Was Gott Tut, Das Ist Wohlgetan

Author: Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, So denken Gottes Kinder. Er sieht sie oft gar strenge an Und lieb sie doch nicht minder; Er zieht ihr Herz nur himmelwärts, Wenn er sie lässt auf Erden Ein Ziel der Plagen werden. 2 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan. Gibt er, so kann man nehmen; Nimmt er, wir sind nicht übler dran, Wenn wir uns nur bequemen. Die Linke schmerzt, die Rechte herzt, Und beide Hände müssen Wir doch in Demut küssen. 3 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Er weist uns oft den Segen, Und eh er noch gedeihen kann, Muss sich die Hoffnung legen. Weil er allein der Schatz will sein, So macht er andre Güter Durch den Verlust uns bitter. Used With Tune: GASTORIUS

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1,873 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand; Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer, Be Thou still my strength and shield, Be Thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee.

Look to Jesus Christ Thy Saviour

Author: Frans Mikael Franzén Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look to Jesus Christ thy Saviour, Thou who art God's child and friend; Let thy heart forget Him never, Still thy gaze on Jesus bend. In thy rest and in thy labor Look to Him with ev'ry breath, Look to Jesus' life and death. 2 Look to Jesus, till reviving Faith and love thy bosom swell; Strength for all things good deriving From Him who did all things well; Work as He did, in thy season, Works which shall not fade away, Work while it is called To-day. 3 Look to Jesus, praying, waking, When thy feet on roses tread; Follow, worldly pomp forsaking, With thy cross where He hath led. Look to Jesus in temptation; Baffled shall the tempter flee, And God's angels come to thee. 4 Look to Jesus, when dark lowering Perils thy horizon dim; Unlike His disciples cowering, Calm 'mid tempests look on Him. Trust in Him who still rebuketh Wind and billow, fire and flood; Forward! then, and trust in God. 5 Look to Jesus when distressèd, See what He, the Sinless, bore; Is thy heart with conflict pressèd? Is thy soul still harassed sore? See His bloody sweat, His conflict, Watch His agony increase, Hear His prayer, and taste His peace! 6 Art thou by sore want surrounded? Do thy pains press forth thy sighs? Art thou wronged and deeply wounded? Does a scornful world despise? Friends forsake thee or deny thee? See what Jesus must endure, He who as the light was pure! 7 Look to Jesus still to shield thee, When this dwelling thou must leave; In that last need He will yield thee Peace the world can never give. Look to Him, thy head low bending; He, who finished all for thee, Takes thee then with Him to be. Amen.

We Wait For Thee, O Glorious One

Author: Philipp F. Hiller; James D. Burns Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Son of God, we wait for Thee Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, we wait for Thee, We look for Thine appearing; We bear Thy name, and on the throne, We see Thy presence cheering. Faith even now uplifts its brow, And sees the Lord descending, And with Him bliss unending. 2 We wait for Thee, through days forlorn, In patient self-denial; We know that Thou our grief hast borne Upon Thy cross of trial. And well may we submit with Thee To bear the cross and love it, Until Thy hand remove it. 3 We wait for Thee; already Thou Hast all our heart’s submission; And though the spirit sees Thee now, We long for open vision; When ours shall be sweet rest with Thee, And pure unfading pleasure, And life in endless measure. 4 We wait for Thee in certain hope— The time will soon be over; With childlike longing we look up, The glory to discover. O, bliss! to share Thy triumph there, When home with joy and singing, The Lord His saints is bringing! Used With Tune: NAGPUR Text Sources: Tr.: Family Treasury, 1859

Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right

Author: Samuel Rodigast; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Whate’er my God ordains is right: His holy 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: Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2. Whate’er my God ordains is right: He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path: I know He will not leave me. I 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 poison can be in the cup That my physician sends me. My God is true; each morn anew I’ll trust His grace unending, My life to Him commending. 4. Whate’er my God ordains is right: He is my friend and Father; He suffers naught to do me harm, Though many storms may gather, Now I may know both joy and woe, Some day I shall see clearly That He hath loved me dearly. 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. My God is true; each morn anew 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, need, 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. Used With Tune: GASTORIUS
