I cannot call affliction sweet

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Prayer in affliction Lyrics: I cannot call affliction sweet, And yet 'twas good to bear: Affliction brought me to Thy feet, And I found comfort there. My weanèd soul was all-resign'd To Thy most gracious will; Oh! had I kept that better mind, Or been afflicted still! Where are the vows which then I vow'd, The joys which then I knew? Those vanish'd, like the morning cloud, These like the early dew. 185 Lord, grant me grace for every day, Whate'er my state may be, Through life, in death, with truth to say, "My God is all to me!"

O All Ye Peoples, Bless Our God

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life And steadfast makes our ways. Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire; Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Through 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
