The Will of God Is Always Best
Author: Albrecht von Preussen, 1490-1568 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:5 Lyrics: 1 The will of God is always best
and shall be done forever;
and they who trust in him are blest;
he will forsake them never.
He helps indeed in time of need;
he chastens with forbearing.
They who depend on God, their friend,
shall not be left despairing.
2 God is my comfort and my trust,
my hope and life abiding;
and to his counsel, wise and just,
I yield, in him confiding.
The very hairs, his Word declares,
upon my head he numbers.
By night and day God is my stay;
he never sleeps nor slumbers.
3 Lord, this I ask, O hear my plea,
deny me not this favor:
when Satan sorely troubles me,
then do not let me waver.
O guard me well, my fear dispel,
fulfill your faithful saying:
all who believe by grace receive
an answer to their praying.
4 When life's brief course on earth is run
and I this world am leaving,
grant me to say, "Your will be done,"
your faithful Word believing.
My heav'nly Friend, I now commend
my soul into your keeping,
o'er sin and hell and death as well
in you the vict'ry reaping.

In manus tuas, Pater
Erbarm' Dich mein, o Herre Gott!
Author: Erhard Hegenwald Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 Lyrics: 1 Erbarm' Dich mein o Herre Gott!
nach Deiner groß'n Barmherzigkeit,
wasch' ab mach' rein mein' Missethat,
ich kenn' mein' Sünd' und ist mir leid;
allein ich Dir gesündigt hab',
das ist wider mich stetiglich;
das Bös' vor Dir mag nicht bestahn,
Du bleibst gerecht, ob Du urtheilest mich.
2 Sieh, Herr, in Sünd' bin ich gebor'n,
in Sünd' empfing mich mein' Mutter;
die Wahrheit liebst, thust offenbarn
Deiner weisheit heimlich' Güter.
Bespreng mich Herr! mit Yfopo;
rein werd' ich, so Du wäschest mich,
weißer den Schnee; mein Gehör wird
froh, all' mein Gebein' wird freuen sich.
3 Herr! sich nicht an die Sünde mein,
thu' ab all' Ungerechtigkeit,
und mach' in mir das herze rein,
ein'n neuen Geist in mir bereit'.
Verwirf mich nicht von Dein'm Angesicht,
Dein'n heil'gen Geist wend' nicht von mir:
die Freud' Dein's Heils, Herr, zu mir richt,
der willig' Geist enthalt mich Dir.
4 Die Gottlos'n will ich Deine Weg',
die Sünder auch dazu lehren,
daß sie vom bösen falschen Steg;
zu Dir durch Dich sich bekehren.
Beschirm' mich, Herr, mein's Heils ein Gott,
vor dem Urtheil durch's Blut bedeut't.
Mein' Zung' verkünd't Dein recht's Gebot;
schaff, daß mein Mund Dein Lob ausbreit'.
5 Kein leiblich Opfer von mir heisch'st,
ich hätt' Dir das auch gegeben;
so nimm nun den zerknirschten Geist,
betrübt's und traurig's Herz daneben;
verschmäh nicht, Gott, das Opfer mein,
thu' wohl in Deiner Gütigkeit
dem Berg Zion, da Christen sein,
die opfern Dir Gerechtigkeit.

A Prayer in Song
Author: W. M. Wolcott Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:3 First Line: Savior, Thou art life to me Lyrics: 1 Savior, Thou art life to me,
Guard me by Thy watchful eye;
Ever by Thy Spirit be
Thou a guide to worlds on high.
Hide me from the storms of life;
Keep me from the tempter’s snare;
And while here ’mid toil and strife,
Let me cast on Thee my care.
2 Help me, Lord, to faithful be,
Give me grace to do Thy will;
That through all eternity,
Holy love my soul may thrill.
For though blest by worldly store,
Sanctioned by the creeds of men;
Jesus says, “I am the door,”—
He alone can save from sin.
3 Teach me from Thy blessed Word
Lessons precious to my soul;
Help me understand it, Lord,
By it make and keep me whole.
By Thy Word we stand or fall,
By Thy Word we live or die;
If in part and not by all,
Then we make His word a lie.
4 Oh, Thou art my refuge here,
All my hopes are built on Thee;
From all sin and slavish fear
Jesus makes me fully free.
So when all my toils are o’er,
Let me gain that blest abode;
And with loved ones gone before,
Ever dwell with me, my God. Used With Tune: [Savior, Thou art life to me] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/A_Prayer_in_Song); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (281); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (388)

All along the way, with Thy Spirit fill!

We may for the Master seed eternal sow;
When the angels gather in the golden grain,
We shall see our labor was not spent in vain. [Refrain]

We may mark our path with loving, helpful deeds,
Cheering other hearts while busy days go by,

Savior, Lead Me
Author: Charles E. Orr Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:3 First Line: I do not pray that life be spent Lyrics: 1 I do not pray that life be spent
On flow’ry beds of ease;
I only pray that Christ may guide
Across the stormy seas.

Along my pilgrim way;

My footsteps lest I stray.

And guide my trembling feet,
For Thee, O Christ, I’ll gladly drink
The bitter with the sweet.
4 What though my life be peace or pain,
’Twill only soon be o’er;
I want to walk the way that leads
To heav’n’s eternal shore.

The Faithful Pilot
Author: Laura E. Newell Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:3 First Line: I am nearing scenes celestial Refrain First Line: He is faithful who hath promised Lyrics: 1 I am nearing scenes celestial,
And rejoicing I go,
To the smiling fields of Eden,
Bliss immortal to know,
There is one who ever guides me,
In His love all the way,
Oh! no evil shall betide me,
And I never will stray.
Refrain:
He is faithful who hath promised,
Still my Pilot to be,
He will bear me over Jordan,
Where His beauty I’ll see.
2 Thro’ the distance to His palace,
In the morn seemed so long,
Now, as twilight closes ‘round me,
On I journey with song,
When the glory of my Savior
Is revealed to my sight,
I shall join the heav’nly chorus,
In the mansions of light. [Refrain]
3 Lo! I will be with you alway,
I will never forsake,
Saith the Lord, till in my likeness,
Ye with joy shall awake.
Where the tree of life is vernal,
Ever blooming and fair,
And where songs of praise eternal,
Float on heaven’s balmy air. [Refrain]
4 I am waiting, I am longing,
For the bright, golden day,
When His blessed voice shall call me
To that land far away.
And while here He bids me tarry,
Let me toil as I roam,
Till beyond the clouds and sorrows,
I shall praise Him at home. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I am nearing scenes celestial]
