Seems it in my anguish lone

Author: Christoph Titius; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 9 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 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.

Lo, what a pleasing sight

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve of Holiness Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.
