Why should cross and trial grieve me?

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #506 (1961) Meter: 8.3.3.6.8.3.3.6 Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me? Christ is near With his cheer; Never will he leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven That God's Son For my own To my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness; Shall I grieve If he give Seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever All my ill, And he will Wholly leave me never. 3 Death cannot destroy for ever; From our fears, Cares, and tears It will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story, Make a way That we may Enter heav'nly glory. 4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee. Thou art mine; I was thine, Even ere I knew thee. I am thine, for thou hast bought me; Lost I stood, But thy blood Free salvation brought me. 5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee. Light of Joy, Ne'er shall I From my heart dethrone thee. Saviour, let me soon behold thee Face to face,— May thy grace Evermore enfold me! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 73:23-24 Languages: English Tune Title: WARUM SOLLT' ICH MICH DENN GRÄMEN

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #520 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Prayer in Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, who rises With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But he will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For, while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

What a privilege to carry ev'rything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry ev'rything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness - take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge-- take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God? 4 Since I must fight if I would reign: increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, shall conquer, though they die; they view the triumph from afar, and seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry through the skies, the glory shall be thine.

Though seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear. Since thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with thee, My Lord, thy will be done. 4 My Jesus, as thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, "My Lord, thy will be done." Amen.
