O Lord! how happy is the time

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a421 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heaven of heavens is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world--I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory! Languages: English

Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a422 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee, Whatever may betide; Though health should fail, and riches flee, Though friends, the dearest far to me, Be taken from my side. 2 I know that sickness, sorrow, death, Lie in the onward way; O help me, in true-hearted faith, To rest on Jesus' word, which saith, "Strength shall be as thy day." 3 In sickness passed, in dangers o'er, My Helper Thou hast been; Then should I, for each coming hour, Trust childlike that thy love and power Support will yield again. 4 Though in that last, that darksome glade, Ends all our earthly view, If but Thy voice, "Be not afraid," Be heard amid its deepening shade, I'll calmly journey through. 5 When this poor heart on Thee I stay, On earth is heaven begun; Then love leads on from day to day In duty's path and helps me say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Thus would I ever trust in Thee, My Comforter and Guide: For e'en though fears and sins prevail, Thy promises can never fail, Whatever may betide.

O my soul, what means this sadness?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a423 (1895) Topics: The Walk with God Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turned to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus, And rejoice in His dear name. 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful To perform His gracious word. 4 Though distresses now attend thee, And Thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon He'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise Him-- Praise thy great Redeemer's name. Languages: English

Give me with humble hope to claim A portion so divine. 2 Whate'er Thy will denies, I calmly would resign, For Thou art just, and good, and wise: O bend my will to Thine! 3 Whate'er Thy will ordains, O give me strength to bear; Still let me know a Father reigns, And trust a Father's care. 4 Thy ways are little known To my weak, erring sight; Yet shall my soul, believing, own, That all Thy ways are right.

Abide with me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #2 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Hope and Consolation First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
