Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #420 (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 Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
Christ is near,
What can here
E’er of Him deprive me?
Who can rob me of my heaven
That God’s Son,
As mine 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
Every hurt;
Me desert
Wholly can He never.
3 What is all this life possesseth?
But a hand
Full of sand
That the heart distresseth.
Noble gifts that tire me never,
Christ so free
There gives me
To enjoy forever.
4 Shepherd! Lord! joy's fountain ever,
Thou art mine, I am Thine,
No one can us sever.
I am thine because Thou gavest
Life and blood
For my good,
By Thy death me savest.
5 Thou art mine, I love and own Thee,
Ne'er shall I, Light of joy,
From my heart dethrone Thee.
Let me, let me
Soon behold Thee
Face to face;
Thy embrace,
May it soon enfold me! Languages: English Tune Title: LÜNEBURG (Warum sollt' ich mich denn graemen)
Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
O Lord! how happy is the time
Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #421 (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 O Lord! how happy is the time,
When in Thy love I rest,
When from my weariness I climb
E'en to Thy tender breast.
The night of sorrow endeth there,
The rays outshine the sun,
And in Thy pardon, and Thy care,
The heav'n of heav'ns is won.
2 The world may call itself my foe,
Or let the world allure,
I care not for the world, I go
To this tried Friend and sure.
And when life's fiercest storms are sent,
Upon life's wildest sea,
My little bark is confident,
Because it holds by Thee.
3 When the law threatens endless death,
Upon the dreadful hill,
Straightway from its consuming breath
My soul mounts higher still;
It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain,
And finds in Him its home,
Whence it shall not go forth again,
And where no death can come.
4 I do not fear the wilderness,
Where Thou hast been before;
Nay! rather would I daily press
Toward Thee, and near Thee more!
Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean,
My heart Thou makest sing,
And to Thy pastures rich and green
Thy chosen flock wilt bring.
5 And if the gate that opens there
Be closed to other men,
It is not closed to those who share
The heart of Jesus then.
That is not losing much of life,
Which is not losing thee,
Who art as present in the strife,
As in the victory! Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTER
O Lord! how happy is the time
Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #422 (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 Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee,
Whatever may betide;
Though health should fail, and riches flee,
Though friends, the dearest far to me,
Be taken from my side.
2 I know that sickness, sorrow, death,
Lie in the onward way;
O help me, in true-hearted faith,
To rest on Jesus' word, which saith,
"Strength shall be as thy day."
3 In sickness passed, in dangers o'er,
My Helper Thou hast been;
Then should I, for each coming hour,
Trust childlike that thy love and power
Support will yield again.
4 Though in that last, that darksome glade,
Ends all our earthly view,
If but Thy voice, "Be not afraid,"
Be heard amid its deep'ning shade,
I'll calmly journey through.
5 When this poor heart on Thee I stay,
On earth is heaven begun;
Then love leads on from day to day
In duty's path and helps me say,
"Thy will, not mine, be done."
6 Thus would I ever trust in Thee,
My Comforter and Guide:
For e'en though fears and sins prevail,
Thy promises can never fail,
Whatever may betide. Languages: English Tune Title: TAPPAN
Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee

Wherefore art thou thus cast down?
Let thy griefs be turned to gladness,
Bid thy restless fears be gone;
Look to Jesus,
Look to Jesus,
And rejoice in His dear Name.
2 What though Satan's strong temptations
Vex and grieve thee day by day?
And thy sinful inclinations
Often fill thee with dismay?
Thou shalt conquer,
Thou shalt conquer,
Through the Lamb's redeeming blood.
3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee,
From without and from within,
Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee,
But will save from hell and sin:
He is faithful,
He is faithful,
To perform His gracious Word.
4 Though distresses now attend thee,
And Thou tread'st the thorny road,
His right hand shall still defend thee;
Soon He'll bring thee home to God!
Therefore praise Him,
Therefore praise Him,
Praise thy great Redeemer's Name. Languages: English Tune Title: CALVARY

3 Whate'er Thy will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
Still let me know a Father reigns,
And trust a Father's care.

To my weak, erring sight;

That all Thy ways are right. Languages: English Tune Title: PARAH

Nor may each purpose tell,
But this I know to wake my praise:
Thou doest all things well.

The glowing fires along,
Which serve to purge away the dross
And make the spirit strong.
4 To me, O Lord! Thy grace impart
Each trial to abide,
And ever let my bleeding heart
Cling to Thy bleeding side. Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH

My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon grant, new peace impart:
Dear Lord, remember me!

And ills I cannot flee,

Dear Lord, remember me!

This feeble frame shall be;
Grant patience, rest, and kind relief:
Dear Lord, remember me!
5 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree,
Be this the prayer of my last breath,
Dear Lord, remember me!

And lift my soul to Thee,
Then, with the saints at Thy right hand,
Dear Lord, remember me! Languages: English Tune Title: MERTON

God’s ways are always right;

Though far above our sight.

Though deep and sore the smart;
The hand that wounds knows how to bind
And heal the broken heart.
3 Beloved, "It is well!"
Though sorrow clouds our way,
’Twill only make the joy more dear
That ushers in the day.
4 Beloved, "It is well!"
The path that Jesus trod,
Though rough and strait and dark it be,
Leads home to Heaven and God. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAWMUT
