I Look Not Back

Author: Anon. Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1. I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets. I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2. I look not forward; God sees all the future, The road that, short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its ev'ry trial, And bear for me the burdens that may come. 3. I look not round me; then would fears assail me. So wild the tumult of earth's restless seas, So dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4. I look not inward; that would make me wretched; For I have naught on which to stay my trust. Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5. But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and ev'ry hope fulfilled.

O God, Arise! and by Thy Might

Author: Rev. Edward A. Collier Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O God arise! and by Thy might Lyrics: 1. O God, arise! and by Thy might Let all Thy foes be put to flight, With those that evil cherish: Drive them as smoke before Thine ire; As wax is molten by the fire, Let all that hate Thee perish. But let Thy saints with glad acclaim Sing praises to Thy holy Name, And cry with exultation. Cast up a highway smooth and wide, For Him who doth thro' deserts ride! The God of our salvation. 2. A father of the fatherless, A judge of widows in distress Is God, where He abideth. To those in solitude who live, He doth a happy household give, In homes that He provideth. The captives He from pris'n doth bring, And prosper them that they may sing Of Him and his salvation. But they, who wickedly rebel, He causeth in His wrath to dwell In lands of desolation. 3. God's chariots, on His people's side, Are myriads, myriads multiplied, With Him among them dwelling, As once He dwelt with veiled face In Sinai as His holy place, In glory all excelling. Thou hast ascended gloriously, And captive led captivity; Thine arm hath brought salvation, They come with gifts who did rebel, That God the Lord with them may dwell And be their consolation. 4. Blest be the Lord, for us He cares And day by day our burdens bears, The God of our salvation. God is to us a God of love, Who sends deliv'rance from above From death and desolation. But those who will in sin delight, He will with swift destruction smite, And make His saints victorious; Yea, them I'll bring--He saith to me-- From lands remote, from depths of sea, And make thy triumph glorious.
