Matthew 6:25-34

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #346 (1890) Topics: Cares; Cares First Line: Sometimes a light surprises 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 It can bring with it nothing, But he will bring us 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.

Faith

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #415 (1888) Topics: Cares First Line: Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith! Lyrics: 1 Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith! My God! how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me? 2 How many hearts thou mightst have had More innocent than mine! How many souls more worthy far Of that sweet touch of thine! 3 Ah, grace! into unlikeliest hearts It is thy boast to come, The glory of thy light to find In darkest spots a home. 4 The crowd of cares, the weightiest cross, Seem trifles less than light-- Earth looks so little and so low When faith shines full and bright. 5 Oh, happy, happy that I am! If thou canst be, O Faith, The treasure that thou art in life, What wilt thou be in death! Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10 Languages: English Tune Title: VALENTIA

Assurance

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #440 (1888) Topics: Cares First Line: When I can read my title clear Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And fiery darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage. And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all!-- 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. Scripture: Isaiah 32:17 Languages: English Tune Title: BROWN

Resting in God

Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Hymnal: Laudes Domini #462 (1888) Topics: Cares First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand: Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace thy inmost soul shall fill-- Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken-- Always hath he comfort spoken-- Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then--when or how-- Only bow.

To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace

Author: Richard Sturch (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #570 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Sharing and Caring Lyrics: 1 To you, O Christ, the Prince of Peace, the source of love and pity, we bring in prayer and penitence the countryside and city; the poverty that troubles both, the vanity that fools us, the walls that keep our lives apart, the ignorance that rules us. 2 As once you walked in Galilee, and learned its paths and valleys, or met within Jerusalem the crowds from streets and alleys; so help us learn our age's needs and meet those needs with caring, your world and people see in all, your love and gospel sharing. 3 Lord, let us never pass our days indifferent to others; or build up walls that hide from sight our sisters and our brothers; through windows barred and shuttered tight how can your sunshine reach us? O make us open to your truth, your love and service teach us! 4 May all the darkness we have made and sins that have controlled us fade in the glory of your light, and your strong love enfold us. Bring us to new Jerusalem, your Bride from heaven descending, the City of the Father's peace and joy that has no ending.
