Doubts Overcome by Faith

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Forsaken by God First Line: To God for help will I repair Lyrics: 1 To God for help will I repair, To God will I direct my prayer, And surely He will answer me, His great salvation I shall see. 2 In long-continued grief I stand And seek the Lord with outstretched hand; I find no comfort for my soul the clouds of darkness o'er me roll. 3 I think of God and call to mind His goodness, yet no peace I find; I still pour out my sad complaints, My burdened spirit almost faints. 4 With sleepless eyes and speechless grief I search the past to find relief, The former years when days were bright And songs of gladness cheered my night. 5 My constant meditations bring My heart to anxious questioning: Has God cast off, and will He be No longer merciful to me? 6 Has God forgotten to be kind? Shall I His promise faithless find? For me shall wrath henceforth replace His tender mercies and His grace? 7 In weakness I was pressed with fear, But better hopes my spirit cheer; Past mercies lead me to rely Upon the help of God Most High. 8 Thy deeds, O Lord, will I relate And on thy wonders meditate; Thy way, O God, is just and right, And none is like to Thee in might. 9 Among the nations Thou hast shown Thy wondrous power and made it known; Thou art the God that mightily Redeemed and set Thy people free. 10 At sight of Thee the waters fled, The quaking clouds their torrents shed, The lightnings flashed, the thunder pealed, The trembling earth her fear revealed. 11 Thy way, O God, was in the sea, But, though Thy paths mysterious be, Thy people Thou didst safely keep As shepherds lead their helpless sheep. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: SESSIONS

Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Thro' pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Used With Tune: ANCYRA

Workman of God, O lose not heart

Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social Lyrics: 1 Workman of God, O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battle-field Thou shalt know where to strike. 2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field when He Is most invisible. 3 Then learn to scorn the praise of man, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. 4 For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.
