Commit Now All Your Griefs

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 246 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all your 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 your wand'ring feet, hHe shall prepare your way. 2 Give to the winds your fears; hope, and be undismayed; God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head. Through waves and clouds and storms he gently clears your way; wait for his time, so shall the night soon end in joyous day. 3 Still heavy is your heart? Still sink your spirits down? Cast off the weight, let fear depart, and every care be gone. He everywhere has sway, and all things serve his might; his every act pure blessing is, his path unsullied light. 4 Far, far above your thought his counsel shall appear, when fully he the work has wrought that caused your needless fear. Leave to his sovereign sway to choose and to command; with wonder filled, you then hall own how wise, how strong his hand. Scripture: Psalm 37:5 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

The Lord our God builds up His Church, He seeks her wandering sons; He binds their wounds and gently leads The brokenhearted ones. 2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name And counts the stars of night; His wisdom is unsearchable, And wondrous is His might. The Lord upholds the poor and meek, He brings the wicked low; Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks And all His goodness show. 3 No human might, no earthly pride Delights the Lord above; In those who fear Him He delights, In those that trust His love. O Zion, praise the Lord thy God, His wondrous love confess; He is thy glory and thy strength, He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

The Confidence of Faith

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God First Line: The Lord Almighty is my light Lyrics: 1 The Lord Almighty is my light, He is my Saviour ever near, And, since my strength is in His might Who can distress me or affright? What evil shall I fear? 2 O Lord, regard me when I cry, In mercy hear me when I speak; Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I, O Lord, with willing heart reply, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 3 Hide not Thy face afar from me, For Thou a lone canst help afford; O cast me not away from Thee Nor let my soul forsaken be, My Saviour and my Lord. 4 Though earthly friends no pity take, Yet Thy compassion knows no end; E'en tho' my father shall forsake, E'en tho' my mother's love shall break, The Lord will be my friend. 5 My heart had failed in fear and woe Unless in God I had believed, Assured that He would mercy show And that my life His grace should know, Nor was my hope deceived. 6 Fear not, though succor be delayed, Still wait for God, and He will hear; Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed, Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid, Yea, trust and never fear.

Save Me, O God, Because the Floods

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods Come in upon my soul, I sink in depths where none can stand, Deep waters o'er me roll. 2 My constant calling wearies me, My throat is parched and dried; My eyes grow dim while for my God Still waiting I abide. 3 The foes who hate me unprovoked Are strong and still increase, Though to disarm their enmity My right I yield for peace. 4 O God, my folly and my sin Thy holy eye can see; Yet save from shame,Lord God of hosts, Thy saints that wait on Thee. 5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6 It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7 It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9 The men who sit within the gate With slander do me wrong, And they who linger at their cups Make me their jest and song. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: SAWLEY

Joyful in Thy House of Prayer

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: Joyful in Thy House of Prayer, Shall Thy chosen people be; God of mercy, meet me there, While my spirit waits on Thee. There, with strength renew'd, the saint As on eagle wings shall fly, Walk and run, and never faint, Fight and conquer,--so would I. There, with faces Zion-ward, When transgressors ask the way To the city of the Lord, Each shall hear the watchman say:-- 118 To the Cross direct thine eyes, Thither from destruction flee, For the gates of paradise Open stand on Calvary. "He who bore a sinner thence, As a trophy of his death, There will pardon thine offence, There receive thy latest breath." There, where my Redeemer died, Humbly in the dust I fall; Jesus, and Him crucified, Now shall be mine all in all.

Fret not tho' sinners' gains increase; forsake thy wrath, from anger cease; It will to evil tend. 2 The evildoer soon shall die, But those that on the Lord rely Shall all the land obtain; A little while and thou shalt see That wicked men cut off shall be, They shall be sought in vain. 3 Yea, thou shalt soon consider well The place where they were wont to dwell, And it shall not be found; But saints shall all the land possess, And find delight and happiness where fruits of peace abound. 4 The vile may plot against the just who in the Lord Jehovah trust, But God will scorn them all; The Lord their coming day shall see, When broken all their pow'r shall be, And ruin on them fall.
