One there is above all others
Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #456b (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end;
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed their blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in him to God;
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a friend in need.
3 When he lived on earth abasèd,
'Friend of sinners' was his Name;
Now, above all glory raisèd,
He rejoices in the same;
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas, forget too often
What a friend we have above;
But when home our souls are brought
We will love thee as we ought.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #483 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
2 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
Faith sees a smiling face.
3 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
4 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessing on your head.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
I look to thee in every need
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819 - 92 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #490 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 I look to thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
2 Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
3 Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will:
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
4 Embosomed deep in thy dear love,
Held in thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU
I look to thee in every need

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878; Johann Heermann, 1586-1647 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #504 (1978) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
True fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing:
Give me a healthy frame,
And may I have within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
With ready heart and willing
Whatever you command,
My calling here fulfilling -
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength - and bless
Whatever I have wrought,
For you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
That later need recalling;
Guard me, lest idle speech
May from my lips be falling;
But when, within in my place,
I must and ought to speak,
Then to my words give grace,
Lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
Oh, keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross
When life seems dark and cheerless;
Help me, as you have taught,
To love both great and small,
And, by your Spirit's might,
To live at peace with all. Languages: English Tune Title: WAS FRAG ICH NACH DER WELT
O God, My Faithful God
In the Hour of Trial
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #511 (1982) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me
Lest by base denial
I depart from thee.
When thou see'st me waver,
With a look recall
Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
Should this vain world charm
Or its tempting treasures
Spread to work me harm,
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crowned Calvary.
3 Should thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe,
Or should pain attend me
On my path below,
Grant that I may never
Fail thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on thee.
4 When my last hour cometh,
Fraught with strife and pain,
When my dust returneth
To the dust again,
On thy truth relying,
Through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me, dying,
To eternal life. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARY MAGDALENE
In the Hour of Trial
The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #526 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied;
Since he is mine and I am his,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e’er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim,
And guides me in his own right way,
For his most holy Name. A-men.
4 While he affords his aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death’s dark shade,
My Shepherd’s with me there.
5 In sight of all my foes
Thou dost a table spread;
My cup with blessing overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
6 The bounties of thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak thy praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: THATCHER
The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Georg Neumark, 1621 - 81 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #568 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in him through all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, what e'er betide thee,
And bear thee through the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that nought 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 await his leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er your Father's pleasure
And all discerning love have sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To him who chose us for his own.
4 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving;
In all thy labor faithful be,
And trust his word; though undeserving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee:
God never will forsake in need
The soul that trusts in him indeed. Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK (WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT)
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Author: Samuel Stennett, 1727 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #570 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train,
That fill the heavenly train.
3 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete,
And makes my joys complete.
4 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be thine,
Lord, they should all be thine.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE
