In Thy heart and hands, my God

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Joseph Winckler Appears in 5 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 In Thy heart and hands, my God, Calmly now my soul reposes, Waiting patiently the end That Thy aim in all discloses; Stripped of self, how sweet my rest On my loving Father's breast. 2 And my soul repineth not, Well content whate'er befall it; Murmurs, wishes of self-will, Doomed to death, no more enthrall it; Restless thoughts, that fret and crave, Slumber in my Savior's grave. 3 And my soul doth cease from cares, From the thoughts that sore perplex us, That destroy the inner peace, For like sharpest thorns they vex us; He who made her careth well, It but seeks in peace to dwell. 4 And my soul despaireth not, Loves Him most when sad and lonely; Grief that wrings and breaks the heart Comes to those who hate Him only; They who love Him still possess Comfort in their worst distress. 5 And my soul complaineth not, For no pain or fears dismay it, Still she clings to God in faith, Trusts Him, though He seem to slay it. 'T is when flesh and blood repine, Sun of joy, Thou canst not shine. 6 Thus my soul is still and waits, Every murmuring word she hushes, Conqu'ring thus the pain or wrong That the restless spirit crushes; Like a silent ocean, bright With its Maker's praise and light.

The Spirit's fruits are peace and love

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 The Spirit's fruits are peace and love, And purity from heav'n above; Grace, meekness, gentleness, and joy, With goodness, new-born lives employ. 2 The Spirit makes life's pathway plain, Imparts the grace that will sustain; And grace its work in those who show, Who truly to the Spirit sow. 3 They that are Christ's have crucified Their flesh with all its lusts and pride, And seek in truth what they profess, And walk the paths of holiness. 4 Lord, fill with grace our wayward heart, Nor let Thy Spirit from us part; O save us from still hidden sin, And form our nature pure within: 5 That watchful, prayerful, sober, strong, We grow the more as strifes prolong, And of the Spirit reap at last Eternal life, when strife is past.

My faith securely buildeth

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 My faith securely buildeth On Christ who shed His blood; This, and this only, yieldeth The true eternal good. The life that my soul liveth, Finds nothing on the earth; What Christ, the Savior, giveth Of all our love is worth. 2 No angel, nought that gladdens, No throne nor majesty, No love, nor aught that saddens, No grief nor misery, Nor aught that man discovers, Now be it small or great, From Thee, my heavenly Lover's Embrace can separate. 3 My heart with joy is springing, And sad I cannot be; 'Tis full of joy and singing, The sunshine doth it see. The Sun that looks with pleasure On me is Christ my King; The glory beyond measure That waits me, makes me sing.

O Lord! how happy is the time

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; 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!

The man is ever blessed

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners ways; Amongst their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God Hid study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night; 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf His name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race: They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Up, my soul, gird thee with power

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power, Watch! to prayer betake thee; Lest the sudden evil hour Unawares o'ertake thee. Satan's prey Soon are they, Who, with best endeavor, Watch not, pray not, ever. 2 But first rouse thee, and awake From secure indiff'rence; Else will follow in its wake Woe without deliv'rance. Take thou heed! Utter need, Death in sins might find thee, Ere thou look behind thee. 3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord Not enlighten, ground thee; Nor thou see the quickening Word Shine in splendor round thee. God demands Eyes and hands Open for the offers, He so richly proffers. 4 With thy watching mingle prayer; Grace but rids from slumber. God rids thee from slothful care And the weights that cumber; Else will still Mind and will Lukewarm praises tender, And cold service render. 5 God will have it that we ask, And it shall be given; Who pray alway, alway bask In the grace of heaven. Ere they plead Will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend them, And deliv'rance send them. 6 Cheer thee then, my soul! All must Work for good, and bless us, If we but in prayerful trust To God's Son address us; And He will Richly fill, And His Spirit send us, Who to Him commend us. 7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed, God will prove our Hearer; For the hour of utmost need Constantly draws nearer. Saints will cheer, Sinners fear, When the trumpet calleth, Earth in ruins falleth.
