The Prosperity of the Upright

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: The steps of those whom He approves Lyrics: 1 The steps of those whom He approves Are ordered by the Lord; And though they fall, held by His hand, They yet shall be restored. 2 I have not seen, tho' since my youth Full many years have fled, The saint forsaken, nor behold His children begging bread. 3 The children of the merciful Find blessings kept in store; Depart from evil and do good, And live for evermore. 4 Wait on the Lord and keep His way, And then, by Him approved, Thy heritage shall still remain When sinners are removed. 5 Mark well the perfect, upright man, As still his years increase; Behold his life, and thou shalt see His journey end in peace.

Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy

Author: Jane C. Bonar, 1821-1884 Appears in 560 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy; Jesus is mine. Break every tender tie; Jesus is mine. Dark is the wilderness, Earth has no resting-place, Jesus alone can bless; Jesus is mine. 2 Tempt not my soul away; Jesus is mine. Here would I ever stay; Jesus is mine. Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away; Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine. Lost, in this dawning bright, Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine. 4 Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine. Welcome, eternity; Jesus is mine. Welcome, O loved and blest, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, Welcome, my Saviour’s breast; Jesus is mine. Used With Tune: LUNDIE

The Righteous and the Evil-Doer

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: The wicked, watching for their prey Lyrics: 1 The wicked, watching for their prey, Desire the righteous man to slay, But God is on his side; He will not leave him in their hands, Nor count him guilty when he stands In judgment to be tried. 2 Wait on the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt thee, nor delay To give the land to thee; And when the wicked are cut off, The wicked who against thee scoff, Their judgment thou shalt see. 3 The wicked in great pow'r are seen, Like spreading tree with foliage green That grows in native ground. I looked again, they were no more; I sought the men so proud before, But they could not be found. 4 Mark thou the upright day by day, Behold the perfect in his way; His journey ends in peace. Destroyed at once shall rebels be; Cut off from all posterity, Their very name shall cease. 5 Salvation is from God, alone, Whom as their covert saints have known When by sore troubles tried; The Lord Who helped in troubles past Will save them to the very last, For they in Him confide. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: RAPTURE

What our Father does is well

Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well: Blessed truth! His children tell! Though He send, for plenty, want, Though the harvest store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well: Shall the willful heart rebel, If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well: Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God: Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well: May the tho't within us dwell; Though nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father and the Son And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be, Now and through eternity.
