Christ the Life of all the living

Author: Ernest Christopher Homburg; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living, Christ, the Death of death our foe, Who Thyself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath But to save my soul from death; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah Thou, hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God. Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charge and lonely, that I might be safe and free; Comfortless that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last and bitter cry: Praise Thee evermore on high.

God who madest earth and heaven

Author: Arthur Tozer Russell; Henri Alberti; John Christian Jacobi Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host, Those whose mighty hand sustains Earth and all that she contains: 2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render, Who this night hast guarded me; My omnipotent Defender, Who from ill dost set me free; Free from danger, anguish, woe, Free from the infernal foe. 3 Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away: Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself to-day. In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Grant that I may rise this morning, From the lethargy of sin; So my soul, through Thy adorning, Shall be glorious within; And I at the judgment day Shall not be a cast-away. 5 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To thy erring child afford. No where but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 6 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind. Mighty God! to Thy direction Wholly may I be resigned. Lord, my Shield, my Light divine, O accept, and own me Thine! 7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending, Keep me from the subtle foe; From his craft and might defending, Never let Thy wanderer go, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Whatever God ordains is good!

Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whatever God ordains is good! Holy His will abideth; I will be still whate’er He doth, And follow where He guideth, He is my God; Though dark my road, He knoweth how to shield me, Wherefore to Him I yield me. 2 Whatever God ordains is good! He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path, I know He will not leave me, And take content What He hath sent; His hand that sends my sadness Will turn my tears to gladness. 3 Whatever God ordains is good! His loving thought attends me; No poisoned draught the cup can be That my Physician sends me, But medicine due; For God is true, Of doubt, then, I'll divest me, And on His goodness rest me. 4 Whatever God ordains is good! My Life, my Light can never Intend me harm; then, to His care I give myself forever In weal or woe; For well I know, I once shall see quite clearly, That God did love me dearly. 5 Whatever God ordains is good! Though now this cup in drinking May bitter to my taste appear, I take it all unshrinking; For to my heart God will impart A timely balm of healing, And end each painful feeling. 6 Whatever God ordains is good! Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine; Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there, His arms embrace and shield me; Then to my God I yield me.

May God bestow on us His grace

Meter: 8.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 MAY God bestow on us His grace, With blessings rich provide us, And may the brightness of His face, To life eternal guide us; That we His gracious work may know, And what is His good pleasure, And also to the heathen show Christ's riches without measure, And unto God convert them. 2 Thine over all shall be the praise And thanks of every nation, And all the world with joy shall raise The voice of exultation; For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, Nor suffer sin to flourish; Thy people's pasture is Thy Word Their souls to feed and nourish, In righteous paths to keep them. 3 O let the people praise Thy worth, In all good works increasing; The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth. Thy Word is rich in blessing. May God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit bless us! Let all the world praise Him alone, Let solemn awe possess us. Now let our hearts say, Amen.

Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me By the true and living way, Shield me from each strong temptation That might draw my heart astray; And if e'er my feet should turn, For each error let me mourn. 4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within me perfect. Help me by Thy Word so true, Arm me with that Sword of Thine, And the victory shall be mine. 5 In the faith O make me steadfast; Let not Satan, death or shame Of my confidence deprive me; Lord, my refuge is Thy Name. When the flesh inclines to ill, Be Thy Word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour approaches, Let my hopes grow yet more bright. (Since am an heir of heaven,) In Thy glorious courts of light, Fairer far than voice can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.
