Commit Thou All Thy Griefs
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:19 Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who earth and heav'n commands:
Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wand'ring feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
2 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
No profit canst Thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause; His ear
Attends the softest prayer.
3 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows
What best for each will prove.
And whatsoe'er Thou will'st,
Thou dost, O King of kings!
What Thine unerring wisdom chose,
Thy power to being brings.
4 Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve Thy might;
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsullied light.
When Thou arisest, Lord,
What shall Thy work withstand?
When all Thy children want Thou giv’st,
Who, who shall stay Thy hand?
Amen.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken, contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see,
truth in the inward part;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
courage our fainting souls to keep,
and trust thee though thou slay.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Proper 12 Year A Used With Tune: ST HUGH

"Watch and pray."

Hung the issue of the day;

by morning glow or evening shade
his watchful eye ne'er sleepeth:
within the kingdom of his might
lo, all is just, and all is right:
to God be praise and glory!

I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song

be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body bear your part:
to God be praise and glory!
4 O ye who name Christ's holy name,

Forty Days and Forty Nights
Author: George Hunt Smyttan (1822-1870) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
you were fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 burning heat throughout the day,
bitter cold when light has fled,
prowling beasts around your way,
stones your pillow, earth your bed.
3 Shall not we your trials share,
learn your discipline of will,
and with you by fast and prayer
wrestle with the powers of hell?
4 So if Satan, pressing hard,
soul and body would destroy:
Christ who conquered, be our guard;
give to us the victor's joy.
5 Saviour, may we hear your voice --
keep us constant at your side;
and with you we shall rejoice
at the eternal Eastertide. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Lent (first Sunday); Lent (season) Used With Tune: HEINLEIN Text Sources: rev. Hymns for Today's Church
