God of my life, whose gracious power

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Trust In God Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through various deaths my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head! 2 In all my ways Thy hand I own, Thy ruling providence I see: Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to Thee. 3 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O God, my Wisdom art; I ever into ruin run: But Thou art greater than my heart. 4 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find, The heaven of loving Thee alone. 5 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room; Enter, and in me ever stay: The crooked then shall straight become, The darkness shall be lost in day. Amen. Used With Tune: FOREST

I could not do without thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Trust in God Lyrics: 1 I could not do without thee, O Saviour of the lost, whose precious blood redeemed me at such tremendous cost; thy righteousness, thy pardon, thy precious blood, must be my only hope and comfort, my glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, no wisdom of my own; but thou, belovèd Saviour, art all in all to me, and weakness will be power if leaning hard on thee. 3 I could not do without thee, for, oh, the way is long, and I am often weary, and sigh replaces song: how could I do without thee? I do not know the way; thou knowest, and thou leadest, and wilt not let me stray. 4 I could not do without thee, O Jesus, Saviour dear; e’en when my eyes are holden, I know that thou art near; how dreary and how lonely this changeful life would be without the sweet communion, the secret rest with thee. 5 I could not do without thee; no other friend can read the spirit’s strange deep longings, interpreting its need; no human heart could enter each dim recess of mine, and soothe, and hush, and calm it, O Blessèd Lord, but thine. 6 I could not do without thee, for years are fleeting fast, and soon in solemn loneness the river must be passed; but thou wilt never leave me, and though the waves roll high, I know thou wilt be near me, and whisper, 'It is I.'

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: God Trust in Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way-- lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."
