Author: Rev J. Henry Gilmore Appears in 1,323 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't! Oh, words with heav'nly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine. Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the victory's won, E'ev death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Christ the Saviour is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do our friends despise, forsake us? Are we tempted to despair? Jesus' strength will shield our weakness, and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Used With Tune: WEBER

The Promis'd Land

Appears in 305 hymnals Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: Far from these narrow Scenes of Night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow Scenes of Night, Unbounded Glories rise, And Realms of infinite delight, Unknown to Mortal Eyes. 2 There Pain and Sickness never come, And Grief no more complains; Health Triumphs in Immortal Bloom, And endless Pleasure reigns. 3 No Cloud those blissful Regions know, For ever bright and fair! For Sin, the source of mortal Woe, Can never enter there. 4 There no alternate Night is known, Nor Sun's faint sickly Ray; But Glory from the sacred Throne Spreads everlasting Day. 5 O may the heav'nly Prospect fire Our Hearts with ardent Love, Till Wings of Faith, and strong Desire Bear ev'ry Thought above. 6 Prepare us, Lord, by Grace Divine For thy bright Courts on High; Then bid our Spirits rise and join The Chorus of the Sky.

Author: Dr John Fawcett Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turned to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus, Look to Jesus, And rejoice in His dear Name. 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful, He is faithful, To perform His gracious Word. 4 Though distresses now attend thee, And Thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon He'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise Him, Therefore praise Him, Praise thy great Redeemer's Name. Used With Tune: CALVARY
