Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:19 Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands, To His sure truth and tender care, Who earth and heav'n commands: Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey, He shall direct thy wand'ring feet, He shall prepare thy way. 2 Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on His work thy steadfast eye, So shall thy work be done. No profit canst Thou gain By self-consuming care; To Him commend thy cause; His ear Attends the softest prayer. 3 Thy everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows What best for each will prove. And whatsoe'er Thou will'st, Thou dost, O King of kings! What Thine unerring wisdom chose, Thy power to being brings. 4 Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve Thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light. When Thou arisest, Lord, What shall Thy work withstand? When all Thy children want Thou giv’st, Who, who shall stay Thy hand? Amen.

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 191 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead, Before whose bar severe, With holy joy or guilty dread, We all shall soon appear; Our cautioned souls prepare For that tremendous day, And fill us now with watchful care, And stir us up to pray: 2 To pray, and wait the hour, That awful hour unknown, When, robed in majesty and power, Thou shalt from heaven come down. Th' immortal Son of man, To judge the human race, With all thy Father's dazzling train, With all thy glorious grace. 3 To damp our earthly joys, To increase our gracious fears, For ever let the archangel's voice Be sounding in our ears The solemn midnight cry,-- Ye dead, the Judge is come; Arise, and meet him in the sky, And meet your instant doom. 4 Oh, may we all be found Obedient to thy word, Attentive to the trumpet's sound, And looking for our Lord. Oh, may we thus ensure A lot among the blest; And watch a moment to secure An everlasting rest. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; The Solemn Midnight Cry
