All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #468 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Contentment: Lilies of the Field Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. He who trusts with faith unshaken In his God is not forsaken And e'er keeps a dauntless heart. 2 He who hitherto hath fed me And to many joys hath led me, Is and ever shall be mine. He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will remain my Help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope my heart anew will quicken, All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender; For in Him alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I to Him commit my way. 6 If on earth my days He lengthen, He my weary soul will stengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

Avert all sin and shame And crown my aged head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing that may chance Me from my Savior sever; And, dying with Him, take My soul to Thee for ever; And let my body have A little space to sleep Beside my fathers' grave, And friends that o'er it weep. 8 And when the end is come And all the dead are waking, O reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.
