O Lord, I sing with mouth and heart

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Praise Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I sing with mouth and heart, Joy of my soul! to Thee; To earth Thy knowledge I impart, As it is known to me. 2 Thou art the Fount of grace, I know, And Spring so fall and free, Whence saving health and goodness flow Each day so bounteously. 3 Thou feedest us from year to year, And constant dost abide: When danger fills our hearts with fear, With help art at our side. 4 With patience dost Thou ev'r abide, Nor long Thine anger keep, But castest all our sins aside Into the ocean's deep. 5 Our deepest needs dost Thou supply, Thou giv’st what lasts for aye, Thou lead’st us to our home on high, When hence we pass away. 6 Then up, my heart, rejoice and sing, A Cheerful trust maintain! For God, the Source of ev'rything, Thy portion will remain.

Why should sorrow ever grieve me?

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Why should sorrow ever grieve me? Christ is near, What can here E’er of Him deprive me? Who can rob me of my heaven That God’s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness? God is good, and tempers ever Every hurt; Me desert Wholly can He never. 3 What is all this life possesseth? But a hand Full of sand That the heart distresseth. Noble gifts that tire me never, Christ so free There gives me To enjoy forever. 4 Shepherd! Lord! joy's fountain ever, Thou art mine, I am Thine, No one can us sever. I am thine because Thou gavest Life and blood For my good, By Thy death me savest. 5 Thou art mine, I love and own Thee, Ne'er shall I, Light of joy, From my heart dethrone Thee. Let me, let me Soon behold Thee Face to face; Thy embrace, May it soon enfold me!

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works from day to day, But miracles of power and grace, Which spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue: Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives: Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he who marks from day to day In gen'rous acts his radiant way, The same path treads the Savior trod, The path to glory and to God.

Commit thy way, confiding

Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Commit thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on them, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises,-- God gives it thee to bear;-- Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

In Thy heart and hands, my God

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation 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.

Up, my soul, gird thee with pow'r

Author: Johann Burchard Freystein; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power, Watch! to prayer betake thee; Lest the sudden evil hour Unawares o'ertake thee. Satan's prey Soon are they, Who, with best endeavor, Watch not, pray not, ever. 2 But first rouse thee, and awake From secure indiff'rence; Else will follow in its wake Woe without deliv'rance. Take thou heed! Utter need, Death in sins might find thee, Ere thou look behind thee. 3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord Not enlighten, ground thee; Nor thou see the quickening Word Shine in splendor round thee. God demands Eyes and hands Open for the offers, He so richly proffers. 4 With thy watching mingle prayer; Grace but rids from slumber. God rids thee from slothful care And the weights that cumber; Else will still Mind and will Lukewarm praises tender, And cold service render. 5 God will have it that we ask, And it shall be given; Who pray alway, alway bask In the grace of heaven. Ere they plead Will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend them, And deliv'rance send them. 6 Cheer thee then, my soul! all must Work for good, and bless us, If we but in prayerful trust To God's Son address us; And He will Richly fill, And His Spirit send us, Who to Him commend us. 7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed, God will prove our Hearer; For the hour of utmost need Constantly draws nearer. Saints will cheer, Sinners fear, When the trumpet calleth, Earth in ruins falleth. Used With Tune: NASSAU (Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn)
