In God, my faithful God

Author: Sigismund Weingaertner Hymnal: Hymn Book #103 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation 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, Since I can all surrender To Him, my soul’s Defender. 3 If death my portion be, Yet death is gain to me, And Christ my Life for ever, From whom no death can 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 After this life of sadness Heirs of Thy heavenly gladness. 5 Amen, Amen! we say With all our heart for aye; Guide us while here we wander, Till safely landed yonder, Then shall we Lord, e'er praise Thee, And sing for joy before Thee.

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Author: Neumark Hymnal: Hymn Book #104 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation 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 nought 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 our Father's pleasure And all-discerning 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 only tried us throughly, And finds us free from all deceit, Then cometh He all unaware, And makes us 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 every thing. 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 heart that trusted Him indeed. Languages: English

Whate'er my God ordains is right

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Rodigast Hymnal: Hymn Book #106 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Whate’er my God ordains is right, 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 holds me that I shall not fall; Therefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er my God ordains is right, He never will deceive me; He leads me in the proper path, I know He will not leave me, And take content What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate’er my God ordains is right, His loving thought attends me; No poisoned draught the cup can be That my Physician sends me, But healing due; For God is true: On this unfailing truth I build, And all my heart with hope is filled. 4 Whate’er my God ordains is right: My Light, my Life can never Desire my ill; then to His care I give myself for ever, In weal and woe, For well I know, I once shall see as sunlight clear How faithful was my Guardian here. 5 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Though now this cup in drinking May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it all unshrinking; Tears pass away With dawn of day, Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 6 Whate’er my God ordains is right, Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, want, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is 'round me there, He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all.

Commit thou all thy griefs

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: Hymn Book #107 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To His sure truth and tender care, Who heaven and earth commands: Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey, He shall direct thy wandering feet, He shall prepare thy way. 2 Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on His work thy steadfast eye; So shall thy work be done. No profit canst Thou gain By self-consuming care; To Him commend thy cause; His ear Attends the softest prayer. 3 Thy everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows What best for each will prove. And whatsoe'er Thou will'st, Thou dost, O King of kings, What Thy unerring wisdom chose, Thy power to being brings. 4 Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve Thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light. When Thou arisest, Lord, What shall Thy work withstand? When all Thy children want Thou giv’st, Who, who shall stay Thy hand! 5 Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time, so shall the night Soon end in joyous day. 6 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone. What though thou rulest not? Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 7 Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command, So shalt thou wondering own, His way How wise, how strong His hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. 8 Thou seest our weakness Lord! Our hearts are known to Thee: O lift Thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee! Let us in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare, And publish with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care. Languages: English

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: W. Cowper Hymnal: Hymn Book #108 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows

Author: Haweis Hymnal: Hymn Book #109 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me! 2 When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, My pardon grant, Thy peace impart, In love, remember me! 3 When trials sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee, O give me strength, Lord, as my day; For good remember me! 4 When worn with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble body see, Grant patience, rest, and kind relief: Hear, and remember me! 5 When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree, By this the prayer of my last breath: Dear Lord, remember me! 6 And when before Thy throne I stand, And lift my soul to Thee, Then, with the saints at Thy right hand, Dear Lord, remember me!

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: Hymn Book #110 (1884) Topics: The Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2 Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 There let my way appear, Steps unto heaven: All that Thou sendest me In mercy givwn; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
