If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee and hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, and bear thee through the evil days; who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the Rock that naught can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, these never ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help if thou bewail thee o'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press the heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still, and wait His leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure and all discerning love have sent; nor doubt our inmost wants are known to Him who chose us for His own. 4 All are alike before the Highest; 'tis easy to our God, we know, to raise thee up though low thou livest, to make the rich man poor and low; true wonders still by Him are wrought who setteth up and bright to naught. 5 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; in all thy labor faithful be, and trust His Word; though undeserving, thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in Him indeed. Used With Tune: NEUMARK

With cheerful voice I sing

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Glory of God in our salvation Lyrics: With cheerful voice I sing The titles of my Lord, And borrow all the names Of honor from his word: Nature and art can ne'er supply Sufficient forms of majesty. In Jesus we behold His Father's glorious face, Shining for ever bright, With mild and lovely rays Th' eternal God's eternal Son Inherits and partakes the throne.] The sovereign King of kings, The Lord of lords most high, Writes his own name upon His garment and his thigh: His name is called The Word of God; He rules the earth with iron rod. Where promises and grace Can neither melt nor move, The angry Lamb resents The injuries of his love; Awakes his wrath without delay, As lions roar, and tear the prey. But when for works of peace The great Redeemer comes, What gentle characters, What titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor will he bear those names in vain. Immense compassion reigns In our Immanuel's heart, When he descends to act A Mediator's part: He is a Friend and Brother too; Divinely kind, divinely true. At length the Lord the Judge His awful throne ascends, And drives the rebels far From favorites and friends: Then shall the saints completely prove The heights and depths of all his love. Scripture: Psalm 69:32

[Refrain] 2 When Jesus was on earth, The flesh was very weak; He girdled Himself with a tow'l, And washed His disciples feet. [Refrain] 3 Yonder comes my Savior, Him whom I love so well; He has the palm of victory, And the keys of death and Hell.
