What God ordains is always good
Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1703 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: John 10:27-30 Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good:
his will is just and holy.
As he directs my life for me
I follow meek and lowly.
My God indeed
in every need
knows well how he will shield me;
to him, then, I will yield me.
2 What God ordains is always good:
he never will deceive me;
he leads me in his own right way,
and never will he leave me.
I take content
what he has sent;
his hand that sends me sadness
will turn my tears to gladness.
3 What God ordains is always good:
his loving thought attends me;
no poison can be in the cup
that my physician sends me.
My God is true;
each morning new
I trust his grace unending,
my life to him commending.
4 What God ordains is always good:
he is my friend and father;
he will not let me come to harm
though many storms may gather.
Now I may know
both joy and woe;
some day I shall see clearly
that he has loved me dearly.
5 What God ordains is always good:
this truth remains unshaken.
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
I shall not be forsaken.
I fear no harm,
for with his arm
he shall embrace and shield me;
so to my God I yield me. Topics: Assurance; Providence Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT Text Sources: Tr.: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941, alt.

When Simplicity We Cherish
Author: Augustus Gottlieb Spangenberg Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: John 10:14-16 Lyrics: 1 When simplicity we cherish,
then the soul is full of light;

when of Jesus we lose sight.

those whom nothing else can cheer
but the joy of his inspiring,
lending to his voice an ear;
3 who in Christ find greatest treasure
and upon his grace depend;
who but want to do his pleasure,
just fulfilling his commands;
4 who to Jesus humbly cleaving,
pay obedience to his word,
who in closest union living
with our Savior, Head, and Lord;
5 who in Jesus Christ abiding,
and from self-dependence free,
in none else but him confiding
walk in true simplicity.
6 Those who are by Christ directed,
trusting the Good Shepherd’s care,
from all harm will be protected,
and no danger need to fear.

Where is death's sting

nor only for the life beyond the grave;
all that is beautiful in earth and sky,
all skill, all knowledge, all the powers we have,
are of your giving, and in them we view
no dust and ashes, but a part of you.
2 Laughter is yours, the laughter free from scorn,
and yours the smile upon a cheerful face:
yours, too, the tears, when love for love must mourn,
and death brings silence for a little space.
You give to us and do not take away:
the parting is but here, and for a day.
3 Fullness of life, in body, mind and soul;
"Who saves their life shall lose it," you have said:
a great adventure with a glorious goal;
nothing that lives in you is ever dead:
brave living here, and then, beyond the grave,
more life and more adventure for the brave. Topics: Death; Funeral; Laughter / Mirth; Our Hope in God; Promise; Tears / Weeping Used With Tune: SONG 1

To that home just o’er the sea,
Where the angels clothed in whiteness
Waiting, stand to welcome me.

Welcome me into the fold,
Welcome me into the fold,
There angels will stand with harps in their hands
To welcome me into the fold.
2 And I almost catch the echo
Of that glad and holy song;
And I long to join the chorus
That is chanted by that throng. [Refrain]
3 Oft I think it can be longer
That I here must toil and sigh;
Then I catch in angel whisper,
’Twill be better by and by. [Refrain]
4 By and by the veil asunder
Shall be rent by God’s own hand;
By and by we’ll go to meet him
In that blessed, happy land. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [As I soar in flights of fancy]
