In Jesus I find rest and peace

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Jesus I find rest and peace The world is full of sorrow; His wounds are my abiding-place; Let the unknown tomorrow Bring what it may, There I can stay, My faith finds all I need today, I will not trouble borrow. 2 Until I found that crystal spring, My way was dull and dreary; I looked for peace in many a thing; But still my soul grew weary. Unsatisfied, All things I tried, And yet my soul had not espied The fount of life so near me. 3 My soul was carnal, blind, and bound By sin, and never sought Thee, Lord Jesus, though I ever found All else no comfort brought me, No peace, no rest Within my breast; My troubled soul remained unblest, Of Thee I ne'er bethought me. 4 In pity, then, Thou cam'st to me, Thine arms to me extending; I heard Thy voice: Come unto me And rest in peace unending. Immanuel Loves thee full well, He saves thy soul from death and hell, In perils thee defending. 5 O Jesus, I must now confess The world hath but vexation And anguish, sorrow, dire distress, As is Thy declaration. In Thee is peace And sweet surcease; Thy bosom is my resting-place Where I find consolation. 6 To me the preaching of the cross Is wisdom everlasting; Thy death alone redeems my loss; On Thee my burden casting, I, in Thy name, A refuge claim From sin and death and from all shame-- Blest be Thy name, O Jesus! 7 O Jesus, may I constant be, Forever with Thee staying! O may I feel love's mastery, My every fear allaying! The dove at last Hath found sweet rest From all her weary, futile quest, Although she long went straying.

As God doth lead me I will go

Author: L. Gedicke Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 As God doth lead me I will go; I do not ask to choose my way; Content with what He doth bestow, Assured He will not let me stray. So as He leads, My path I make, And step by step I gladly take, A child in Him confiding. 2 As God doth lead I am content; I rest me calmly in His hands; That which He has decreed and sent-- That which His will for me commands, I would that He should all fulfill: That I should do His gracious will In living or in dying. 3 As God doth lead I all resign; I trust me to my Father's will; When reason's rays deceptive shine, His counsel would I yet fulfill-- That which His love ordained as right, Before He bought me to the light,-- My all to Him resigning. 4 As God doth lead me I abide, In faith, in hope, is suffering true; His strength is ever by my side-- Can aught my hold on Him undo? So patiently i wait and know That God, who doth my life bestow, In kindness all is sending. 5 As God doth lead I onward go, Though oft 'mid thorns and briers keen; God does not yet His guidance show-- But in the end it shall be seen How, by a loving Father's will, Faithful and true, He leads me still,-- Thus anchored, faith is resting.

We are naught, Sin hath brought, Lord, Thy wrath upon us, Yet have mercy on us! 2 Show me now a Father's love, And His tender patience, Heal my wounded soul, remove These too sore temptations; I am weak, Father, speak Thou of peace and gladness, Comfort Thou my sadness. 3 Weary am I of my pain, Weary with my sorrow, Sighing still for help in vain, Longing for the morrow; Why wilt Thou Tarry now? Wilt Thou friendless leave me, And of hope bereave me? 4 Hence, ye foes! He comes in grace, God hath deigned to hear me; I may come before His face, He is inly near me; He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished In whose bonds I languished. 5 Father, hymns to Thee we raise, Here and once in heaven! And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven! Evermore We adore Thee whose grace hath stirred us, And whose pity heard us.

I walk in danger all the way

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; The thought shall never leave me, That Satan, who has marked his prey, Is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares May seize me unawares If e'er I fail to watch and pray: I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, With sin and ills contending; In patience I must bear each day The cross of God's own sending; Oft in adversity I know not where to flee; When storms of woe my soul dismay, I pass through trials all the way. 3 Death doth pursue me all the way, Nowhere I rest securely, He comes by night, he comes by day, He takes his prey most surely; A failing breath--and I In death's strong grasp may lie To face eternity for aye: Death doth pursue me all the way. 4 I walk 'mongst angels all the way They shield me and befriend me; All Satan's power is held at bay When heavenly hosts attend me; They are my sure defense, All fear and sorrow hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk 'mongst angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way, His guidance never fails me, Within His wounds I find a stay, When Satan's power assails me; And by His footsteps led, My path I safely tread. In spite of ills that threaten may, I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heavenward all the way, Await, my soul, the morrow, When thou shalt find release for aye From all thy sin and sorrow; All worldly pomp, begone, To heaven I now press on; For all the world I would not stay, My walk is heavenward all the way.

From place to place the Christian goes

Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From place to place the Christian goes, By many a tempest driven, At last the haven of repose He safely finds in heaven. God, after life's alarms, Receives him in His arms. He dies, as in the mold the grain, To yield its golden fruit again. 2 And sure thy parting has been blessed, Bless'd be thy life's example! Thou spirit, calmly gone to rest, And thou, its mouldering temple. O soul, thy Savior's near! The morning star shines clear; And you, ye members, softly sleep Beneath love's shadow still and deep. 3 We wait with glad and patient hope The glorious revelation, While He this pilgrim dress folds up In holy preservation. O happy souls who rest In Jesus' arms and breast. Love leads us all our path aright, Through such a depth to such a height.

In God, my Savior

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In God, my Savior, I put my trust alone; His word and favor My help in need I own; My life I tender, And all I have as well, In full surrender To Thee, who grace I tell, My soul's befriender, My God, Immanuel. 2 The loss sin wrought me, Through Satan's wiles, O Lord, Thou, who hast bought me, Hast all by grace restored: My thanks I render, Myself to Thee I yield, My Savior tender, My rock, my sun and shield, My soul's defender, On Thee my hopes I build. 3 Keep me Thy servant, Let me obey Thee, Lord, In spirit fervent, According to Thy word; When doth forsake me The frowning world for aye, And sufferings shake me, Grant patience, be my stay, Until thou take me From this ill world away. 4 My consolation Thou art in every need, For my salvation Thou on the cross didst bleed; In heaven dwelling, I shall, when past all pain, Thy praise be telling, O Lamb for sinners slain! When, anthems swelling, I sing the angels' strain. 5 O faithful Savior, My sweetest rest and stay! O let me never From Thee in darkness stray! My soul deliver, And guide Thy weary dove, By grace and favor, Home to the place I love-- My home forever-- Jerusalem above. 6 There, past life's sadness, 'Tis good to be at rest, In joy and gladness, With saints forever blest; Lord, let me ever Walk in Thy faith and fear, That, past death's river, I may Thy welcome hear: "Come, blest forever, Come in, my servant dear!"

Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures

Author: H. A. Brorson; J. Scheffler Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures, And keep thy joys far from my sight; In thee and in thy tempting treasure My soul no longer finds delight. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 2 He is my glory and my treasure, My wisdom and my soul's delight, In Him I find my sweetest pleasure And all my comfort day and night. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 3 In weakness He my strength abideth, He comforts me, when sad my lot; In gloom of death He light provideth, In death as life He fails me not. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 4 He rules on high, His throne shall never Like earthy empires pass away, His kingdom stands and grows forever, Till all creation owns His sway. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 5 He is the fairest--all excelling-- He whom the world refused to know, His riches are beyond all telling, And these He doth on me bestow. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 6 Now let me be despised, forsaken, And in a humble state remain, Soon I to glory shall be taken, And with my Savior ever reign. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone.
