What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe
Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #629 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Adversity, rejoicing in; Rejoicing in Adversity Languages: English
What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe
Naked as from the Earth we came
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.V (1766) Topics: Prosperity and Adversity Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the Earth we came,
And crept to Life at first,
We to the Earth return again,
And mingle with our Dust.
2 The dear Delights we here enjoy,
And fondly call our own,
Are but short Favours borrow'd Now,
To be repaid Anon.
3 'Tis God that lifts our Comforts high,
Or sinks them in the Grave,
He gives, and (blessed by his Name)
He takes but what he gave.
4 Peace, all our angry Passions, then
Let each rebellious Sigh
Be silent at his Sov'reign Will,
And ev'ry Murmur die.
5 If smiling Mercy crown our Lives,
Its Praises shall be spread,
And we'll adore the Justice too
That strikes our Comforts dead. Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English

Beside the Great Cathedrals
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #25 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Beside the great cathedrals
we huddle in the rain,
or underneath the bridges
till busy folks complain.
We seek a little shelter,
a coin to buy some bread,
and Jesus waits here with us.
He shares our stony bed.
2 He sings on city sidewalks,
he sits on curbs alone,
he holds a sign and listens
for footsteps on the stone.
He sings down by the river,
a spiritual, a blues,
with mothers and with fathers
who pay no union dues.
3 Friend, have you seen him naked,
in prison, or in pain,
and have you seen him shivering
with us out in the rain?
Friend, have you seen him sleeping
outside cathedral doors,
and have you heard him singing
with those the world ignores?
4 Sit down with us and listen
to stories we can tell
of death and resurrection,
of heaven and of hell.
Then strive to love the beggars
who gather at your door,
and see in us our Savior,
the rabbi of the poor. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARTRES STREET

strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

gives unto each day what he deems best–
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Every day the Lord Himself is near me
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares He gladly bears and cheers me,
He whose name is Counselor and Power.

is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me He made.
3 Help me then in every tribulation
so to trust Your promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
offered me within Your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
till I reach the promised land. Languages: English Tune Title: BLOTT EN DAG

the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid its rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.

upon the chaos wild and rude,
and bid its angry tumult cease,
and gave, for fierce confusion, peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and power,
all travelers guard in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them whereso'er they go:
thus evermore shall rise to thee
glad praise from air and land and sea. Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA
