Not Haughty Is My Heart
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #683 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Not haughty is my heart,
not lofty is my pride;
I do not seek to know the things
God's wisdom has denied.
2 With childlike trust, O Lord,
in you I calmly rest,
contented as a little child
upon its mother's breast.
3 Ye people of the Lord,
in him alone confide;
from this time forth and evermore
his wisdom be your guide.
Scripture: Psalm 131 Languages: English Tune Title: OLMUTZ
Not Haughty Is My Heart
Is there ambition in my heart?
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #702 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Is there ambition in my heart?
Search, gracious God, and see;
Or do I act a haughty part?
Lord, I appeal to thee.
2 I charge my thoughts, be humble still,
And all my carriage mild;
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.
3 The patient soul, the lowly mind,
Shall have a large reward;
Let saints in sorrow lie resigned,
And trust a faithful Lord. Scripture: Psalm 131
Is there ambition in my heart?
Filial submission
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXVIII (1792) Topics: Contentment First Line: And can my heart aspire so high Lyrics: 1 And can my heart aspire so high,
To say, "my father God!
Lord at thy feet I fain would lie,
And learn to kiss the rod.
2 I would submit to all thy will,
For thou art good and wise;
Let every anxious thought be still,
Nor one faint murmur rise.
3 Thy love can cheer the darksome gloom,
And bid me wait serene;
Till hopes and joys immortal bloom,
And brighten all the scene.
4 "My father"—O permit my heart
To plead her humble claim,
And ask the bliss those words impart.
In my redeemer's name. Scripture: Hebrews 12:7 Languages: English
Filial submission
Sincerity and truth
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment First Line: Let those who bear the Christian name Lyrics: 1 Let those who bear the christian name
Their holy vows fulfill:
The saints, the followers of the lamb,
Are men of honor still.
2 True to the solemn oaths they take,
Tho' to their hurt they swear:
Constant and just to all they speak,
For God and angels hear.
3 Still with their lips their hearts agree,
Nor flattering words devise:
They know the God of truth can see
Thro' every false disguise.
4 They hate the appearance of a lie,
In all the shapes it wears;
Firm to the truth—and when they die,
Eternal life is theirs.
5 Lo! from afar the Lord descends,
And brings the judgment down;
He bids his saints, hi faithful friends,
Rise and possess their crown.
6 While satan trembles at the sight,
And devils wish to die,
Where will the faithless hypocrite
And guilty liar fly?
Scripture: Philippians 4:8 Languages: English
Sincerity and truth
Resignation? or God our portion
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment First Line: My times of sorrow and of joy Lyrics: 1 My times of sorrow and of joy,
Great God, are in thy hand;
My choicest comforts come from thee
And go at thy command.
2 If thou shouldst take them all away,
Yet would I not repine;
Before they were possess'd by me,
They were entirely thine.
3 Now would I drop a murmuring word,
Tho' the whole world were gone,
But seek enduring happiness
In thee, and thee alone.
4 What is the world with all its store?
'Tis but a bitter-sweet;
When I attempt to pluck the rose,
A piercing thorn I meet.
5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found,
The honey's mixt with gall;
Midst changing scenes and dying friends,
Be thou my all in all.

Resignation? or God our portion
Submission
Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment First Line: O Lord, my best desires fulfill Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my best desires fulfil,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort to thy will,
And make thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at thy command
Whose love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No, let me rather freely yield
What most I prize to thee;
Who never hast a good withheld,
Or wilt withhold from me.
4 Thy favor, all my journey thro'
Thou art engag'd to grant;
What else i want, or think I do,
Tis better still to want.
5 Wisdom and mercy guide my way,
Shall I resist them both?
A poor blind creature of a day,
And crush'd before the moth!
6 But ah! my inward spirit cries,
Still bind me to thy sway;
Else the next cloud that veils my skies,
Drives all these thoughts away.

It is the Lord— let him do as seemeth him good
Author: T. Greene Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment First Line: It is the Lord— enthron'd in light Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord — enthron'd in light,
Whose claims are all divine;
who has an undisputed right
To govern me and mine.
2 It is the Lord — should I distrust,
Or contradict his will?
Who cannot do but what is just,
And must be righteous still.
3 It is the Lord — who gives me all
My wealth, my friends, my ease;
And of his bounties may recall
Whatever part he please.
4 It is the Lord — who can sustain
Beneath the heaviest load,
From whom assistance I obtain
To tread the thorny road.
5 It is the Lord — whose matchless skill
Can from afflictions raise
Matter eternity to fill
With ever-growing praise.
6 It is the Lord — my cov'nant God,
Thrice blessed be his name!
Whose gracious promise, seal'd with blood,
Must ever be the same.
7 His cov'nant will my soul defend,
Should nature's self expire:
And the great judge of all descend
In awful flames of fire.
8 And can my soul with hopes like these,
Be sullen, or repine?
No, gracious God, take what thou please,
I'll cheerfully resign. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:18 Languages: English

A Trustful Appeal to God
Hymnal: The Psalter #6 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Contentment First Line: My righteous God, Who oft of old Lyrics: 1 My righteous God, Who oft of old
Hast saved from troubles manifold,
Give answer when I call to Thee,
Be gracious now and hear my plea.
2 How long, O men, will ye defame,
How long my glory turn to shame,
How long will ye vain follies prize,
How long pursue deceit and lies?
3 But know, the lord has set apart
The man of godly life and heart
To be His favored one for aye;
Jehovah hears me when I pray.
4 In rev'rence wait, from sin depart,
In meditation calm your heart;
Hold fast the right, be true and just,
And in Jehovah put your trust.
5 O who will show us any good,
Exclaims the faithless multitude;
But lift on us, O lord, we pray,
The brightness of Thy face this day.
6 More joy from Thee has filled my heart
Than great abundance could impart;
I lay me down to peaceful sleep,
For Thou, O Lord, dost safely keep. Scripture: Psalm 4 Languages: English Tune Title: REST
