Be thou my guardian and my guide

Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide, and hear me when I call; let not my slipp'ery footsteps slide, and hold me lest I fall. 2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell around the path I tread; O save me from the snares of hell, thou quick'ner of the dead. 3 And if I tempted am to sin, and outward things are strong, do thou, O Lord, keep watch within, and save my soul from wrong. 4 Still let me ever watch and pray, and feel that I am frail; that if the tempter cross my way, yet he may not prevail.

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Temptation And Trial First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns; the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark. New praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on; into all lands their voices run. And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise. Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold we ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds; let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O LORD, my refuge and my might. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CREATION

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Lent 1, The King and the Kingdom Temptation Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleas with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; son none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Then in him victorious your armor lay down, to praise, ever glorious, his cross and his crown. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: LYONS

Temptations in Sickness overcome

Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Temptations in sickness; Temptations in sickness First Line: Lord, I can suffer thy rebukes Lyrics: 1 Lord, I can suffer thy rebukes, When thou with kindness dost chastise; But thy fierce wrath I cannot bear, O let it not against me rise! 2 Pity my languishing estate, And ease the sorrows that I feel; The wounds thine heavy hand hath made, O let thy gentler touches heal! 3 See how in sighs I pass my days, And waste in groans the weary night: My bed is water'd with my tears; My grief consumes, and dims my sight. 4 Look how the powers of nature mourn! How long, Almighty God, how long? When shall thine hour of grace return? When shall I make thy grace my song? 5 I feel my flesh so near the grave, My thoughts are tempted to despair; But graves can never praise the Lord, For all is dust and silence there. 6 Depart, ye tempters, from my soul, And all despairing thoughts depart; My God, who hears my humble moan, Will ease my flesh, and cheer my heart. Scripture: Psalm 6
