O Love that wilt not let me go

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Hymnal: Together in Song #602 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, that in thine ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; my heart restores its borrowed ray, that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day may brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain that morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee: I lay in dust life’s glory dead, and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be.

Give to the winds thy fears

Author: J. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #629 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Scripture: Psalm 30 Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head: Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way: Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight--let fear depart, And every care be gone. What though thou rulest not; Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim--God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov-reign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; He Ruleth All Things Well
