We to Thy mercy fly; What'er we are, Thou canst protect, What'er we need, supply. 3 Whether we sleep or wake, To Thee we both resign; The darkest night is as the day, If Thy light on us shine. 4 Whether we live or die, Both we submit to Thee; In death we live as well as life, If Thine in faith we be.

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #407 (1880) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend, Here on earth we are but strangers, Towards our promised Land we wend, Through a wilderness of dangers; Here we roam a pilgrim-band, Yonder is our native land. 2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Thou canst claim a heavenly nature; Cleave not to these earthly things, Thou canst rest not in the creature. Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends. Languages: English

What God does, ever well is done!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #408 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope ; The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 What God does, ever well is done! His will is just and holy; As He directs my sands to run, My spirit shall keep lowly. He is my God; Though sore the rod, His care doth e'er enfold me: Then may He guide and hold me. 2 What God does, ever well is done! In need He will not quit me. In rightful path He still leads me on; To Him then I submit me. I'll walk His ways, And trust His grace To lift what doth oppress me: It rests with Him to bless me. 3 What God does, ever well is done! He thinks but to befriend me; As Healer mine, and Wondrous One, He will not poison send me Instead of cure. God's heart is pure. Of doubt will I divest me, And on His goodness rest me. 4 What God does, ever well is done! And though the cup selected, Seem to my mind too bitter drawn, Yet will I not reject it. God loveth me! I yet shall see Sweet comfort for my grieving; So I keep on believing. 5 What God does, ever well is done! Of this shall none deprive me; And though on pathway rough and lone, Need, death, and mis'ry drive me, God's arms will bear Me with fond care, Till all my sorrow ceaseth; Then do He, as He pleaseth.
