If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Worship in Song #251 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: God's Care Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee, And place thy confidence within, God will give strength, whatever betide thee, To give thee hope and strength within. For those who trust God's changeless love Build on the rock that will not move. 2 What gain is there in futile weeping, In helpless anger and distress? If thou art in God's care and keeping In sorrow will God love thee less? For God who took for thee a cross Will bring thee safe through every loss. 3 Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving; So do thine own part faithfully, And trust God's word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never will forsake at need The soul that trusts in God indeed. Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

God Is Unique And One

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #277 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: God Care Lyrics: 1 God is unique and one: Maker, Sustainer, Lord! Patterns of life were spun by that creative word. Of God's intention, love and care we are with growing trust aware. 2 Love came to earth in Christ, our common life to share, choosing to be the least, willing a cross to bear. He died, he rose, that we might live and all our love, responding, give. 3 The Holy Spirit moves people to trace God's plan; such inspiration proves more than the mind can span. Each listening heart is led to find the will of God for humankind. 4 God shall forever reign, ruler of time and space; there, in the midst of life, seen in the human face. We give expression to our creed by love in thought, in word and deed. Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
