Trust in your God, your Saviour and your guide, who through all changes faithful will remain. Be still, my soul, your best, your heavenly friend through stormy ways leads to a peaceful end. 2 Be still, my soul, for God will undertake to guide the future surely as the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul, life's tempests still obey the voice that once the waves' wild fury strayed. 3 Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever in God's peace; when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, love’s joys restored, our strivings shall cease. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph Medlicott Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,705 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Christ the Saviour is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do our friends despise, forsake us? Are we tempted to despair? Jesus' strength will shield our weakness, and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
