With Joy We Own Thy Servant, Lord

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:7 Lyrics: 1 With joy we own thy servant, Lord, Thy minister below, Ordained to spread thy truth abroad, That all thy name may know. 2 O may he now, and ever, keep His eye intent on thee; Do thou, great Shepherd of the sheep, His bright example be. 3 With plenteous grace his heart prepare To execute thy will; And give him patience, love and care, And faithfulness and skill. 4 Inflame his mind with ardent zeal, Thy flock to feed and teach: And let him live, and let him feel, The truths he’s called to preach. 5 As show'rs refresh the thirsty plain, So let his labors prove: By him extend thy righteous reign— The reign of truth and love.

What is the world to me! 2 The world seeks after wealth and all that money offers, yet never is content though gold should fill its coffers. I have a higher good, content with it I'll be; my Jesus is my wealth. What is the world to me! 3 The world is like a cloud and like a vapor fleeting, a shadow that declines, swift to its end retreating. My Jesus shall remain, though all things fade and flee, my everlasting rock. What is the world to me! 4 What is the world to me! My Jesus is my treasure, my life, my health, my wealth, my friend, my love, my pleasure, my joy, my crown, my all, my bliss eternally. Once more then I declare: What is the world to me!

What God ordains is always good

Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1703 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:5-6 Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good: his will is just and holy. As he directs my life for me I follow meek and lowly. My God indeed in every need knows well how he will shield me; to him, then, I will yield me. 2 What God ordains is always good: he never will deceive me; he leads me in his own right way, and never will he leave me. I take content what he has sent; his hand that sends me sadness will turn my tears to gladness. 3 What God ordains is always good: his loving thought attends me; no poison can be in the cup that my physician sends me. My God is true; each morning new I trust his grace unending, my life to him commending. 4 What God ordains is always good: he is my friend and father; he will not let me come to harm though many storms may gather. Now I may know both joy and woe; some day I shall see clearly that he has loved me dearly. 5 What God ordains is always good: this truth remains unshaken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, I shall not be forsaken. I fear no harm, for with his arm he shall embrace and shield me; so to my God I yield me.
