Thy hope, thy 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: the hour is hastening 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 blessèd we shall meet at last. Topics: Faith and Aspiration; Funerals Scripture: Psalm 46:1 Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA

And by this food, so awesome and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.

Christians, Awake!

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: RITL1985 #197 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn whereon the Savior of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings were begun, of God incarnate and the virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard th'angelic herald's voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth to you and all the nations upon earth; this day hath God fulfilled his promised word; this day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake, and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy unknown before conspire; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heav'n's whole orb with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, "Peace upon earth and unto all good-will." 4 O may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving human-kind. Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved on loss, from his poor manger to his bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace till our first heav'nly state again takes place. 5 Then may we hope th'angelic thrones among to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; he that was born upon that joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, incessant we shall sing eternal praise to heav'n's Almighty King.

Lead Us, O Father, in the Paths of Peace

Author: William H. Burleigh Hymnal: RITL1985 #60 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; without thy guiding hand we go astray, and doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; lead us through Christ, the true and living way. 2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope, while passion stains, and folly dims our youth, and age comes on, uncheered by faith and hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; blindly we stumble when we walk alone, involved in shadows of a dark'ing night; only with thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to thy heav'nly rest, however rough and steep the path may be, through joy or sorrows as thou deemest best, until our lives are perfected in thee.
