Blest be Thy love, dear Lord

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #404 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Blest be Thy love, dear Lord, That taught us this sweet way, Only to love Thee for Thyself, And for that love obey. 2 O Thou, our soul's chief Hope! We to Thy mercy fly; What'er we are, Thou canst protect, What'er we need, supply. 3 Whether we sleep or wake, To Thee we both resign; The darkest night is as the day, If Thy light on us shine. 4 Whether we live or die, Both we submit to Thee; In death we live as well as life, If Thine in faith we be.

My God, I love Thee, not because

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #405 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because I hope for heav'n thereby; Nor yet because who love Thee not Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace, 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, Yea, death itself; and all for one That was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ, Should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord! 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #407 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend, Here on earth we are but strangers, Towards our promised Land we wend, Through a wilderness of dangers; Here we roam a pilgrim-band, Yonder is our native land. 2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Thou canst claim a heavenly nature; Cleave not to these earthly things, Thou canst rest not in the creature. Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends. Languages: English

Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #409 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt deal Thou with me, No other wish I cherish; In life and death I cling to Thee, O Lord, let me not perish! Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part, Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart: Thy will the best is ever. 2 Grant honor, truth, and self-control, And love the Word to ponder; From doctrines false preserve my soul: And grant both here and yonder What will conduce to blessed days; Keep far all wrong and crooked ways From all my life and doings. 3 When I, according to Thy will, Shall leave this vale of sadness, O let Thy grace my bosom fill, That I may go with gladness; My spirit I commend to Thee, O Lord, a blessed end give me Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen. Languages: English

Commit thy way, confiding

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #411 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Commit thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on them, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises,-- God gives it thee to bear;-- Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day. Languages: English

Seems it in my anguish lone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #412 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.

In God, my faithful God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #413 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; Though many woes o’ertake me, Yet He will not forsake me; His love it is doth send them, And when ’tis best will end them. 2 My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more; I build on Christ who loves me, From this Rock nothing moves me, Since I can all surrender To Him, my soul’s Defender. 3 If death my portion be, Then death is gain to me, And Christ my Life for ever, From whom death cannot sever; Come when it may, He’ll shield me, To Him I'll wholly yield me. 4 'So be it,' then I say, With all my heart each day; Guide us while here we wander, Till safely landed yonder, We too, dear Lord, adore Thee, And sing for joy before Thee.
