Give to the Winds Thy Fears

Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 517 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own His way, How wise, how strong His hand! 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Amen. Topics: Assurance; Christ Guide; Commitment; Courage; Faith; Trust; Life in Christ Faith and Assurance Scripture: Psalm 34:4 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

O'erwhelmed in Depths of Woe

Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O’erwhelmed in depths of woe, Upon the tree of scorn, Hangs the Redeemer of mankind, With racking anguish torn. 2. See how the nails those hands And feet so tender rend; See down His face, and neck, and breast His sacred blood descend. 3. Oh, hear that last, loud cry Which pierced His mother’s heart, As into God the Father’s hands He bade His soul depart. 4. Earth hears, and trembling quakes Around that tree of pain; The rocks are rent; the graves are burst; The veil is rent in twain. 5. Shall man alone be mute? Have we no griefs, or fears? Come, old and young, come, all mankind, And bathe those feet in tears. 6. Come, fall before His cross, Who shed for us His blood, Who died, the victim of pure love, To make us sons of God. 7. Jesu, all praise to Thee, Our joy and endless rest; Be Thou our guide while pilgrims here, Our crown amid the blest. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Roman Breviary, 1827; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849

When sorrow and remorse

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When sorrow and remorse Prey at my heart, to Thee I look, who on the holy cross Was sacrificed for me. 2 Thy passion, Lord, inspires My spirit day by day, That I from all low, dark desires Have strength to flee away. 3 Whate'er the burden be, The cross upon me laid, Or want or shame, I look to Thee: Be Thou, O Christ, my aid. 4 And let Thy sorrows cheer My soul when I depart: Give strength to cast away all fear, Console, sustain my heart. 5 Since Thou hast died for me, Help me to trust Thy grace, That Thou wilt take me up to Thee, Where I shall see Thy face.

Forever with the Lord!

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, And immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, The golden gates appear. 4 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Then, then I feel that He, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me, Though I perceive Him not. 6 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.
