Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design, Are framed upon Thy throne above, And ev'ry dark or bending line Meets in the centre of Thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals Thine arrangements view; Not knowing that the least are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Though now they seem to roam uneyed, Are led or driven only where They best and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way: But while they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favor'd soul shall meekly learn To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my guide alone.

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 How are Thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms and lands remote, Supported by Thy care, They pass unhurt through burning climes, And breathe in tainted air. 3 Though by the dreadful tempest toss'd High on the broken wave, They know Thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to Thy will; The sea, that roars at Thy command, At Thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears and deaths, Thy goodness I'll adore; We praise Thee for Thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more 6 My life, while Thou preserv'st my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And oh! may death, when death shall come, Unite my soul to Thee.

Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears; Be mercy all your theme; Mercy, which like a river flows In one continued stream. 2 Fear not the powers of earth and hell: God will these powers restrain; His mighty arm their rage repel, And make their efforts vain. 3 Fear not the want of outward good: He still for His provides, Grants them supplies of daily food, And gives them heaven beside. 4 Fear not that He will e'er forsake, Or leave His work undone: He's faithful to His promises, And faithful to His Son. 5 Fear not the terrors of the grave, Nor death's tremendous sting: He will from endless wrath preserve, To endless glory bring.

To God I lift mine eyes

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 To God I lift mine eyes, From Him is all mine aid; The God who built the skies, And earth's foundations laid. God is the tower To which I fly: His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide Or fall in fatal snares; Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, His children keep When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, And Thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon.

Shine on our souls, eternal God!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Shine on our souls, eternal God! With rays of beauty shine; Oh, let Thy favor crown our days, And their whole course be Thine. 2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee, Our hands might toil in vain: Small joy success itself could give, If Thou Thy love restrain. 3 'Tis ours the furrows to prepare, And sow the precious grain: 'Tis Thine to give the sun and air, And to command the rain. 4 With Thee let every week begin, With Thee each day be spent, For Thee each fleeting hour improved, Since each by Thee is lent. 5 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road Till all our labors cease; And heaven refresh our weary souls With everlasting peace.

Lord, I would spread my sore distress

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before Thine eyes; Against Thy laws, against Thy grace, How high my crimes arise! 2 I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin. 3 Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With Thy forgiving love; And make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove. 4 Let not Thy spirit e'er depart, Nor drive me from Thy face; Create anew my sinful heart, And fill it with Thy grace.

O Zion, when I think of thee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh; Thither the ransom'd nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return, Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 The hope that such a day will come Makes ev'n the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet.

And let this feeble body fail

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 357 hymnals Topics: Resignation Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.
