Matthew 6:25-34

Author: William Cowper Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Courage 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. Scripture: Genesis 22:14 Used With Tune: CASKEY

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,270 hymnals Topics: Courage Lyrics: 1. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home! 2. Under the shadow of thy throne, still may we dwell secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting, thou art God, to endless years the same. 4. A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. 5. Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all who breathe away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE (Croft)

"Peace, be still"

Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: Courage First Line: Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep Lyrics: 1 Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep, Watch did thine anxious servants keep, But thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, Calm and still. 2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry, "Oh, save us in our agony!" Thy word above the storm rose high, "Peace, be still." 3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep Sank, like a little child, to sleep; The sullen billows ceased to leap, At thy will. 4 So, when our life is clouded o'er, And storm-winds drift us from the shore, Say, lest we sink to rise no more, "Peace, be still." Scripture: Matthew 8:26 Used With Tune: ST. AELRED
