Author: Thomas Moore, 1779 - 1852; Thomas Hastings, 1784 - 1872 Appears in 1,092 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, 'Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.' 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 If God himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes, confounded, fly. If Christ, my head and master, Befriend me from above, What foe or what disaster Can drive me from his love? 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and his blood Alone are my salvation, My true, eternal good. Without him all that pleases Will vain and empty prove. The gifts I have from Jesus Alone are worth my love. 3 Christ Jesus is my splendor, My sun, my light, alone; Were he not my defender Before God’s awesome throne, I never should find favor And mercy in his sight But be destroyed forever As darkness by the light. 4 Though earth, Lord, break asunder, You are my Savior true; No fire or sword or thunder Shall sever me from you; No danger, thirst, or hunger, No pain or poverty, No mighty princes' anger Shall ever vanquish me. 5 No angel and no gladness, No high place, pomp, or show, No love, no hate, no badness, No sadness, pain, or woe, No scheming, no contrivance, No subtle thing or great Shall draw me from your guidance Nor from you separate. 6 For joy my heart is ringing; All sorrow disappears; And full of mirth and singing, It wipes away all tears. The sun that cheers my spirit Is Jesus Christ, my king; The heav'n I shall inherit Makes me rejoice and sing. Used With Tune: IST GOTT FÜR MICH

If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Georg Neumark, 1621 - 81 Appears in 191 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, what e'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that nought can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee, O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still, and await his leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er your Father's pleasure And all discerning love have sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To him who chose us for his own. 4 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving; In all thy labor faithful be, And trust his word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never will forsake in need The soul that trusts in him indeed. Used With Tune: NEUMARK (WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT)

A-men. 4 If some poor wandering child of thine Have spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen. Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830 - 69 Appears in 571 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand; The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within a wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat And burdens of the day. 2 Upon that Cross of Jesus, Mine eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess: The wonders of his glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O Cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of his face: Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the Cross.
