Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #609 (1990) Meter: 8.3.3.6.7.3.3.6 Topics: Trust in God; The Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering; Christ Shepherd; Longing for Christ and God; Love For Christ of God; Nearness to Christ of God Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me? Christ is near with his cheer; never will he leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven that God's Son for my own to my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness; shall I grieve if he give seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever all my ill, and he will wholly leave me never. 3 Death cannot destroy forever; from our fears, cares, and tears it will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story, make a way that we may enter heav'nly glory. 4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee. Thou art mine; I was thine, even ere I knew thee. I am thine, for thou hast bought me; lost I stood, but thy blood free salvation brought me. 5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee. Light of joy, ne'er shall I from my heart dethrone thee. Savior, let me soon behold thee face to face; may thy grace evermore enfold me! Scripture: Psalm 73:23-24 Languages: English Tune Title: WARUM SOLLT' ICH MICH DENN GRÄMEN
