Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?

And since I knew thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.

Of the celestial road,
And march with courage in thy strength
To see my father God.
4 When I am fill'd with sore distress
For some surprising sin,
I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
And mention none but thine.

The victories of my king!
My soul redeem'd from sin and hell
Shall thy salvation sing.

My Saviour and my God;
His death has brought my foes to shame,
And sav'd me by his blood.
7 Awake, awake, my tuneful powers;
With this delightful song
I'll entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.] Scripture: Psalm 71:22-24 Languages: English

The guide of all my days,
I have declar'd thy heavenly truth,
And told thy wondrous ways.
2 Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart?
Who shall sustain my sinking years
If God my strength depart?
3 Let me thy power and truth proclaim
Before the rising age,
And leave a savour of thy name
When I shall quit the stage.
4 The land of silence and of death
Attends my next remove;
Oh may these poor remains of breath
Teach the wide world thy love!
Pause.
5 Thy righteousness is deep and high,
Unsearchable thy deeds;
Thy glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all my praise exceeds.
6 Oft have I heard thy threatenings roar,
And oft endur'd the grief:
But when thy hand has prest me sore,
Thy grace was my relief.
7 By long experience have I known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command I venture down
Securely to the grave.
8 When I lie buried deep in dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
These wither'd limbs with thee I trust
To raise them strong and fair. Scripture: Psalm 71:17-21 Languages: English

If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #142 (1989) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Year New Year; The Glory of the Triune God Providence; Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Strength in Triublation; Adoration and Praise; Christian Year New Year; Christian Year Lent; Comfort; Courage; Funerals and Memorial Services; Grief; Guidance; Hope; Pilgrimage; Providence; Trust Lyrics: 1. If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
and hope in God through all thy ways,
God will give strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days.
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that naught can move.
2. Only be still, and wait God's leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Maker's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
we know our inmost wants are known,
for we are called to be God's own.
3. Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving;
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust God's word; though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted God indeed.

"Where are the mourners," saith the Lord,
"That wait and tremble at my word,
That walk in darkness all the day?
Come, make my name your trust and stay.
["No works nor duties of your own
Can for the smallest sin atone
The robes that nature may provide
Will not your least pollutions hide.
"The softest couch that nature knows
Can give the conscience no repose;
Look to my righteousness and live;
Comfort and peace are mine to give.]
"Ye sons of pride, that kindle coals
With your own hands, to warm your souls
Walk in the light of your own fire,
Enjoy the sparks that ye desire:
"This is your portion at my hands;--
Hell waits you with her iron bands;
Ye shall lie down in sorrow there,
In death, in darkness, and despair."
Scripture: Psalm 71:17-21 Languages: English

Nor for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength, that we may ever
Live our lives courageously,

2 Not forever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathways
May we tread rejoicingly,
May we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not forever by still waters
Would we idly quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way,
From the rocks along our way.
4 Be our Strength in hours of weakness,
In our wand’rings be our Guide;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side,
Father, be Thou at our side.
5 Let our path be bright or dreary,
Storm or sunshine be our share;
May our souls, in hope unweary
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer,
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: MEADOWS

a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing:
dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
the truth to triumph through us:
the prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
