Unanswered Yet

Author: F. G. Burroughs Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10.10 Appears in 79 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143:1 First Line: Unanswered yet? The prayer your lips have pleaded Lyrics: 1 Unanswered yet? The prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing, And think you all in vain those falling tears? Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer; You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere. 2 Unanswered yet? Though when you first presented This one petition at the Father’s throne, It seemed you could not wait the time of asking, So urgent was your heart to make it known. Though years have passed since then, do not despair; The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere. 3 Unanswered yet? But you are not unheeded; The promises of God forever stand; To Him our days and years alike are equal; “Have faith in God”; it is your Lord’s command. Hold on to Jacob’s angel and your prayer Shall bring a blessing down sometime, somewhere. 4 Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted; Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done; The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has begun. If you will keep the incense burning there, His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere. 5 Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered; Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock; Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted, Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock. She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer, And cries, “It shall be done,” sometime, somewhere.

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143:8 First Line: All depends on our possessing Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken By their God are not forsaken And will keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me And to many joys has led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, He who daily guides and rules me Will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope anew my heart will quicken; All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender, For on God alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way. 6 If my days on earth He lengthen, God my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Andächtige Haus-Kirche, Nürnberg, 1676
