God in Whose Memory No One Is Lost (Forget-Me-Not Hymn)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.7.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Adversity First Line: God in whose memory no one is lost Lyrics: 1 God in whose memory no one is lost, love that will seek and will find, do not forget us when we forget you, when we know fear in the mists of the mind. 2 Faces and places familiar are gone, clouds of unknowing descend, do not forget us when we forget you, cared-for and carer have need of a friend. 3 Help us accept what we cannot repair, though our hearts hunger and ache, do not forget us when we forget you, give us the strength not to flinch or forsake. 4 Memories moved to a world of their own test all our faithful belief: do not forget us when we forget you, help us, each one in this shadow of grief. 5 Give us the grace of true kindness and touch, patience to stay on this road, do not forget us when we forget you, Spirit of Jesus, compassion of God.

Here Hangs a Man Discarded

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Here hangs a man discarded, a scarecrow hoisted high, a nonsense pointing nowhere to all who hurry by. 2 Can such a clown of sorrows still bring a useful word when faith and love seem phantoms and every hope absurd? 3 Yet here is help and comfort for lives by comfort bound, when drums of dazzling progress give strangely hollow sound: 4 Life, emptied of all meaning, drained out in bleak distress, can share in broken silence our deepest emptiness; 5 And love that freely entered the pit of life's despair, can name our hidden darkness and suffer with us there. 6 Christ, in our darkness risen, help all who long for light to hold the hand of promise, till faith receives its sight. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; wean it from earth, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, and make me love thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 4 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame; the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Amen. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

When We Are Tested

That Cause Can Never Be Lost or Stayed

Author: Kristian Ostergaard; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 9.9.10.10 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 That cause can never be lost nor stayed which takes the course of what God has made, and is not trusting in walls and towers but slowly growing from seeds to flowers. 2 Each noble service that we have wrought was first conceived as a fruitful thought; each worthy cause with a future glorious by quietly growing becomes victorious. 3 Thereby itself like a tree it shows: that high it reaches, as deep it grows; and, when the storms are its branches shaking, it deeper root in the soil is taking. 4 Be then no more by a storm dismayed, for by it the full grown seeds are laid; and though the tree by its might it shatters, what then, if thousands of seeds it scatters!
