Contentment
Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind,
As tempest vex the sea;
But calm content and peace we find,
When, Lord, we turn to thee.
2 In vain by reason and by rule,
We try to bend the will;
For none but in the Saviour's school
Can learn the heavn'ly skill.
3 Since at his feet my soul has sat,
His gracious words to hear,
contented with my present state,
I cast on him my care.
4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot,
And will do all things well;
Soon shall I leave this wretched spot,
And rise with him to dwell.
5 In life his grace shall strength supply,
Proportion'd to my day;
In death I still shall find him nigh,
To bear my soul away.
6 Thus I, who once my wretched days
In vain repinings spent;
Taught in my Saviour's school of grace,
Have learn'd to be content.
Scripture: Philippians 4:11
Contentment
In heavenly love abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 595 hymnals Topics: Contentment Used With Tune: WARING
In heavenly love abiding
Who will but let himself be guided
Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Who will but let himself be guided
Of God alone, in all his ways,
Shall strength receive, be well provided,
And safely led through evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 No anxious cares or bitter wailing
Can help afford, or give relief;
Within ourselves there's naught availing
To give us comfort in our grief;
Our burdens, trials, sorrow, pain,
Do but increase as we complain.
3 Wait on the Lord, my heart, in meekness
And cheerful hope; be thou content
To get whate'er thy Father's kindness
And all-discerning love hath sent;
Doubt not that all thy wants are known
To Him who chose thee for His own.
4 He knows when joyful hours are needed,
And sends them as He sees it meet;
When He through trials has succeeded
To make us free from all deceit,
Then cometh He all unaware
And makes us own His loving care.
5 Think not, when in the stress of trial,
That God hath cast thee off unheard,
That he whose hopes meet no denial
Must surely be of God preferred;
God never will forsake in need
The heart that trusts in Him indeed. Used With Tune: WHO WILL BUT LET HIMSELF BE GUIDED

The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know
Well-Doing and Well-Being
Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: A little that the righteous hold Lyrics: 1 A little that the righteous hold
Is better far than wealth untold
Of many wicked men;
Destroyed shall be their arm of pride,
But they who in the Lord confide
Shall be upholden then.
2 He knows the days the perfect live,
To them a heritage will give
Which ever shall abide;
In evil times no shame they know,
And in the days of famine's woe
They shall be satisfied.
3 Although the wicked prospered seem,
At last they vanish like a dream
And perish in a day;
Jehovah's foes shall soon appear
Like fields once fair, now brown and sere;
Like smoke they fade away.
4 They borrow oft and pay not back,
But righteous men do nothing lack,
And give with gracious hand;
Those cursed by Him shall be destroyed,
But such as have His grace enjoyed,
They shall possess the land. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: GANGES
Well-Doing and Well-Being
God Our Only Good
Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: O God, how good Thou art Lyrics: 1 O God, how good Thou art
To all the pure of heart,
Tho' life seems vain;
Burdened with anxious care,
I groped in dark despair,
Till in Thy house of prayer
All was made plain.
2 Ever, O Lord, with Thee,
All shall be well with me,
Held by Thy hand;
And Thou wilt guide my feet
By Thy own counsel sweet,
Till I, for glory meet,
In glory stand.
3 In earth or heav'n above
Who is there that I love
Compared with Thee?
My heart may faint with fears,
But God my strength appears,
And will to endless years
My portion be.
4 O it is good that I
May still to God draw nigh,
As oft before;
The Lord Jehovah blest,
My refuge and my rest,
Shall be in praise confessed
For evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: OLIVET
God Our Only Good
Matthew 6:25-34
Author: William Cowper Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Sometimes a light surprises Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new:
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing,
But he will bring us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing,
Will clothe his people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens,
Will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither,
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks, nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice,
For while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Used With Tune: CASKEY
Matthew 6:25-34
Psalm 131
Author: John Newton Appears in 250 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: Quiet, Lord, my froward heart Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art,
Make me as a weaned child:
From distrust and envy free,
Pleased with all that pleased thee.
2 What thou shalt to-day provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What to-morrow may betide,
Calmly to thy wisdom leave:
'Tis enough that thou wilt care;
Why should I the burden bear?
3 As a little child relies
On a care beyond his own,
Knows he's neither strong nor wise,
Fears to stir a step alone;--
Let me thus with thee abide,
As my Father, Guard, and Guide. Scripture: Psalm 131:1 Used With Tune: GUIDE
Psalm 131
