If solid happiness we prize

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXVII (1789) Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Contentment Lyrics: 1 If solid happiness we prize, Within our breasts this jewel lies, And they are fools who roam; The world has little to bestow, From our own selves our joys must flow, Our bliss begins at home. 2 We'll therefore relish with content Whate'er kind Providence hath sent, Nor aim beyond our pow'r; And if our store of wealth be small, With thankful hearts enjoy it all, Nor lose the present hour. 3 To be resign'd, when ills betide, Patient, when favours are deny'd, And pleas'd with favours giv'n; This is the wise, the virtuous part, This is that incense of the heart, Whose fragrance reaches heav'n. 4 Thus, crown'd with peace, thro' life we'll go, Its chequer'd paths of joy and wo With cautious steps we'll tread; Quit its vain scenes without a tear, Without a trouble or a fear, And mingle with the dead. 5 While Conscience, like a faithful friend, Shall thro' the gloomy vale attend, And cheer our dying breath; Shall, when all other comforts cease, Like a kind angel whisper peace, And smooth the bed of death.

Who will but let himself be guided

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #207 (1898) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Who will but let himself be guided Of God alone, in all his ways, Shall strength receive, be well provided, And safely led through evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love, Builds on the Rock that naught can move. 2 No anxious cares or bitter wailing Can help afford, or give relief; Within ourselves there's naught availing To give us comfort in our grief; Our burdens, trials, sorrow, pain, Do but increase as we complain. 3 Wait on the Lord, my heart, in meekness And cheerful hope; be thou content To get whate'er thy Father's kindness And all-discerning love hath sent; Doubt not that all thy wants are known To Him who chose thee for His own. 4 He knows when joyful hours are needed, And sends them as He sees it meet; When He through trials has succeeded To make us free from all deceit, Then cometh He all unaware And makes us own His loving care. 5 Think not, when in the stress of trial, That God hath cast thee off unheard, That he whose hopes meet no denial Must surely be of God preferred; God never will forsake in need The heart that trusts in Him indeed.
