If You But Trust in God to Guide You
Author: Georg Christian Neumark Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 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. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Assurance; Deliverance; God--Guidance; Journey; Steadfastness; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: BREMEN Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Praise to the Holiest in the Height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O generous love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Ah, how shall fallen man
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:8 Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man
Be just before his God?
If he contend in righteousness,
We fall beneath his rod.
2 If he our ways should mark
With strict, inquiring eyes,
Could we, for one of thousand faults,
A just excuse devise?
3 All-seeing, powerful God,
Who can with these contend?
Or who that tries th' unequal strife,
Shall prosper in the end?
4 The mountains, in thy wrath,
Their ancient seats forsake;
The trembling earth deserts her place,
Her rooted pillars shake.
5 Ah, how shall guilty man
Contend with such a God?
None, none can meet him and escape,
But through the Saviour's blood! Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Man Guilty
Ah, how shall fallen man
Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
friend to me so true,
how my heart has panted
and my soul has fainted,
thirsting after you.
Yours I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer nought to hide you,
nought I ask beside you.
2 In your arms I rest me,
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
ev'ry heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
with their bitter storms assail me.
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
and, whatever I must bear,
still in you lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Topics: Trust and Guidance; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christ--All in all; Christ--Protection by; Peace, inner; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

Conviction of sin by the law
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:8-9 First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience was Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
2 My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright;
But since the precept came
With a convincing pow'r and light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thy eternal law.
4 Then felt my soul the heavy load,
My sins reviv'd again;
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.
5 I'm like a helpless captive sold
Under the pow'r of sin;
I cannot do the good I would,
Nor keep my conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry breath,
For some kind pow'r to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.
Conviction of sin by the law

Too long the shadows frown!
Too long the darkened way we’ve trod:
Your truth, O Lord, send down.

One temple for your worship be:
Your Spirit, O send down.

Our lesser lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Your living love send down.

Earth’s bitter voices drown
In one deep ocean of accord:
Your peace, O God, send down.

and in our hearts your work begin,
and make our hearts your dwelling.

around and in us brightly shine,
your strength in us upwelling.
In your radiance
life from heaven
now is given
overflowing,
gift of gifts beyond all knowing.
2 Left to ourselves, we surely stray;
O lead us on the narrow way,
with wisest counsel guide us;
and give us steadfastness, that we
may follow you for ever free,
no matter who derides us.
Gently heal those
hearts now broken;
give some token
you are near us,
whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty rock, O source of life,
let your good word in doubt and strife
be in us strongly burning,
that we be faithful unto death
and live in love and holy faith,
from you true wisdom learning.
Lord, your mercy
on us shower;
by your power
Christ confessing,
we will cherish all your blessing. Topics: Comfort; Faith; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Guidance; Holy Spirit; Perseverance Used With Tune: WIR SCHÖN LEUCHTET
