How Gentle God's Commands
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: TH1990 #681 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How gentle God's commands,
how kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
and trust his constant care.
2 While Providence supports,
let saints securely dwell;
that hand, which bears all nature up,
shall guide his children well.
3 Why should this anxious load
press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heav'nly Father's throne,
and sweet communion find.
4 His goodness stands approved,
down to the present day;
I'll drop my burden at his feet,
and bear a song away.

Not Haughty Is My Heart
Hymnal: TH1990 #683 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not haughty is my heart,
not lofty is my pride;
I do not seek to know the things
God's wisdom has denied.
2 With childlike trust, O Lord,
in you I calmly rest,
contented as a little child
upon its mother's breast.
3 Ye people of the Lord,
in him alone confide;
from this time forth and evermore
his wisdom be your guide.

My Times Are in Thy Hand
Author: William F. Lloyd Hymnal: TH1990 #684 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My times are in thy hand;
my God, I wish them there;
my life, my friends, my soul, I leave
entirely to thy care.
2 My times are in thy hand,
whatever they may be;
pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
as best may seem to thee.
3 My times are in thy hand;
why should I doubt or fear?
My Father's hand will never cause
his child a needless tear.
4 My times are in thy hand,
Jesus the Crucified;
those hands my cruel sins had pierced
are now my guard and guide.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: TH1990 #685 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
O may thy will be mine;
into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as thine own;
and help me still to say,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
give me thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy Word
let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: TH1990 #686 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
however dark it be!
Lead me by thine own hand,
choose out the path for me;
smooth let it be or rough,
it will be still the best;
winding or straight, it leads
right onward to thy rest.
2 The kingdom that I seek
is thine; so let the way
that leads to it be thine,
else I must surely stray.
I dare not choose my lot;
I would not if I might:
choose thou for me, my God,
so shall I walk aright.
3 Take thou my cup, and it
with joy or sorrow fill
as best to thee may seem;
choose thou my good and ill.
Not mine, not mine the choice
in things or great or small;
be thou my guide, my strength,
my wisdom, and my all.

Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord
Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: TH1990 #687 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqu'ror be;
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure -
it varies with the wind;
it cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My pow'r is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it wants the needed fire to glow,
it wants the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world
until itself be driv'n;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heav'n.
4 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent,
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom I have leaned,
and found in thee its life.

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Have Thine Own Way, Lord!
Author: Adelaide A. Pollard Hymnal: TH1990 #688 (1990) Meter: 9.9.9.9 Lyrics: 1 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter; I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after thy will,
while I am waiting, yielded and still.
2 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.
3 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
4 Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway!
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!

Be Still, My Soul
Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: TH1990 #689 (1990) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Be still, my soul; the Lord is on your side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then shall you better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears.
Be still, my soul: your Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

and ever prays for me;
a token of his love he gives,
a pledge of liberty.

he brings salvation near;
his presence makes me free indeed
and he will soon appear.

who can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
he surely shall fulfil.

you will return and claim me, Lord,
