In the Cross of Christ I glory
Author: John Bowring, 1792 - 1872 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,514 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive and fears annoy,
Never shall the Cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the Cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide. Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS

In a brighter, brighter world above. [Chorus]

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense
And my Savior, now is living!
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope here given
Though the night of death be caught
Still in many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives;
Likewise I to life shall waken.
He will bring me where he is;
Shall my courage then be shaken?
Shall I fear, or could the head
Rise and leave his members dead?
3 No, I am too closely bound
By my hope to Christ forever;
Faith's strong hand the rock has found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Even death now cannot part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 I am flesh and must return
To the dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I will awaken
With my Savior to abide
In his glory, at his side.
5 Then these eyes my Lord will know,
My redeemer and my brother;
In his love my soul will glow--
I myself and not another!
Then the weakness I feel here
Will forever disappear.
6 Then take comfort and rejoice,
For his members Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear his voice;
Dying, they will never perish;
For the very grave is stirred
When the trumpet's blast is heard.
7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts
From all pleasures base and hollow.
Strive to share what he imparts
While you here his footsteps follow.
As you now still wait to rise,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies. Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT Text Sources: Berlin, 1653

in parched and barren ways
so longs my soul for you, O God,
and your refreshing grace.
2 For you, my God, the living God,
my thirsting soul will pine:
O when shall I behold your face,
your majesty divine?
3 God of my strength, my tears have been
by day and night my food;
the mockers taunt continually
and say: 'Where is your God?'
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and you shall sing
the praise of him who is your God,
your health's eternal spring.

The Will of God Is Always Best
Author: Albrecht von Preussen, 1490-1568 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Hope and Comfort Lyrics: 1 The will of God is always best
and shall be done forever;
and they who trust in him are blest;
he will forsake them never.
He helps indeed in time of need;
he chastens with forbearing.
They who depend on God, their friend,
shall not be left despairing.
2 God is my comfort and my trust,
my hope and life abiding;
and to his counsel, wise and just,
I yield, in him confiding.
The very hairs, his Word declares,
upon my head he numbers.
By night and day God is my stay;
he never sleeps nor slumbers.
3 Lord, this I ask, O hear my plea,
deny me not this favor:
when Satan sorely troubles me,
then do not let me waver.
O guard me well, my fear dispel,
fulfill your faithful saying:
all who believe by grace receive
an answer to their praying.
4 When life's brief course on earth is run
and I this world am leaving,
grant me to say, "Your will be done,"
your faithful Word believing.
My heav'nly Friend, I now commend
my soul into your keeping,
o'er sin and hell and death as well
in you the vict'ry reaping.

Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain.

May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.

Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
