Thankful Joy and Praise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: O praise and bless the Lord, my soul Lyrics: 1 O praise and bless the Lord, my soul, His wondrous love proclaim; Join heart and voice and all my pow'rs To bless His holy Name. 2 O praise and bless the Lord, my soul, And ever thankful be; Forget not all the benefits He has bestowed on thee. 3 He freely pardons all thy sins, And He is strong to save; He heals thy sickness, soothes thy pain, And ransoms from the grave. 4 He crowns thee with His grace and love, And, with His strength endued, Thou mountest up with eagle's wings, Thy joyous youth renewed. 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness For all that are oppressed; To all His saints His gracious acts And ways are manifest. 6 The Lord is ever merciful, And unto anger slow; His loving-kindness and His grace In rich abundance flow. 7 He will not chide for evermore, He turns His wrath away; He has not strictly marked our sins, Our evil to repay. 8 As heaven is high above the earth, So great His mercy proves; As far from us as east from west He all our sin removes. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: HOWARD

In Heavenly Love Abiding

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 590 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid; But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. 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

Psalm 131

Author: John Newton Appears in 250 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: Quiet, Lord, my froward heart Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart, Make me teachable and mild, Upright, simple, free from art, Make me as a weaned child: From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleased thee. 2 What thou shalt to-day provide, Let me as a child receive; What to-morrow may betide, Calmly to thy wisdom leave: 'Tis enough that thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear? 3 As a little child relies On a care beyond his own, Knows he's neither strong nor wise, Fears to stir a step alone;-- Let me thus with thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide. Scripture: Psalm 131:1 Used With Tune: GUIDE

Well-Doing and Well-Being

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: A little that the righteous hold Lyrics: 1 A little that the righteous hold Is better far than wealth untold Of many wicked men; Destroyed shall be their arm of pride, But they who in the Lord confide Shall be upholden then. 2 He knows the days the perfect live, To them a heritage will give Which ever shall abide; In evil times no shame they know, And in the days of famine's woe They shall be satisfied. 3 Although the wicked prospered seem, At last they vanish like a dream And perish in a day; Jehovah's foes shall soon appear Like fields once fair, now brown and sere; Like smoke they fade away. 4 They borrow oft and pay not back, But righteous men do nothing lack, And give with gracious hand; Those cursed by Him shall be destroyed, But such as have His grace enjoyed, They shall possess the land. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: GANGES

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

God Our Only Good

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: O God, how good Thou art Lyrics: 1 O God, how good Thou art To all the pure of heart, Tho' life seems vain; Burdened with anxious care, I groped in dark despair, Till in Thy house of prayer All was made plain. 2 Ever, O Lord, with Thee, All shall be well with me, Held by Thy hand; And Thou wilt guide my feet By Thy own counsel sweet, Till I, for glory meet, In glory stand. 3 In earth or heav'n above Who is there that I love Compared with Thee? My heart may faint with fears, But God my strength appears, And will to endless years My portion be. 4 O it is good that I May still to God draw nigh, As oft before; The Lord Jehovah blest, My refuge and my rest, Shall be in praise confessed For evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: OLIVET
