If You But Trust in God to Guide You

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:14 Lyrics: 1. If you but trust in God to guide you, And place your confidence in Him, You’ll find Him always there beside you To give you hope and strength within; For those who trust God’s changeless love Build on the Rock that will not move. 2. Only be still and wait His pleasure In cheerful hope, with heart content: He fills your needs to fullest measure With what discerning love has sent; Doubt not our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3. Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving, Offer your service faithfully, And trust His word; though undeserving, You’ll find His promise true to be; God never will forsake in need The soul that trusts in Him indeed.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:14 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing with those whose work is done, for all the servants of our King in heaven and earth are one. 2 One family, we dwell in him, one church, above, beneath, though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, to his command we bow: part of the host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home there pass some spirits blest, while others to the margin come, waiting their call to rest. 5 Jesu be thou our constant guide; then, when the word is given, bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, and bring us safe to heaven.

Sound our Immanuel's praise. Topics: The Resurrection of Christ, who arose for our Justification

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see: crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest: God shall be all and in all ever blest. 2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessed people eternally raise. 5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh, seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 6 Low before God with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, with them ever one.
