O Faithful God, Thanks Be To Thee
Author: C. H. L. Schuette; Nic. Selnecker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee,
That Thou forgiv'st iniquity
And helpest me in sin's distress,
And dost my soul and body bless.
2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me:
My child, thy sin's forgiven thee!
Depart in peace, and sin no more
And e'er my pard'ning grace adore.
3 We bless The wondrous grace, O Lord,
Who pardon grantest through Thy Word;
We now enjoy the heav'nly good
Through Jesus' holy, precious blood.
4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give,
Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Penitence Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

For Patience in Great Sorrow
Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Ah! faithful God, compass'nate heart Lyrics:
Ah! faithful God, compass'nate heart,
Whose goodness never endeth,
I know this bitter cross and smart
Thy hand it is that sendeth!
Yea, Lord, I know this burden great
Thou sendest not in wrath and hate,
But ’tis in love appointed.
That ever is Thy way all-wise,
Thy child in woe must languish,
Thou whom Thou lovest, dost chastise,
’Fore joy Thou sendest anguish,
Sink’st us to hell, in woe we lie,
And raisest us again on high,
Thus with us fares it always.
Thou ever leadest wondrously
Thy children dear who please Thee!
Would I have life? Then first must I
E’en down to death abase me.
In honour who’d be raised on high,
He self-abas’d on earth must lie
As worthless dust and ashes.
On earth, Lord, Thy belovèd Son
Such sorrow had to try Him;
Ere He could reach His glorious throne
Ill men must crucify Him.
He pass’d through trouble, need, and woe,
Nor shrunk He from death’s cruel blow,
To reach the joys of heaven.
Did then Thy good and holy Son
Himself for us deliver,
And I enslavèd, sinful one,
Shall I resist Thee ever?
Of patience aye the glass is He,
And who His face desires to see
Must in His footsteps follow.
How is it reason finds it hard,
The truth so oft rejecteth,
That Thou with favour dost regard
E’en while Thy hand afflicteth?
How long doth oft the cross remain,
How hardly can we love and pain
Then reconcile together.
God of the Church! when fails my pow’r,
Strength graciously then give me;
And grant that nought in trial’s hour
Of faith may e’er deprive me.
Uphold me by Thy might, O Lord,
Establish me then in Thy word,
From murmuring deliver!
When I am weak, be Thou my stay,
In faithfulness be near me,
That I continually may pray,
And call on Thee to hear me.
While yet a heart hopes and believes,
And still in pray’r unceasing lives,
Bold is it, and unvanquish’d.
In measure, Lord, apply the rod,
Lest I sink altogether;
Thou know’st how I can bear the load,
How life’s imperill’d ever,
For neither steel nor stone am I,
But sooner pass away and die,
E’en than a fleeting vapour.
Ah! Jesus, who did’st stoop so low,
Thy blood shed, life that giveth,
The bitter cross full well dost know,
And how the spirit grieveth
When cross and heavy woe combine,
So wilt Thou hear each cry of mine,
When bitterly complaining.
I know Thou feelest sympathy
When want and woe distress me,
That Thou with help wilt visit me,
And graciously wilt bless me.
Ah! strengthen Thou my feeble hand,
And lead my feet where I may stand
In safety—Come and save me!
Speak courage to my fainting heart,
With comfort, Lord, support me.
Of weary souls the Rest Thou art,
My Tow’r, where none can hurt me!
My Rock, where from the sun I hide,
My Tent, where safely I abide
When storms without are raging!
And as in love, while here I dwell,
Thou suff’ring hast decreed me,
Thy grace vouchsafe Thy child, Lord, still,
In Thy green pastures lead me;
That I in faith may patience gain,
Through patience rich reward attain,
When I’ve endur’d the trial.
Oh! Holy Ghost, of joy the Oil,
Whom God from Heaven giveth,
Refresh me, pour into my soul
What heart and flesh reviveth.
Of glory, Thou the Spirit art,
Know’st what in heav’n shall be my part
Of grace, joy, consolation!
How fair ’twill be, ah! let me gaze
Upon the life so glorious,
That Thou wilt give to those who pass
Through trials sore, victorious.
The earth with all its treasures fair
Can never with this life compare,
They pale and fade before it.
Thou’lt deal with me so graciously,
I’ll endless joy be tasting,
For trials known to Thee and me
Have glory everlasting.
Thou’lt wipe the tear-drop from mine eyes,
To exultation turn my sighs,
Lord! I believe it. Amen!
For Patience in Great Sorrow
