To God my earnest voice I raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before his face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe. 2 When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare thy servant in his way. 3 O Lord, my Saviour, now to thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life. 4 Be thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 142 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

My Jesus, as thou wilt!

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt! O may thy will be mine; Into thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow, or through joy, Conduct me as thine own; And help me still to say, My Lord, thy will be done. 2 My Jesus, as thou wilt! If needy here and poor, Give me thy people's bread, Their portion rich and sure. The manna of thy Word Let my soul feed upon; And if all else should fail, My Lord, thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as thou wilt! Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with thee, My Lord, thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, "My Lord, thy will be done." Amen.

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Prayer in 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 tomorrow bring with it what it may." 3 It can bring with it nothing but he will bear 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 shall bear, though all the field 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.

Chorus: And it holds, my anchor holds; Blow your wildest, then, O gale, On my bark so small and frail; I shall never, never fail. For my anchor holds, my anchor holds. 2 Mighty tides about me sweep, Perils lurk within the deep, Angry clouds o’ershade the sky, And the tempest rises high; Still I stand the tempest’s shock, For my anchor grips the Rock. [Refrain] 3 I can feel the anchor fast As I meet each sudden blast, And the cable, though unseen, Bears the heavy strain between, Through the storm I safely ride, Till the turning of the tide. 4 Troubles almost whelm the soul; Griefs like billows o’er me roll; Tempters seek to lure astray, Storms obscure the light of day, But in Christ I can be bold, I’ve an anchor that shall hold. [Refrain] Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 6:19 Used With Tune: [Though the angry surges roll]

God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 465 hymnals Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide, While ev'ry nation, ev'ry shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And wat'ring our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, thy holy Word, Our grief allays, our fear controls; Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against a threat'ning hour; Nor can her firm foundations move, Built on his truth, and armed with pow'r. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: WARD
