In Thy heart and hands, my God

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Joseph Winckler Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Thy heart and hands, my God, Calmly now my soul reposes, Waiting patiently the end That Thy aim in all discloses; Stripped of self, how sweet my rest On my loving Father's breast. 2 And my soul repineth not, Well content whate'er befall it; Murmurs, wishes of self-will, Doomed to death, no more enthrall it; Restless thoughts, that fret and crave, Slumber in my Savior's grave. 3 And my soul doth cease from cares, From the thoughts that sore perplex us, That destroy the inner peace, For like sharpest thorns they vex us; He who made her careth well, It but seeks in peace to dwell. 4 And my soul despaireth not, Loves Him most when sad and lonely; Grief that wrings and breaks the heart Comes to those who hate Him only; They who love Him still possess Comfort in their worst distress. 5 And my soul complaineth not, For no pain or fears dismay it, Still she clings to God in faith, Trusts Him, though He seem to slay it. 'T is when flesh and blood repine, Sun of joy, Thou canst not shine. 6 Thus my soul is still and waits, Every murmuring word she hushes, Conqu'ring thus the pain or wrong That the restless spirit crushes; Like a silent ocean, bright With its Maker's praise and light.

Welcome God's And Mary's Son

Author: Caspar Neumann, 1648-1715; Milo Mahan, 1819-1870 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Welcome God’s and Mary’s Son Jesu, who to earth descending, Didst our nature with Thine own Join in union never ending: Save us from th’oppressor’s rod, Oh our Brother and our God! 2. All was lost in Adam’s fall; All in Thee is now recovered. Once to sin and death a thrall, O’er the pit of hell I hovered: Now I learn to cling to Thee— Once with Adam, one with me. 3. Out of Heav’n didst Thou come down; Out of hell my soul deliver. Scarce a stall in David’s town, Welcomed Thee; but, gracious Giver, Grant to us beyond the sky, Each a starry home on high. 4. Cleaves my soul to dross and dust; Help me, Lord, I sink and perish; Purge my heart of earthly lust, Life divine within me cherish; Dweller in the manger, Thou, Dwell Thyself within me now. 5. Scant and mean the swaddling clothes, Limbs divine, like Thine, to cover! Be the sin my spirit loathes Bound in them and covered over: But myself be clothed in Thee, Jesu, by Thy Spirit free. 6. Ah! the pain that came to Thee, In the hard and narrow manger! May my spirit cradled be In Thy heart, secure from danger, When my weary head is hid Underneath the coffin lid. 7. Is it still the devil’s lust Souls of men in sin to smother? Yet in this I put my trust— God became my Friend and Brother! Heart and mind in Thee to dwell, Help me, mine Immanuel!

Jesus! great and wondrous Star

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D.; Edmann Neumeister Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! great and wondrous Star, Both from Jacob's line and heaven, Festive gifts from near and far On this day to Thee are given: Oh! accept most graciously What I humbly offer Thee. 2 Saba bringeth gold to Thee; Lord, I give what thou hast given: gold of faith receive from me-- Precious gold that counts in heaven! Prove it, purge it free from dross In the furnace of the cross. 3 Take the frankincense of prayer; May it prove a sweet oblation! Heart and lips shall everywhere Strive to meet Thy approbation; Hear and heed my prayer, and then Seal it with Thy "Yea: Amen!" 4 Take contrition, bitter myrrh; O how sorely my sins grieve me! Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive.

Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true

Author: J. Scheffler Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wilt Thou not, my Shepherd true, Spare Thy sheep, in mercy spare me? Wilt Thou not, as shepherds do, In Thine arms rejoicing bear me; Bear me where all troubles cease, Home to folds of joy and peace? 2 With thy flock I long to be, With the flock to whom 'tis given Safe to feed, and, praising Thee, Roam the happy plains of heaven: Free from fear of sinful stain, They can never stray again. 3 Lord! I here am sore beset, Fears at every step confound me; Lo! my foes have spread their net, And with craft and might surround me; Such their snares on every side, Safe Thy sheep can ne'er abide. 4 See, on earth's wide desert way How my truant steps mislead me; Bring me back, no more to stray, In Thine own green pastures feed me. Gather me within the fold, Where Thy lambs Thy light behold.

Why art thou cast down, my soul?

Author: B. Schmolck; H. A. Brorson Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why art thou cast down, my soul? O what mean thy sighs and sadness? Trust in Him who makes thee whole, And thy griefs can turn to gladness,-- Often in the darkest hour He reveals His love and power. 2 On this ground thy anchor cast; Safe thou art, in Christ confiding; All the griefs which here thou hast Are but shadows unabiding. Soon thy cross shall pass away, Joy shall come that lasts for aye. 3 Christ's own way is always good, Christians find this consolation: He who bought thee with His blood, Now stands pledged for thy salvation. Rest upon His sacred word-- That assurance doth afford! 4 Jesus gives us joy and tears, Blesséd be His name forever! When thy way most dark appears, Trust in Him, despond thou never; Weary soul, when sore distressed, Call on Him and be at rest. 5 Surely, narrow is the way To the land of gladness yonder; While on this sad earth we stay, We must here as pilgrims wander, Through the desert we must roam, Till we Canaan reach, our home. 6 Upward, then, my weary soul, Where the crown of life is given! Pressing onward to the goal, I shall win the bliss of heaven; For, O Jesus, I am Thine, Blest am I, for Thou art mine!
