What Cheering Words are These!

Author: John Kent Hymnal: HOoS1926 #481 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternal days, "’Tis with the righteous well." 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endure, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise; ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying Love: And ’tis as well in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls, "From earth and sin arise, Join with the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise." Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Trinity, Eighteenth Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: HOLBORN

How Happy Is the Man Who Hears

Let, O My Soul, Thy God Direct Thee

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Georg Neumark; Claude W. Foss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #484 (1926) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let, O my soul, thy God direct thee, And trust in Him through all thy days; In every danger He'll protect thee, And crown thy years with peace and grace. He doth not build upon the sand Who trusts in God's almighty hand. 2 Of what avail is all our sorrow? What profit all our sighs and tears? Why should we grieve for each to-morrow? Why thus begin and end our years? Our sighs and sorrows but increase Our burdens, and disturb our peace. 3 Be still, in faith and hope abiding, Trust in thy God and be content; In His unfailing love confiding, Take what His gracious hand hath sent; To God who chose thee as His own Thy every need and care is known. 4 The time to comfort thee He knoweth, He giveth thee whate'er is best; The prayer that from thy bosom goeth He heareth ere it is expressed. With gifts He cometh unawares In answer to thy fervent prayers. 5 Think not when tried and tempest-driven, Thou art forsaken by thy God; For those who are the heirs of heaven Must pass beneath the chastening rod. The night of weeping may ere long Be changed into the morn of song. 6 What does it cost the Lord Almighty To raise the humble and the low? Or to abase the high and mighty, And cause their utter overthrow? For He whose wonders none can trace, He lifteth up, He doth abase. 7 Walk in His truth, be firm and fearless, And do thy duty day by day; Trust in His Word when sad and cheerless, Make it thy comfort and thy stay. The Lord thy God thy refuge make And He will never thee forsake. Amen.

Thou Hidden Love of God, Whose Height

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen Hymnal: HOoS1926 #485 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of ev'ry motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 3 O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favorite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say "I am thy Love, thy God, thy All!" To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice! Amen.

O Jesus, Source of Calm Repose

Author: Johann Anastasius Freylinghausen Hymnal: HOoS1926 #486 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Source of calm repose, Thy like no man nor angel knows, Fairest among ten thousand fair! E'en those whom death's sad fetters bound, Whom thickest darkness compassed round, Find light and life, if Thou appear. 2 Renew Thine image, Lord, in me, Lowly and gentle may I be; No charms but these are to Thee dear: No anger may'st Thou ever find, No pride, in my unruffled mind, But faith and heaven-born peace, be there. 3 A patient, a victorious mind That life and all things cast behind, Springs forth obedient to Thy call, A heart that no desire can move, But still to praise, believe, and love, Give me, my Lord, my Life, my All!

Berg Hymnal: HOoS1926 #487 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Children of the heav'nly Father Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly Father Safely in His bosom gather; Nestling bird nor star in heaven Such a refuge e'er was given. 2 God His own doth tend and nourish: In His holy courts they flourish; From all evil things He spares them, In His mighty arms He bears them. 3 Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord His children sever; Unto them His grace He showeth, And their sorrows all He knoweth. 4 Lo, their very hairs He numbers, And no daily care encumbers Them that share His every blessing, And His help in woes distressing. 5 Praise the Lord in joyful numbers: Your Protector never slumbers. At the will of your Defender Every foeman must surrender. 6 Though He giveth or He taketh, God His children ne'er forsaketh, His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure and holy. Amen.

O Christ, Thy love Unbounded

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #489 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Thy love unbounded, So full, so sweet, so free, Leaves all our thoughts confounded, Whene'er we think of Thee. For us Thou cam'st from heaven, For us didst bleed and die, That, ransomed and forgiven, We might ascend on high. 2 We know that Thou hast bought us, And washed us in Thy blood: We know Thy grace hath brought us As kings and priests to God. We know the blessèd morning, Long looked for, draweth near, When we, at Thy returning, In glory shall appear. 3 O let Thy love constrain us To give our hearts to Thee; Let nothing please or pain us, Apart, O Lord, for Thee; Our joy, our one endeavor, Through suffering, conflict, shame, To serve Thee, gracious Saviour, And magnify Thy Name.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, (1672-1737) Hymnal: HOoS1926 #490 (1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine! Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign; Thro' sorrow or thro' joy, Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, "My Lord, Thy will be done!" 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me Thy people’s bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of Thy word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, Thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear: Since Thou on earth hast wept And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly, And leaning on Thee, go Where Thou before hast gone,-- The rest as Thou shalt please; My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done. Amen.
