Tis my happiness below

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #334 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 'Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross; But the Saviour's power to know, Sanctifying every loss. 2 Trials must and will befall; But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all, This is happiness to me. 3 Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way; Might I not with reason fear I should be a cast-away? 4 Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Bring me to my Saviour's feet, Lay me low, and keep me there.

Be still my heart! these anxious cares

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #335 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint Submission to the Will of God 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. 2 Brought safely by His hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear? How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide? 3 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. 4 Did ever trouble yet befall, And He refuse to hear thy call? And has He not His promise passed, That thou shalt overcome at last? 5 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.

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #336 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint Submission to the Will of God Lyrics: 1 Thy will be done! I will not fear The fate provided by Thy love; Though clouds and darkness shroud me here, I know that all is bright above. 2 The stars of heaven are shining on, Though these frail eyes are dimmed with tears; And hopes of earth indeed are gone, But are not ours th' immortal years? 3 Father! forgive the heart that clings, Thus trembling, to the things of time; And bid the soul, on angel wings, Ascend into a purer clime. 4 There shall no doubts disturb its trust, No sorrows dim celestial love; But these afflictions of the dust, Like shadows of the night, remove. 5 Even now, above, there's radiant day, While clouds and darkness brood below; Then, Father, joyful on my way To drink the bitter cup I go.

Faith

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #347 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God First Line: Rock of Ages, cleft for me Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy side, a healing flood, Be of sin the double cure-- Save from wrath, and make me pure. 2 Should my tears for ever flow, Should my zeal no languor know, This for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
