Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Man a Saint Submission to the Will of God Lyrics: 1 Thy will be done! I will not fear The fate provided by Thy love; Though clouds and darkness shroud me here, I know that all is bright above. 2 The stars of heaven are shining on, Though these frail eyes are dimmed with tears; And hopes of earth indeed are gone, But are not ours th' immortal years? 3 Father! forgive the heart that clings, Thus trembling, to the things of time; And bid the soul, on angel wings, Ascend into a purer clime. 4 There shall no doubts disturb its trust, No sorrows dim celestial love; But these afflictions of the dust, Like shadows of the night, remove. 5 Even now, above, there's radiant day, While clouds and darkness brood below; Then, Father, joyful on my way To drink the bitter cup I go.

Bow your ear to us here; hear, O Christ, the praises that your church now raises. 3 Fount of every blessing, purify my spirit, trusting only in your merit.

O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Will Of God Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by every foe! That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt: 4 That bears, unmoved, the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Or Satan's arts beguile: 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Illumes a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, We'll taste, while here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Crowning gift of resurrection sent from your ascended throne, fullness of the very Godhead, come to make your life our own. 2 He who in creation's dawning brooded on the lifeless deep, still across our nature's darkness moves to wake our souls from sleep, moves to stir, to draw, to quicken, thrusts us through with sense of sin; brings to birth and seals and fills us saving Advocate within. 3 He, himself the living Author, wakes to life the sacred Word, reads with us its holy pages and reveals our risen Lord. He it is who works within us, teaching rebel hearts to pray, he whose holy intercessions rise for us both night and day. 4 He, the mighty God, indwells us; his to strengthen, help, empower; his to overcome the tempter ours to call in danger's hour. In his strength we dare to battle all the raging hosts of sin, and by him alone we conquer foes without and foes within. 5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit in our hearts may rule today, grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered, work in us his sovereign way. Fill us with your holy fullness, God the Father, Spirit, Son; in us, through us, then, forever, shall your perfect will be done. Scripture: Romans 8:26 Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
