Hasten, O sinner, to be wise

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #377 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun: The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 O hasten mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er, Before this evening’s course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn, Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest, Before the morrow is begun.

Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #379 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain, Sinners ruined by the fall: Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 2 Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find; Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 3 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood; God is faithful; God will never Break the covenant of His blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

What God does, ever well is done!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #408 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope 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.

Seems it in my anguish lone

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #412 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.

When we cannot see our way

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #417 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way, Let us trust, and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show. 2 Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage be denied; Fearless let us still proceed, Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead. 3 Though it seems the gloom of night, Though we see no ray of light: Since the Lord Himself is there, ‘Tis not meet that we should fear. 4 Night with Him is never night, Where He is, there all is light; When He calls us, why delay? They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Languages: English

In Thy heart and hands, my God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #419 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 In Thy heart and hands, my God, Calmly now my soul reposes, Waiting patiently the end That Thy aim in all discloses; Stripped of self, how sweet my rest On my loving Father's breast. 2 And my soul repineth not, Well content whate'er befall it; Murmurs, wishes of self-will, Doomed to death, no more enthrall it; Restless thoughts, that fret and crave, Slumber in my Savior's grave. 3 And my soul doth cease from cares, From the thoughts that sore perplex us, That destroy the inner peace, For like sharpest thorns they vex us; He who made her careth well, It but seeks in peace to dwell. 4 And my soul despaireth not, Loves Him most when sad and lonely; Grief that wrings and breaks the heart Comes to those who hate Him only; They who love Him still possess Comfort in their worst distress. 5 And my soul complaineth not, For no pain or fears dismay it, Still she clings to God in faith, Trusts Him, though He seem to slay it. 'T is when flesh and blood repine, Sun of joy, Thou canst not shine. 6 Thus my soul is still and waits, Every murmuring word she hushes, Conqu'ring thus the pain or wrong That the restless spirit crushes; Like a silent ocean, bright With its Maker's praise and light.

Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #422 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Help me, O Lord, to trust in Thee, Whatever may betide; Though health should fail, and riches flee, Though friends, the dearest far to me, Be taken from my side. 2 I know that sickness, sorrow, death, Lie in the onward way; O help me, in true-hearted faith, To rest on Jesus' word, which saith, "Strength shall be as thy day." 3 In sickness passed, in dangers o'er, My Helper Thou hast been; Then should I, for each coming hour, Trust childlike that thy love and power Support will yield again. 4 Though in that last, that darksome glade, Ends all our earthly view, If but Thy voice, "Be not afraid," Be heard amid its deepening shade, I'll calmly journey through. 5 When this poor heart on Thee I stay, On earth is heaven begun; Then love leads on from day to day In duty's path and helps me say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." 6 Thus would I ever trust in Thee, My Comforter and Guide: For e'en though fears and sins prevail, Thy promises can never fail, Whatever may betide.

O my soul, what means this sadness?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #423 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turned to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus, And rejoice in His dear name. 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful To perform His gracious word. 4 Though distresses now attend thee, And Thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon He'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise Him-- Praise thy great Redeemer's name. Languages: English
