Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a409 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt deal Thou with me, No other wish I cherish; In life and death I cling to Thee, O Lord, let me not perish! Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part, Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart: Thy will the best is ever. 2 Grant honor, truth, and self-control, And love the Word to ponder; From doctrines false preserve my soul: And grant both here and yonder What will conduce to blessed days; Keep far all wrong and crooked ways From all my life and doings. 3 When I, according to Thy will, Shall leave this vale of sadness, O let Thy grace my bosom fill, That I may go with gladness; My spirit I commend to Thee, O Lord, a blessed end give me Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen. Languages: English

Help, Savior! help in fear and need

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a410 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Help, Savior! help in fear and need, Have mercy, to my prayers give heed!

Commit thy way, confiding

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a411 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Commit thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on them, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises,-- God gives it thee to bear;-- Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day. Languages: English

Seems it in my anguish lone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a412 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.

In God, my faithful God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a413 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope 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, Then death is gain to me, And Christ my Life for ever, From whom death cannot sever; Come when it may, He’ll shield me, To Him I'll wholly yield me. 4 'So be it,' then I say, With all my heart each day; Guide us while here we wander, Till safely landed yonder, We too, dear Lord, adore Thee, And sing for joy before Thee.

My faith securely buildeth

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a414 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My faith securely buildeth On Christ who shed His blood; This, and this only, yieldeth The true eternal good. The life that my soul liveth, Finds nothing on the earth; What Christ, the Savior, giveth Of all our love is worth. 2 No angel, nought that gladdens, No throne nor majesty, No love, nor aught that saddens, No grief nor misery, Nor aught that man discovers, Now be it small or great, From Thee, my heavenly Lover's Embrace can separate. 3 My heart with joy is springing, And sad I cannot be; 'Tis full of joy and singing, The sunshine doth it see. The Sun that looks with pleasure On me is Christ my King; The glory beyond measure That waits me, makes me sing. Languages: English

Oft in sorrow, oft in woe

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a415 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Oft in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go; Bear the toil, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of life. 2 Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not fears your course impede, Great your help, if great your need. 3 Let your drooping hearts be glad; March, in heavenly armor clad; Fight, nor think the battle long, Vict'ry soon shall tune your song. 4 Onward then to battle move, More than conqu'rors ye shall prove; Though begirt with many a foe, Onward, Christians, onward go!

Ah God, my days are dark indeed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a416 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed! The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heaven I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name! They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee! Languages: English

When we cannot see our way

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a417 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way, Let us trust, and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show. 2 Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage be denied; Fearless let us still proceed, Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead. 3 Though it seems the gloom of night, Though we see no ray of light: Since the Lord Himself is there, ‘Tis not meet that we should fear. 4 Night with Him is never night, Where He is, there all is light; When He calls us, why delay? They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Languages: English

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a418 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope 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 none 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 Thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving 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 tried and purged thee duly, And finds thee free from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee 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 everything. 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 soul that trusted Him indeed.
