Tis Winter Now; the Fallen Snow

Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Assurance Lyrics: 1 'Tis winter now; the fallen snow has left the heavens all coldly clear; Through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow, and all the earth lies dead and drear. 2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn; new life within the keen air breathes; God's beauty paints the crimson dawn, and clothes the boughs with glittering wreaths. 3 And though abroad the sharp winds blow, and skies are chill, and frosts are keen, Home closer draws its circle now, and warmer glows the light within. 4 O God! who gives the winter's cold, as well as summer's joyous rays, Us warmly in your love enfold, and keep us through life's wintry days.

Be still, my heart! these anxious cares

Author: John Newton Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: The Christian Comfort and Encouragement Lyrics: 1 Be still, my heart! these anxious cares To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares; They cast dishonor on thy Lord, And contradict his gracious word; Brought safely by his hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear? 2 When first before his mercy-seat Thou didst to him thy all commit, He gave thee warrant from that hour To trust his wisdom, love, and power: Did ever trouble yet befall And he refuse to hear thy call? 3 He who has helped thee hitherto, Will help thee all thy journey through; Though rough and thorny be the road, It leads thee home, apace, to God; Then count thy present trials small, For heaven will make amends for all.
