Have thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning; Zion still is well beloved; Cease thy mourning: Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee; He Himself appears thy Friend; All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end; Great deliverance Zion's King will surely send; Great deliverance Zion's King will surely send. 4 Enemies no more shall trouble, All thy wrongs shall be redressed; For thy shame thou shalt have double: In thy Maker's favor blessed; All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest; All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest.

Matthew 6:25-34

Author: William Cowper Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:25 First Line: Sometimes a light surprises Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing, But he will bring us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens, Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither, Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Life is the time to serve the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 351 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37 Lyrics: Life is the time to serve the Lord, The time t' insure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. [Life is the hour that God has giv'n To 'scape from hell and fly to heav'n; The day of grace, and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day.] The living know that they must die, But all the dead forgotten lie; Their mem'ry and their sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. [Their hatred and their love is lost, Their envy buried in the dust; They have no share in all that's done Beneath the circuit of the sun.] Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands, with all your might pursue; Since no device nor work is found, Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground. There are no acts of pardon passed In the cold grave, to which we haste; But darkness, death, and long despair, Reign in eternal silence there.

God Is My Strong Salvation

To me his Holy Spirit speaks many a precious word of rest to one who's seeking a refuge in the Lord.
