How Firm a Foundation

Hymnal: HTLG2017 #241 (2017) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Tune Title: FOUNDATION First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord 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 hath said, who unto the Savior for refuge have fled? 2 "In ev'ry condition, in sickness, in health, in poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, at home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, as days may demand, shall thy strength ever be." 3 "Fear not, I am with thee, O 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." 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress." 5 "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." 6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to his foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johann Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HTLG2017 #94 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Tune Title: GENEVAN 42 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God; comfort those who sit in darkness mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them! Tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved His anger He no more will see nor heed. She hath suffered many a day, now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness into ever springing gladness. 3 For Elijah's voice is crying in the desert far and near, bidding all men to repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey, now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise to meet Him, and the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain, let your hearts be true and humble, as befits His holy reign; for the glory of the LORD now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that His Word is never broken.

Thou Sweet Beloved Will of God

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; Frances Bevan Hymnal: HTLG2017 #322 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: GERMANY Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet beloved will of God, my anchor ground, my fortress hill, my spirit’s silent fair abode, in thee I hide me and am still. 2 O will, that willest good alone, lead thou the way, thou guidest best; a little child, I follow on, and trusting, lean upon thy breast. 3 God’s will doth make the bitter sweet, and all is well when it is done; unless His will doth hallow it, the glory of all joy is gone. 4 Self, sense, and reason, they may scorn that hidden way that leads on high-- still be my deepest will uptorn, and so the pow'r of nature die. 5 And if in gloom I see thee not, I lean upon thy love unknown-- in me thy blessèd will is wrought, if I will nothing of my own. 6 O spirit of a little child, Of will bereft, untroubled, pure, I seek thy glory undefiled; Lord, take my will, Thy love is sure. 7 O will of God, my soul’s desire, my bread of life in want and pain; O will of God, my guiding fire, unite my will to thine again. 8 O will, in me thy work be done, for time, and for eternity-- give joy or sorrow, all are one to that blest soul that loveth thee.

One There Is Above All Others

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HTLG2017 #205 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7 Tune Title: GODESBERG 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 our Jesus died to have us reconciled in Him to God; this was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 Men, when raised to lofty stations, often know their friends no more; slight and scorn their poor relations though they valued them before. But our Savior always owns those whom He redeemed with groans. 4 When He lived on earth abased, Friend of sinners was His name; now, above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same; still He calls them brethren, friends, and to all their wants attends. 5 Could we bear from one another what He daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother loves us though we treat Him thus; though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 6 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. Topics: Salvation Languages: English
