And, O Lord Jesus, Thou art mine: And blest am I that I am Thine! 3 This sweet assurance bids my heart Abide Thy time, till clouds shall part; To Thee I'll trust me wholly then, And cry: Lord, help me! Yea, Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE

Commit thy way, confiding

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Rev. Henry Mills, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #411 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope 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 then, 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.

Seems it in my anguish lone

Author: Christoph Titius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #412 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope 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.

The life that my soul liveth, Finds nothing on the earth; What Christ, the Savior, giveth Of all our love is worth. 2 No angel, nought that gladdens, No throne nor majesty, No love, nor aught that saddens, No grief nor misery, Nor aught that man discovers, Now be it small or great, From Thee, my heavenly Lover's Embrace can separate. 3 My heart with joy is springing, And sad I cannot be; 'Tis full of joy and singing, The sunshine doth it see. The Sun that looks with pleasure On me is Christ my King; The glory beyond measure That waits me, makes me sing. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFIX

If thou suffer God to guide thee

Author: George Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #418 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him thro' all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, And bear thee thro' the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love, Builds on the rock that none can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3 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. 4 He knows the time for joy, and truly Will send it when He sees it meet, When He has tried and purged thee duly, And finds thee free from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee own His loving care. 5 Nor think, amid the heat of trial, That God hath cast thee off unheard; That he whose hopes meet no denial Must surely be of God preferred; Time passes and much change doth bring And sets a bound to everything. 6 All are alike before the Highest; 'Tis easy to our God, we know, To raise thee up, though low thou liest, To make the rich man poor and low: True wonders still by Him are wrought Who setteth up and brings to nought. 7 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.

In Thy heart and hands, my God

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Joseph Winckler Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #419 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 In Thy heart and hands, my God, Calmly now my soul reposes, Waiting patiently the end That Thy aim in all discloses; Stripped of self, how sweet my rest On my loving Father's breast. 2 And my soul repineth not, Well content whate'er befall it; Murmurs, wishes of self-will, Doomed to death, no more enthrall it; Restless thoughts, that fret and crave, Slumber in my Savior's grave. 3 And my soul doth cease from cares, From the thoughts that sore perplex us, That destroy the inner peace, For like sharpest thorns they vex us; He who made her careth well, It but seeks in peace to dwell. 4 And my soul despaireth not, Loves Him most when sad and lonely; Grief that wrings and breaks the heart Comes to those who hate Him only; They who love Him still possess Comfort in their worst distress. 5 And my soul complaineth not, For no pain or fears dismay it, Still she clings to God in faith, Trusts Him, though He seem to slay it. 'T is when flesh and blood repine, Sun of joy, Thou canst not shine. 6 Thus my soul is still and waits, Every murmuring word she hushes, Conqu'ring thus the pain or wrong That the restless spirit crushes; Like a silent ocean, bright With its Maker's praise and light.
