Will your anchor hold
Author: Priscilla Jane Owens, 1829-1899 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #753 (2000) Topics: Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storms of life Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
when the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
[Refrain]
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
fastened to the rock which cannot move,
grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
2 Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear,
when the breakers roar and the reef is near?
While the surges rave, and the wild winds blow,
shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow? [Refrain]
3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
when the waters cold chill your latest breath?
On the rising tide you can never fail,
while your anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
4 Will your eyes behold through the morning light,
the city of gold and the harbour bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heav'nly shore,
when life's storms are past for evermore? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #758 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Temptation and Conflict Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me."
2 Take up your cross, let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish heart be still;
the Lord for you accepted death,
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly ev'ry danger brave:
it guides you to abundant life
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: Matthew 10 Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
O Christ, Who by a Cross
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #766 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Temptation of believers First Line: O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign,
who gives your peace in water, bread and wine:
O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home,
teach us the secret of the true shalom.
2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war
and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore;
we promise peace while yet we strive to win,
and in our enemy, see not our kin.
3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed -
the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread;
with riches of the earth at our command,
from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand.
4 The selfishness which is our human curse,
the arsenal of hatred which we nurse -
all are dispelled when in our hearts we say:
"There is no way to peace: peace is the way." Scripture: Jeremiah 31:27-34 Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
O Christ, Who by a Cross

2 In my trials, Lord, walk with me;
in my trials, Lord, walk with me;
when my heart is almost breaking,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
3 When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me;
when I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me;

Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.

When We Are Tested

famished for bread when the world offers stone,
nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
trusting your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
trading the truth for the power to control,
teach us to worship and praise only you,
seeking your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Savior, surround us with circles of care,
angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer.

If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Glory to God #816 (2013) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee,
with hopeful heart through all thy ways,
God will give strength, whate'er betide thee,
to bear thee through the evil days.
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 Only be still, and wait God's leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Keeper's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent.
No doubt our inmost wants are clear
to One who holds us always dear.
3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from God's ways,
but do thine own part faithfully.
Trust the rich promises of grace;
so shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook at need
the soul secured by trust indeed. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:8 Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

By Gracious Powers
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #818 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Temptation First Line: By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting, come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
Scripture: Psalm 116:13 Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR

At evening, when the sun had set
Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #824 (1997) Topics: Jesus Christ Temptation of Lyrics: 1 At evening, when the sun had set,
the sick, O Lord, around you lay:
in such distress and pain they met,
but with what joy they went away!
2 Once more the evening falls, and we
oppressed with many ills, draw near,
and though your form we cannot see,
we know and feel that you are here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our cares dispel,
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved you well,
and some have lost the love they had,
4 and all desire your perfect rest,
for none is wholly free from sin,
and those who long to serve you best
are most aware of wrong within.
5 O Saviour Christ, O Son of Man,
you have been troubled, tempted, tried;
your kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
6 Your touch has still its ancient power;
no word from you can fruitless fall:
hear us, touch us in this hour,
and in your mercy heal us all. Scripture: Matthew 8:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS
At evening, when the sun had set
