Fight the good fight with all thy might
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 514 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Fight the good fight with all thy might,
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;
lay hold on life, and it shall be
thy joy and crown eternally.
2 Run the straight race through God's good grace,
lift up thine eyes, and seek his face;
life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
3 Cast care aside; and on thy Guide
lean, and his mercy will provide,
lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4 Faint not, nor fear; his arm is near;
he changes not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
that Christ is all in all to thee.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 637 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
O may thy will be mine;
into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as thine own;
and help me still to say,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
give me thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy Word
let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Used With Tune: JEWETT
My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Trust in God 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 tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear 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 shall bear,
Though all the field 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.
Amen. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Used With Tune: BENTLEY

His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Author: Civilla D. Martin, 1868-1949 Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Trust in God First Line: Why should I feel discouraged Lyrics: 1 Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is he:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
2 "Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender word I hear,
And resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Tho' by the path he leadeth
But one step I may see:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
3 Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
From care he sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
Amen.

Our times are in Thy hand

Whatever they may be,
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.

His child a needless tear.

Jesus, the Crucified;

Is now my guard and guide.

We'll always trust on Thee,
Till we have left the weary land,
And all Thy glory see.

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,754 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55-58 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,283 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom;
lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 932 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of our mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We would trust God's saving word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior.
There is healing in his blood. Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
