In God, My Faithful God

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 25 Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; Great woes may overtake me, Yet He will not forsake me. My troubles He can alter; His hand lets nothing falter. 2 My sins fill me with care, Yet I will not despair. I build on Christ, who loves me; From this rock nothing moves me. To Him I will surrender, To Him, my soul's defender. 3 If death my portion be, It brings great gain to me; It speeds my life's endeavor To live with Christ forever. He gives me joy in sorrow, Come death now or tomorrow. 4 O Jesus Christ, my Lord, So meek in deed and word, You suffered death to save us Because Your love would have us Be heirs of heav'nly gladness When ends this life of sadness. 5 "So be it," then, I say With all my heart each day. Dear Lord, we all adore You, We sing for joy before You. Guide us while here we wander Until we praise You yonder.

Lass ruhn zu deinen Füßen dein schwaches Kind; es will die Augen schließen und folgen blind. 3 Wenn ich auch gar nichts fühle von deiner Macht, du bringst mich doch zum Ziele auch durch die Nacht. So minn denn meine Hände und führe mich bis an mein selig Ende und ewiglich! 1 Take thou my hand and lead me; stay by my side til in thy joy eternal I may abide. Alone I will not wander one single day. Be thou my true companion and with me stay. 2 O cover with thy mercy my poor, weak heart! Let ev’ry thought rebellious from me depart. Permit thy child to linger here at thy feet, and fully trust thy goodness with faith complete. 3 Though naught of thy great power may move my soul, with thee through night and darkness I reach the goal. Take, then, my hand and lead me, stay by my side, and in thy joy eternal I shall abide.

Let mortal tongues attempt to sing

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11 Lyrics: Let mortal tongues attempt to sing The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood Chief general of th' Eternal King, And fought the battles of our God. Against the dragon and his host The armies of the Lord prevail: In vain they rage, in vain they boast, Their courage sinks, their weapons fail. Down to the earth was Satan thrown, Down to the earth his legions fell; Then was the trump of triumph blown, And shook the dreadful deeps of hell. Now is the hour of darkness past, Christ has assum'd his reigning power; Behold the great accuser cast Down from the skies to rise no more. 'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful name They gain'd the battle and renown. Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war, Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high.
