All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:5-6 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken in their God are not forsaken and will keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me and to many joys has led me is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, he who daily guides and rules me will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting over trifles and in getting things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure that will bring me lasting pleasure and that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, hope anew my heart will quicken; all my longing shall be stilled. To his loving-kindness tender soul and body I surrender, for on God alone I build. 5 Well he knows what best to grant me; all the longing hopes that haunt me, joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt his wisdom never; as God wills, so be it ever; I commit to him my way. 6 If my days on earth he lengthen, he my weary soul will strengthen; all my trust in him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, like a stream away is gliding; safe I anchor in his grace. Topics: Trust Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Andächtige Haus-Kirche, Nürnberg, 1676

Commit Thy way, confiding

Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37 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 all 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 Hope on! thou weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought: Thy graces He will nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, Oh bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us, From ever foe defend! Let us, till death pursuing The best--Thy chosen--way, In heaven our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

We lay us calmly down to sleep

Author: Anon. Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:8 Lyrics: 1 We lay us calmly down to sleep When friendly night is come, and leave To God the rest; Whether we wake to smile or weep, Or wake no more on time's fair shore, He knoweth best, He knoweth best. Refrain: O Father, bless in love thy child! We lay us down to sleep. 2 As sinks the sun in western skies When day is done, and twilight dim Comes silent on, So fades the world's most luring prize On eyes that close in deep repose Till wakes the dawn, Till wakes the dawn. [Refrain] 3 Why vex our souls with wearing care? Why shun the grave, for aching head So cool and low? Have we found life so passing fair, So grand to be, so sweet that we Should dread to go? Should dread to go?

Come and Find the Quiet Center

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 37:7 Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead, find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed: clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes, that we can see all the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be. 2 Silence is a friend who claims us, cools the heat and slows the pace, God it is who speaks and names us, knows our being, touches base, making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun, raising courage when we're shrinking, finding scope for faith begun. 3 In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain, let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain: there's a place for deepest dreaming, there's a time for heart to care, in the Spirit's lively scheming there is always room to spare!
