If Thou But Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Matching Instances: 100 Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee and hope in him through all thy ways, he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, and bear thee through the evil days; who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the rock that nought can move. 2 Only be still, and wait his leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure and all-discerning love hath sent; nor doubt our inmost wants are known to him who chose us for his own. 3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving, so do thine own part faithfully, and trust his Word; though undeserving. Thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never yet forsook at need the soul that trusted him indeed.

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom, finding one wiser than they knew; rich men, they met with one yet richer — King of the kings, they knelt to you: Jesus, our wisdom from above, wealth and redemption, life and love. 2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries, searching for one who knows the world; lost are their names, and strange their journeys, famed is their zeal to find the child: Jesus, in you the lost are claimed, strangers are found, and known, and named. 3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendour, led by a star to light supreme; promised Messiah, Lord eternal, glory and peace are in your name. Joy of each day, our song by night, shine on our path your holy light. 4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures, incense and gold and solemn myrrh, welcoming one too young to question how came these gifts, and what they were. Gift beyond price of gold or gem, make among us your Bethlehem.

I Leave All Things to God's Direction

Author: Salomo Franck, 1659-1725; August Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 I leave all things to God's direction, For he loves me in wealth or woe; His will is good, and his affection, His tender love is true, I know. My strength, my fortress rock is he: What pleases God, that pleases me. 2 My God has all things in his keeping, He is my ever faithful friend; He gives me laughter after weeping, And all his ways in blessing end. His love endures eternally: What pleases God, that pleases me. 3 The will of God shall be my pleasure While here I live life's interim; My will is wrong beyond all measure, It does not will what pleases him. The Christian's motto then must be: What pleases God, that pleases me. 4 God knows what must be done to save me, His love for me will never cease; And all my sins my Lord forgave me With purest gold of loving grace. His will supreme must ever be: What pleases God, that pleases me. 5 My God desires each soul's salvation, My soul he too desires to save; Therefore with Christian resignation All earthly troubles I will brave. His will be done eternally: What pleases God, that pleases me. Topics: Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

By Grace I Am an Heir of Heaven

Author: Christian L. Scheidt; H. Brueckner Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 By grace I am an heir of heaven: why doubt this, O my trembling heart? If what the Scriptures promise clearly is true and firm in ev'ry part, this also must be truth divine: by grace a crown of life is mine. 2 By grace alone shall I inherit that blissful home beyond the skies. Works count for naught, the Lord incarnate hath won for me the heav'nly prize. Salvation by his death he wrought, his grace alone my pardon bought. 3 By grace! These precious words remember when sorely by thy sins oppressed, when Satan comes to vex thy spirit, when troubled conscience sighs for rest; what reason cannot comprehend, God doth to thee by grace extend. 4 By grace! Be this in death my comfort; despite my fears, 'tis well with me. I know my sin in all its greatness, but also him who sets me free. My heart to naught but joy gives place since I am saved by grace, by grace.

Author: Caspar J. Boye; Oluf H. Smeby Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: "Abide with us, the day is waning" Lyrics: 1 "Abide with us, the day is waning," Thus prayed the two while on the way; We read that Thou, O Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay. Incline Thine ear, Thou King of Grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, O Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heav'nly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness, Be Thou our Solace, Strength, and Stay. Tell of Thy woe, Thy vict'ry won, When Thou didst pray: "Thy will be done." 4 Abide with us, O Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend. The shield of faith do Thou bestow When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy. While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
