on whom in affliction I call,
my comfort by day, and my song in the night,

Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with thy sheep
to feed in the pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep
or lone in the wilderness rove?

or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see
and smile at the tears I have shed.
Yet speak, and ten thousands of angels rejoice;
thy soul-cheering wisdom impart.
Eternity echoes the sound of thy voice
that reaches my desolate heart. Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: ZION’S PILGRIM

whence the healing waters flow.
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar

I will ever give to thee. Scripture: Exodus 13:17-22 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

wo du wirst gehn und stehen,
da minn mich mit.
2 In deiner Gnaden hülle
mein schwaches Herz,
und mach es endlich stille
in Freud und Schmerz.
Lass ruhn zu deinen Füßen
dein schwaches Kind;
es will die Augen schließen
und folgen blind.
3 Wenn ich auch gar nichts fühle
von deiner Macht,
du bringst mich doch zum Ziele
auch durch die Nacht.
So minn denn meine Hände
und führe mich
bis an mein selig Ende
und ewiglich!

Be thou my true companion
and with me stay.

my poor, weak heart!
Let ev’ry thought rebellious
from me depart.
Permit thy child to linger
here at thy feet,
and fully trust thy goodness
with faith complete.
3 Though naught of thy great power
may move my soul,
with thee through night and darkness
I reach the goal.
Take, then, my hand and lead me,
stay by my side,
and in thy joy eternal
I shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: German Tune Title: SO NIMM DENN MEINE HÄNDE

what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O 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 dark 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;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O God, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

In the Bulb There Is a Flower

in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
in our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE
