Delight in God's house and confidence in him
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my Light Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my light,
What danger shall my soul affright?
Strength of my life! what arm shall dare
To hurt whom thou hast own'd thy care?
2 One wish, with holy transport warm,
My heart has form'd, and yet shall form;
One gift I ask; that to my end
Fair Sion's dome I may attend;
3 There joyful find a sure abode,
And view the beauty of my God;
For he within his hallow'd shrine
My secret refuge shall assign.
4 When thou with condescending grace,
Hast bid me seek thy shining face,
My heart reply'd to thy kind word,
Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord.
5 Should every earthly friend depart,
And nature leave a parent's heart;
My God, on whom my hopes depend,
Will be my father and my friend.
6 Ye humble souls, in every strait
On God with sacred courage wait;
His hand shall life and strength afford,
O ever wait upon the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English
Delight in God's house and confidence in him
Confidence in God
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #265 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Our Father, thron'd above the sky Lyrics: 1 Our Father, thron'd above the sky,
To thee our empty hands we spread;
Thy children at thy footstool lie,
And ask thy blessings on their head.
2 With cheerful hope and filial fear,
In that august and precious name,
By thee ordain'd, we now draw near,
And would the promis'd blessing claim.
3 Does not an earthly parent hear
The cravings of his famish'd son?
Will he reject the filial pray'r,
Or mock him with a cake of stone?
4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more
Will thy divine compassions rise;
And open thy unbounded store,
To satisfy thy children's cries?
5 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press
For gracious audience at thy seat;
Still hoping, waiting for success,
If persevering to entreat.
6 For Jesus in his faithful word
The upright supplicant has blest;
And all thy saints with one accord
The prevalence of pray'r attest. Languages: English
Confidence in God
Trust and confidence; or, looking beyond present appearances
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear!
Let fear to me no more take place!
My savior doth not yet appear,
He hides the brightness of his face:
But shall I therefore let him go,
And basely to the tempter yield?
No, in the strength of Jesus no!
I never will give up the shield.
2 Altho' the vine its fruits deny,
Altho' the olive yield no oil,
The withering fig-tree droop and die,
The field illude the tiller's toil;
The empty stall no herd afford,
And perish all the bleating race;
Yet I will triumph in the Lord,
The God of my salvation praise.
3 Away, each unbelieving fera,
Let Fear to cheering hope give place;
My Savior will at length appear,
And shew the brightness of his face:
Tho now my prospects all be crost,
My blooming hopes cut off I see,
Still will I in my Jesus trust,
Whose boundless love can reach to me.
4 In hope, believing against hope,
His promis'd mercy will I claim,
His gracious word shall bear me up,
To seek salvation in his name:
Sure, my dear Savior, bring it nigh!
My soul shall then outstrip the wind,
On wings of love mount up on high,
And leave the world and sin behind.
Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Languages: English

What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defense,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Tho' thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Tho' billows after billows roll,
To overwhelm my sinking soul;
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand,
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life, his presence is my aid;
In death, 'twill guide me thro' the shade;
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day. Languages: English

Glorying in God alone
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #271 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: The righteous Lord, supremely great Lyrics: 1 The righteous Lord, supremely great,
Maintains his universal state;
O'er all the earth his pow'r extends,
All heav'n before his footstool bends.
2 Yet justice still with pow'r presides,
And mercy all his empire guides;
Such works are pleasing in his sight,
And such the men of his delight.
3 No more, ye wise, your wisdom boast;
No more, ye strong, your valor trust;
Nor let the rich survey their store,
Replete with heaps of shining ore.
4 Glory, my soul, in this alone,
That God, thy God, to thee is known;
That thou hast own'd his sov'reign sway,
That thou hast felt his cheering ray.
5 My wisdom, wealth, and pow'r I find
In one Jehovah all combin'd.
On him I fix my roving eyes,
Till all thy soul in rapture rise.
6 All else which I my treasure call,
May in one fatal moment fall:
But what his happiness can move,
Whom God the blessed deigns to love? Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23-24 Languages: English
Glorying in God alone
Sometimes a light surprises
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #368 (1870) Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord, Who rises
With healing in His wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new:
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing,
Will clothe His people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread.
4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree
Its wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
Yis praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Languages: English

To mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
2 Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts be hurl'd:
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
3 Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall:
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heav'n, my all!
4 There I shall bathe my weary soul
In seas of heav;nly rest;
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast. Languages: English

In every act appear.

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #361 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims
His various and His saving names;
Oh, may they not be heard alone,
But by our sure experience known.
2 Awake, our noblest powers, to bless
The God of Abra'm, God of peace;
Now by a dearer title known,
Father and God of Christ His Son.
3 Through ev'ry age His gracious ear
Is open to His servants' prayer;
Nor can one humble soul complain
That it hath sought its God in vain.
4 What unbelieving heart shall dare,
In whispers to suggest a fear,
While still He owns His ancient name,
The same His power, His love the same.
5 To Thee our souls in faith arise,
To Thee we lift expecting eyes,
And boldly through the desert tread;
For God will guard, where God shall lead. Languages: English
