Happy the hours, the golden days

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 Happy the hours, the golden days, When I could call my Jesus mine, And sit, and view his smiling face, And melt in pleasures all divine. 2 But now he's gone (O mighty wo!) Gone from my soul and hides his love! I hate the sins that griev'd him so, The sins that forc'd him to remove! 3 Yet let my hope look through my tears, And spy afar his rolling throne, His chariot through the cleaving spheres Shall bring the bright Beloved down. 4 Swift as a roe flies o'er the hills, My soul springs out to meet him high: Then shall the conqu'ror turn his wheels And climb the mansions of the sky.

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Neumark Appears in 190 hymnals Topics: Fear Dispelled Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2 Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope with heart content To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted Him indeed. Amen. Used With Tune: NEUMARK

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,346 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials sore may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service pain is pleasure; With Thy favor loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THEE I'M WEARY
