O God of Jacob, by whose hand

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who, through this weary pilgrimage, Hast all our fathers led! 2 To Thee our humble vows we raise, To Thee address our prayer; And in Thy kind and faithful breast Deposit all our care. 3 Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us by day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 Oh, spread Thy covering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease, And at our fathers' loved abode Our souls arrive in peace! 5 To Thee, as to our covenant God, We'll our whole selves resign; And thankful own that all we are, And all we have, is Thine.

Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear

Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear, Thy great provider still is near; Who fed thee last, will feed thee still, Be calm, and sink into his will. 2 The Lord, who built the earth and sky, In mercy stoops to hear thy cry; His promise all may freely claim, "Ask and receive in Jesu's name." 3 His stores are open all and free To such as truly upright be; Water and bread he'll give for food, With all things else which he sees good. 4 Your sacred hairs which are so small, By God himself are number'd all: This truth he's publish'd all abroad, That men may learn to trust the Lord. 5 The ravens daily he doth feed, And sends them food as they have need, Altho' they nothing have in store, Yet as they lack he gives them more. 6 Then do not seek, with anxious care, What ye shall eat, or drink, or wear: Your heav'nly Father will you feed, He knows that all these things you need. 7 Without reserve, give Christ your heart; Let him his righteousness impart; Then all things else he'll freely give, With him you all things shall receive. 8 Thus shall the soul be truly blest, That seeks in God his only rest: May I that happy person be, In time, and in eternity! Scripture: Luke 12:31

Away, my unbelieving fear

Appears in 174 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear, Fear shall in me no more have place; My Saviour doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus, no, I never will give up the shield. 2 Although the vine its fruit deny, Although the olive yield no oil, The with'ring fig-tree droop and die, The field elude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race, Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Barren although my soul remain, And no one bud of grace appear, No fruit of all my toil and pain, But sin, and only sin is here; Although my gifts and comforts lost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Yet will I win my Saviour trust, And glory that he dy'd for me. 4 In hope believing against hope, Jesus, my Lord, my God, I claim, Jesus, my strength, shall lift me up, Salvation is in Jesu's name; To me he soon shall bring it nigh, My soul shall then out-strip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Appears in 552 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon-day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wand'ring steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskip flow. 3 Tho' in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. 4 Tho' in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile With sudden greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around.
