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: Contentment: Lilies of the Field 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

Trust and Praise

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: Hallelujah, praise Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. 2 Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on man depend; He shall die, to dust returning, And his purposes shall end. 3 Happy is the man that chooses Israel's God to be his aid; He is blest whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed. 4 'n and earth the Lord created, Seas and all that they contain; He delivers from oppression, Righteousness He will maintain. 5 Food He daily gives the hungry, Sets the mourning pris'ner free, Raises those bowed down with anguish, Makes the sightless eyes to see. 6 Well Jehovah loves the righteous, And the stranger He befriends, Helps the fatherless and widow, Judgment on the wicked sends. 7 Over all God reigns forever, Through all ages He is King; Unto Him, thy God, O Zion, Joyful hallelujahs sing. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: BROCKLESBURY

Now by the Bowels of my God

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Peace and Contention Lyrics: 1 Now by the Bowels of my God, His sharp Distress, his sore Complaints, By his last Groans, his dying Blood, I charge my Soul to love the Saints. 2 Clamour and Wrath and War be gone, Envy and Spite for ever cease, Let bitter Words no more be known Amongst the Saints, the Sons of Peace. 3 The Spirit like a peaceful Dove, Flies from the Realms of Noise and Strife; Why should we vex and grieve his Love, Who seals our Souls to heav'nly Life? 4 Tender and kind be all our Thoughts, Through all our Lives let Mercy run: So God forgives our num'rous Faults, For the dear sake of Christ his Son.

Never let me fear or shrink; Hold me, Father, lest I sink: Lead me on! 7 When the victory is won, And eternal life begun, Up to glory lead me on! Lead me on, lead me on! Used With Tune: LEAD ME ON

A Vindication of God's Ways

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure, He never forsaketh the good and the pure; Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length; They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress, The heav'ns and the earth they assume to possess. 4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; They question God's knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. 5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. 6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled, The end of life's journey I clearly beheld; I saw in what peril ungodly men stand With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem; My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought, Because i was faithless, and foolish my thought. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: MOBILE

Scripture: Psalm 4 Used With Tune: REST

"Faint, yet pursuing"

Author: John N. Darby Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way Lyrics: 1 Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way; The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay; Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? 2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint; The weak, and oppressed--he will hear their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter? our help is in God! 3 And to his green pastures our footsteps he leads; His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds! The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears, And brings back the wanderers all safe from the snares. 4 Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Though storms rage around us, our God is our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our home!
