Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Author: Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #628 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise, On thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To thee I tell each rising grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 But, oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. Scripture: Job 13:15

Give to the winds thy fears

Author: J. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #629 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head: Through waves and clouds and storms He gently clears the way: Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 2 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight--let fear depart, And every care be gone. What though thou rulest not; Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim--God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov-reign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Scripture: Psalm 27:14

O Lord! my best desire fulfill

Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #630 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 O Lord! my best desire fulfill, And help me to resign Life, health, and comfort to thy will, And make thy pleasure mine. 2 Why should I shrink at thy command, Whose love forbids my fears? Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No, rather let me freely yield What most I prize, to thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold from me. 4 Thy favor, all my journey through, Shall be my rich supply; What else I want, or think I do, Let wisdom still deny. Scripture: Matthew 26:39-42

In trouble and in grief, O God

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #631 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 In trouble and in grief, O God, Thy smile hath cheered my way; And joy hath budded from each thorn That round my footsteps lay. 2 The hours of pain have yielded good Which prosperous days refused; As herbs, though scentless when entire, Spread fragrance when they're bruised. 3 The oak strikes deeper as its boughs By furious blasts are driven; So life's tempestuous storms the more Have fixed my heart in heaven. 4 All-gracious Lord, whate'er my lot In other times may be, I'll welcome still the heaviest grief That brings me near to thee.

O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Author: Moore Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #632 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 O THOU who driest the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be, If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee. 2 The friends who in our sunshine live, When winter comes, are flown; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone. 3 But Christ can heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 4 When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e'en the hope that threw A moment's sparkle o'er our tears, Is dimmed and vanished too: 5 Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom, Did not his wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom, Our peace-branch from above. 6 Then sorrow, touched by him, grows bright, With more than rapture's ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day. Scripture: Isaiah 25:8

If on a quiet sea

Author: Toplady Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #633 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 If on a quiet sea Toward heaven we calmly sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to thee, We'll own the fav'ring gale. 2 But should the surges rise, And rest delay to come, Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. 3 Soon shall our doubts and fears All yield to thy control: Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. 4 Teach us, in every state, To make thy will our own; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone. Scripture: Jeremiah 49:23

Son of God, thy blessing grant

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #634 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 Son of God, thy blessing grant; Still supply my every want; Tree of life, thine influence shed: From thy fullness I am fed. 2 Tend'rest branch, alas, am I-- Wither without thee and die; Weak as helpless infancy: Oh, confirm my soul in thee! 3 Unsustained by thee, I fall; Send the help for which I call: Weaker than a bruised reed, Help I every moment need. 4 All my hopes on thee depend; Love me, save me to the end; Give me persevering grace: Take the everlasting praise. Scripture: Isaiah 42:3

God of thine Israel's faithful three

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #635 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 God of thine Israel's faithful three, Who braved the tyrant's ire, Who nobly scorned to bow the knee, And walked, unhurt, in fire: Oh, breathe their faith into my breast, In every trying hour; And stand, O Son of Man, confessed In all thy saving power! 2 While thou, Almighty Lord, art nigh, My soul disdains to fear; Both sin and Satan I defy, Still impotently near: The earth and hell their wars may wage-- I mark their vain design: And calmly smile to see them rage Against a child of thine. Scripture: Daniel 3:23

The tempter to my soul hath said

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #636 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 The tempter to my soul hath said, There is no help in God for thee; Lord! lift thou up thy servant's head; My glory, shield, and solace be. 2 Thus to the Lord I raised my cry, He heard me from his holy hill; At his command the waves rolled by; He beckoned--and the winds were still. 3 I laid me down, and slept--I woke-- Thou, Lord! my spirit didst sustain; Bright from the east the morning broke-- Thy comforts rose on me again. 4 I will not fear, though armed throngs Compass my steps in all their wrath; Salvation to the Lord belongs; His presence guards his people's path. Scripture: Psalm 3:5

Author: Darwin Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #637 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience Lyrics: 1 For me, O Lord, whatever lot The hours commissioned bring-- If all my withering blessings die, Or fairer clusters spring: 2 Oh, grant that still with faithful heart My years resigned may run! 'Tis thine to give or to resume, And may thy will be done.
