Through all the changing scenes of life
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 480 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
2 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
3 O make but trial of His love;
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: WILTSHIRE Text Sources: Tate and Brady's "New Version," 1696, 1698

My Hope Is Built
Author: E. Mohr Appears in 1,109 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil;
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood:
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand. Used With Tune: [My hope is built on nothing less]

His holy will abideth;

He holds me that I shall not fall;
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.

He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path;
I know He will not leave me,
And take, content,
What He hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait His day.
3 Whate'er my God ordains is right;
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;
My Father's care
Is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall,
And so to Him I leave it all.

and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.

yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

shall surely follow me;
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES'S AIR Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

To the Hills I Lift My Eyes
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 To the hills I lift my eyes,
the everlasting hills.
Streaming forth in fresh supplies,
my soul the Spirit feels;
will he not his help afford?
Help, while yet I ask, is giv'n;
God comes down, the God and Lord
who made both earth and heav'n.
2 Faithful soul, pray, always pray,
and still in God confide;
he your stumbling steps shall stay,
and shall not let you slide;
safe from known or secret roes,
free from sin and Satan's hold,
when the flesh, earth, hell oppose,
he'll keep you in his fold.
3 See the Lord, your keeper, stand
omnipotently near.
Now he holds you by the hand,
and banishes your fear;
shadows with his wings your head,
guards from all impending harms;
round you and beneath are spread
the everlasting arms.
4 Christ shall bless your going out,
shall bless your coming in;
kindly compass you about,
till you are saved from sin.
Like your spotless Master, you,
filled with wisdom, love, and pow'r,
holy, pure, and perfect now,
both now and evermore. Scripture: Psalm 121 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Author: S. Stennett Appears in 918 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine. Used With Tune: BELMONT

Now make us strong; we need Thy deep revealing
Of trust and strength and calmness from above.

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Scripture: Joshua 24:15-16 Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY
