Contentment

Author: William Cowper Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time: Our country is in every clime: We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

"Songs in the night"

Author: Anon. Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation, I catch the sweet, though far-off, hymn That hails a new creation; Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die? The Lord my Saviour liveth; What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night be giveth; No storm can shake my inmost calm, While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, Since first I learned to love it; The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his How can I keep from singing?

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 99 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God, in ev'ry part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy being and thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone, nor e'en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made up of praise in ev'ry part: 2 Praise in the common words I speak, life's common looks and tones, in fellowship enjoyed at home with my beloved ones, enduring wrong, reproach, or loss with sweet and steadfast will, forgiving freely those who hate, returning good for ill. 3 So shall each fear, each fret, each care be turned into a song, and ev'ry winding of the way the echo shall prolong. So shall no part of day or night from sacredness be free, but all my life, in ev'ry step, be fellowship with thee. Scripture: Psalm 34:1 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
