When Lawless People Thrive

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When lawless people thrive and wrong suppresses right, remember they will fade away and wither overnight. Commit your life to God, and trust the LORD to make the justice of your righteous cause shine clear for his name's sake. 2 Be still before the LORD; in patience learn to wait and never fret if crime succeeds and some grow rich and great. For jealous discontent tends only to destroy; the meek who look to God their LORD a kingdom shall enjoy. 3 The godless borrow much and cannot then pay back; the righteous give, and give again, are blessed, and have no lack. The saints whose lives are true can turn away from wrong; God's Word is hidden in their heart, God's wisdom guides their tongue. 4 I've seen a boasting thief grow like a weed apace; but when I passed that way again I looked, but found no trace. My steps are from the LORD who helps my feet to stand. I stumble but I do not fall; my God shall hold my hand. 5 Salvation is from God in times of blatant wrong, and all who seek his shelter find a refuge safe and strong. So fully trust the LORD; shun evil, follow right: God gives you all your heart's desire when he is your delight.

Thou Fairest Child Divine

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou fairest Child divine, In yonder manger laid, In whom is God Himself well pleased, By whom all things were made, On me art Thou bestowed, How can such wonders be! The dearest that the Father hath He gives me here in Thee! 2. I was a foe to God, I fought in Satan’s host, I trifled all His grace away, Alas! my soul was lost. Yet God forgives my sin, His heart, with pity moved, He gives me, heavenly Child, in Thee; Lo! thus our God hath loved! 3. Once blind with sin and self, Along the treacherous way, That ends in ruin at the last, I hastened far astray; Then God sent down His Son, For with a love most deep, Most undeserved, His heart still yearned O’er me, poor wandering sheep! 4. God with His life of love To me was far and strange, My heart clung only to the world Of sight and sense and change; In Thee, Immanuel, Are God and man made one; In Thee my heart hath peace with God, And union in the Son. 5. Oh ponder this, my soul, Our God hath loved us thus, That e’en His only dearest Son He freely giveth us. Thou precious gift of God, The pledge and bond of love, With thankful heart I kneel to take This treasure from above. 6. I kneel beside Thy couch, I press Thee to my heart, For Thee I gladly all forsake And from the creature part; Thou priceless Pearl! lo, He By whom Thou’rt loved and known, Will give Himself and all He hath To win Thee for His own. 7. Oh, come, Thou blessèd Child, Thou Savior of my soul, For ever bound to Thee, my name Among Thy host enroll. O deign to take my heart, And let Thy heart be mine, That all my love flow out to Thee, And lose itself in mine.

The Unfailing One

Havergal Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: He who hath led, will lead Lyrics: 1 He who hath led, will lead All through the wilderness; He who hath fed, will surely feed; Who hath blessed, will bless; He who hath hath heard thy cry Will never close His ear; He who hath marked thy faintest sigh Will not forget thy tear. 2 He who hath made thee whole Will heal thee day by day; He who hath spoken to thy soul Hath many things to say; He who hath greatly taught Yet more will make thee know; He who so wondrously hath wrought Yet greater things will show. 3 He who hath made thee nigh Will draw thee nearer still; He who hath giv’n the first supply Will satisfy and fill; He who hath giv’n thee grace Yet more and more will send; He who hath set thee in the race Will speed thee to the end. 4 He who hath won thy heart Will keep it true and free; He who hath shown thee what thou art Will show Himself to thee; He who hath bid thee live, And made thy life His own, Life more abundantly will give, And keep it His alone. 5 Then trust Him for today, As thine unfailing friend, And let Him lead thee all the way, Who loveth to the end. And let the morrow rest In His belovèd hand; His good is better than our best, As we shall understand.
