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

His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Saviour has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Amen. Scripture: Job 23:10 Used With Tune: NYLAND

Contentment

Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind, As tempest vex the sea; But calm content and peace we find, When, Lord, we turn to thee. 2 In vain by reason and by rule, We try to bend the will; For none but in the Saviour's school Can learn the heavn'ly skill. 3 Since at his feet my soul has sat, His gracious words to hear, contented with my present state, I cast on him my care. 4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot, And will do all things well; Soon shall I leave this wretched spot, And rise with him to dwell. 5 In life his grace shall strength supply, Proportion'd to my day; In death I still shall find him nigh, To bear my soul away. 6 Thus I, who once my wretched days In vain repinings spent; Taught in my Saviour's school of grace, Have learn'd to be content. Scripture: Philippians 4:11
