O God, My Faithful God

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God, true fountain ever flowing, without whom nothing is, all perfect gifts bestowing: give me a healthy frame, and may I have within a conscience free from blame, a soul unstained by sin. 2 Give me the strength to do with ready heart and willing whatever you command, my calling here fulfilling. Help me do what I should in all that comes my way; I know that you are good, you bless those who obey. 3 Keep me from saying words that later need recalling; guard me lest idle speech may from my lips be falling; but when within my place I must and ought to speak, then to my words give grace lest I offend the weak. 4 When dangers gather round, O keep me calm and fearless; help me to bear the cross when life seems dark and cheerless. Help me, as you have taught, to love both great and small, and by your Spirit's might to live at peace with all.

What Is the World to Me

Author: G. M. Pferfferkorn, 1645-1732; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure When Thou, and Thou alone, Lord Jesus, art my Treasure! Thou only, dearest Lord, My soul's Delight shalt be; Thou art my Peace, my Rest. What is the world to me! 2 The world is like a cloud And like a vapor fleeting, A shadow that declines, Swift to its end retreating. My Jesus doth abide, Though all things fade and flee; My everlasting Rock. What is the world to me! 3 The world seeks to be praised And honored by the mighty, Yet never once reflects That they are frail and flighty. But what I truly prize Above all things is He, My Jesus, He alone. What is the world to me! 4 The world seeks after wealth And all that Mammon offers, Yet never is content Though gold should fill it coffers. I have a higher good, Content with it I'll be: My Jesus is my Wealth. What is the world to me! 5 The world is sorely grieved Whenever it is slighted Or when its hollow fame And honor have been blighted. Christ, Thy reproach I bear Long as it pleaseth Thee; I'm honored by my Lord. What is the world to me! 6 The world with wanton pride Exalts its sinful pleasures And for them foolishly Gives up the heav'nly treasures. Let others love the world With all its vanity; I love the Lord, my God. What is the world to me! 7 The world abideth not; Lo, like a flash 'twill vanish; With all its gorgeous pomp Pale death it cannot banish; Its riches pass away, And all its joys must flee; But Jesus doth abide. What is the world to me! 8 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! Topics: Trinity 9 Used With Tune: WAS FRAG ICH NACH DER WELT

Now, IsraeI, look on Him Who long thy heart hath thrilled; Hear Zion's watchmen cry: Now are the days fulfilled. 3 Now are the days fulfilled, The child of God rejoices; No bondage of the Law, No curses that it voices, Can fill our hearts with fear; On Christ our hope we build. Behold the Prince of Peace-- Now are the days fulfilled. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Scripture: Galatians 4:4 Used With Tune: WAS FRAG' ICH NACH DER WELT
