Since Jesus is my friend
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: BWHT1899 #504 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my friend,
And I to Him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find Him near;--
3 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
4 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings,--
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
5 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
Amen. Topics: Christ Our Confidence; Christ Joy of believers in; Courage; Fear Dispelled; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD
Since Jesus is my friend
O Lord, my best desire fulfil
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #505 (1899) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my best desire fulfil,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to Thy will,
And make Thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at Thy command,
Whose Love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No, let me rather freely yield
What most I prize to Thee,
Who never hast a good withheld,
Or wilt withhold from me.
4 Thy favor, all my journey through,
Thou art engaged to grant:
What else I want, or think I do,
'Tis better still to want.
Amen. Topics: Fear Dispelled; Patience; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: BOSTON
O Lord, my best desire fulfil
Our times are in Thy hand
Author: William R. Lloyd Hymnal: BWHT1899 #506 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Our times are in Thy hand:
O God, we wish them there;
Our life, our friends, our souls we leave
Entirely to Thy care.
2 Our times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be,
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.
3 Our times are in Thy hand:
Why should we doubt or fear?
My Father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
4 Our times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, the Crucified;
The hand our many sins have pierced,
Is now my guard and guide.
5 Our times are in Thy hand:
We'll always trust on Thee,
Till we have left the weary land,
And all Thy glory see.
Amen. Topics: Fear Dispelled; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: STATE STREET
Our times are in Thy hand
'Tis by the faith of joys to come
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #507 (1899) Lyrics: 1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come
We walk through deserts dark as night;
Till we arrive at heaven our home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2 The want of sight she well supplies;
She makes the pearly gates appear;
Far into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glories near.
3 Cheerful we tread the desert through,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Though lions roar, and tempests blow,
And rocks and dangers fill the way.
4 So Abra'm, by divine command,
Left his own house to walk with God;
His faith beheld the promised land,
And cheered him on his toilsome road.
Amen. Topics: Faith Power of; Faith Walking by; Fear Dispelled; Hope; Faith Living by; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL

My spirit on Thy care
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: BWHT1899 #508 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest;
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform:
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me;
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee.
Amen. Topics: Fear Dispelled; Trials Submission in; Trust In Christ Languages: English Tune Title: TUCKER

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Hymnal: BWHT1899 #509 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He has said,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
2 "In every condition--in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth,
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.
3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!"
Amen. Topics: Covenant; Faith Blessedness of; Trials Comfort in; The Word Languages: English Tune Title: PORTUGUESE HYMN

Jehovah is our strength
Author: Anon. Hymnal: BWHT1899 #510 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Jehovah is our strength,
And He shall be our song;
We shall o’ercome at length,
Although our foes be strong;
In vain does Satan then oppose,
The Lord is stronger than His foes.
2 The Lord our refuge is,
And ever will remain;
Since He hath made us His,
He will our cause maintain:
In vain our enemies oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.
3 The Lord our portion is,
What can we wish for more?
As long as we are His,
We never can be poor:
In vain do earth and hell oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.
4 The Lord our Shepherd is,
He knows our every need;
And since we now are His,
His care our souls will feed:
In vain do sin and death oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.
5 Our God our Father is,
Our names are on His heart;
We ever shall be His,
He ne’er from us will part;
In vain the world and flesh oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.
Amen. Topics: God our father; God Our Refuge; God our shepherd; Jehovah; Portion God, the believer's; Strength; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: WARSAW

Dear Refuge of my weary soul
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: BWHT1899 #511 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
2 To thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy word can bring a sweet relief,
For every pain I feel.
3 But, oh, when gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call Thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust;
And still my soul would cleave to Thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.
Amen. Topics: God Our Refuge; Providence; Trials Prayer in; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: GEER
Dear Refuge of my weary soul
Courage, my soul! while God is near
Author: Anon. Hymnal: BWHT1899 #512 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near,
What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defence,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Though thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on Him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Though billows after billows roll
To overwhelm my sinking soul
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand,
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life His presence is my aid;
In death 'twill guide me through the shade,
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day.
Amen. Topics: Faith Assurance of; Faith Blessedness of; Faith Power of; Faith Walking by; Fear Dispelled; God Omnipotent; Providence; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
Courage, my soul! while God is near
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: BWHT1899 #513 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
No one into His kingdom comes,
But through His opened door,
But through His opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessèd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
What will Thy glory be!
Amen. Topics: Christ Leader; Faith Blessedness of; Life Object of; Obedience; Providence; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: ARCADIA
