Commit Thy way, confiding
Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37 Lyrics: 1 Commit Thy way, confiding,
When trials here arise,
To Him whose hand is guiding
The tumults of the skies.
There clouds and tempests, raging,
Have all their path assigned;
Will God, for thee engaging,
No way of safety find?
2 Trust in the Lord! His favor
Will for thy wants provide;
Regard His word!--and ever
Thy work shall safe abide.
When sorrows here o'ertake thee,
And self-inflicted care,
Let not thy God forsake thee!
He listens for thy prayer.
3 Hope on! thou weak believer,
Hope on, and falter not!
He will thy soul deliver
From deeps of troubled thought:
Thy graces He will nourish,
With hope thy heart employ,
Till faith and hope shall flourish
And yield their fruits of joy.
4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us,
Oh bring them to an end!
With needed strength supply us,
From ever foe defend!
Let us, till death pursuing
The best--Thy chosen--way,
In heaven our life renewing,
Praise Thee in endless day. Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble
Commit Thy way, confiding
We lay us calmly down to sleep
Author: Anon. Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:8 Lyrics: 1 We lay us calmly down to sleep
When friendly night is come, and leave
To God the rest;
Whether we wake to smile or weep,
Or wake no more on time's fair shore,
He knoweth best,
He knoweth best.
Refrain:
O Father, bless in love thy child!
We lay us down to sleep.
2 As sinks the sun in western skies
When day is done, and twilight dim
Comes silent on,
So fades the world's most luring prize
On eyes that close in deep repose
Till wakes the dawn,
Till wakes the dawn. [Refrain]
3 Why vex our souls with wearing care?
Why shun the grave, for aching head
So cool and low?
Have we found life so passing fair,
So grand to be, so sweet that we
Should dread to go?
Should dread to go? [Refrain]
4 Some other hand the task can take,
If so it seemeth best, the task
By us begun;
No work for which we need to wake
In joy or grief, for life so brief,
Beneath the sun,
Beneath the sun. [Refrain]

Come and Find the Quiet Center
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:7 Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care,
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

He Comes to Us As One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:7 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart;
half seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart,
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name,
for every child of earth,
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Savior and our Lord,
our Savior and our Lord. Used With Tune: REPTON
He Comes to Us As One Unknown

Commit Whatever Grieves Thee
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:5 Lyrics: 1 Commit whatever grieves thee
Into the gracious hands
Of Him who never leaves thee,
Who heav’n and earth commands.
Who points the clouds their courses,
Whom winds and waves obey,
He will direct thy footsteps
And find for thee a way.
2 On Him place thy reliance
If thou wouldst be secure;
His work thou must consider
If thine is to endure.
By anxious sighs and grieving
And self-tormenting care
God is not moved to giving;
All must be gained by prayer.
3 Thy truth and grace, O Father,
Most surely see and know
Both what is good and evil
For mortal man below.
According to Thy counsel
Thou wilt Thy work pursue;
And what Thy wisdom chooseth
Thy might will always do.
4 Thy hand is never shortened,
All things must serve Thy might;
Thine every act is blessing,
Thy path is purest light.
Thy work no man can hinder,
Thy purpose none can stay,
Since Thou to bless Thy children
Wilt always find a way.
5 Though all the powers of evil
The will of God oppose,
His purpose will not falter,
His pleasure onward goes.
Whate’er God’s will resolveth,
Whatever He intends,
Will always be accomplished
True to His aims and ends.
6 Then hope, my feeble spirit,
And be thou undismayed;
God helps in every trial
And makes thee unafraid.
Await His time with patience,
Then shall thine eyes behold
The sun of joy and gladness
His brightest beams unfold.
7 Arise, my soul, and banish
Thy anguish and thy care.
Away with thoughts that sadden
And heart and mind ensnare!
Thou art not lord and master
Of thine own destiny;
Enthroned in highest heaven,
God rules in equity.
8 Leave all to His direction;
In wisdom He doth reign,
And in a way most wondrous
His course He will maintain.
Soon He, His promise keeping,
With wonder-working skill
Shall put away the sorrows
That now thy spirit fill.
9 A while His consolation
He may to thee deny,
And seem as though in trial
He far from thee would fly;
A while distress and anguish
May compass thee around,
Nor to thy supplication
An answering voice be found.
10 But if thou perseverest,
Thou shalt deliverance find.
Behold, all unexpected
He will thy soul unbind
And from the heavy burden
Thy heart will soon set free;
And thou wilt see the blessing
He had in mind for thee.
11 O faithful child of heaven,
How blessèd shalt thou be!
With songs of glad thanksgiving
A crown awaiteth thee.
Into thy hand thy Maker
Will give the victor’s palm,
And thou to thy Deliverer
Shalt sing a joyous psalm
12 Give, Lord, this consummation
To all our heart’s distress;
Our hands, our feet, e’er strengthen,
In death our spirits bless.
Thy truth and Thy protection
Grant evermore, we pray,
And in celestial glory
Shall end our destined way.
Amen. Topics: Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: HERZLICH TUT MICH Text Sources: Tr. composite
