The man is ever blessed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 117 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 That man is ever blest Who shuns the sinner' ways; Amongst their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God Hid study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night; 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race: They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Author: Dr John Fawcett Appears in 188 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O my soul, what means this sadness? Wherefore art thou thus cast down? Let thy griefs be turned to gladness, Bid thy restless fears be gone; Look to Jesus, Look to Jesus, And rejoice in His dear Name. 2 What though Satan's strong temptations Vex and grieve thee day by day? And thy sinful inclinations Often fill thee with dismay? Thou shalt conquer, Thou shalt conquer, Through the Lamb's redeeming blood. 3 Though ten thousand ills beset thee, From without and from within, Jesus saith He'll ne'er forget thee, But will save from hell and sin: He is faithful, He is faithful, To perform His gracious Word. 4 Though distresses now attend thee, And Thou tread'st the thorny road, His right hand shall still defend thee; Soon He'll bring thee home to God! Therefore praise Him, Therefore praise Him, Praise thy great Redeemer's Name. Used With Tune: CALVARY

My faith securely buildeth

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 My faith securely buildeth On Christ who shed His blood; This, and this only, yieldeth The true eternal good. The life that my soul liveth, Finds nothing on the earth; What Christ, the Savior, giveth Of all our love is worth. 2 No angel, nought that gladdens, No throne nor majesty, No love, nor aught that saddens, No grief nor misery, Nor aught that man discovers, Now be it small or great, From Thee, my heavenly Lover's Embrace can separate. 3 My heart with joy is springing, And sad I cannot be; 'Tis full of joy and singing, The sunshine doth it see. The Sun that looks with pleasure On me is Christ my King; The glory beyond measure That waits me, makes me sing. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX

O Lord! how happy is the time

Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in Thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heav'n of heav'ns is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world, I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart Thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory! Used With Tune: CHESTER

God of grace, whose Word is sure

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 4 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 God of grace, whose Word is sure, Thou who keenest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never, Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 Ever true this word remains: He who Christ to own refuses, While he earthly comfort gains, Everlasting comfort loses; For the Savior will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted, It would be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness; Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.

Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part, Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart: Thy will the best is ever. 2 Grant honor, truth, and self-control, And love the Word to ponder; From doctrines false preserve my soul: And grant both here and yonder What will conduce to blessed days; Keep far all wrong and crooked ways From all my life and doings. 3 When I, according to Thy will, Shall leave this vale of sadness, O let Thy grace my bosom fill, That I may go with gladness; My spirit I commend to Thee, O Lord, a blessed end give me Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen. Used With Tune: STRASBURG (Herr, wie du willst, so schick's)

Dear Lord! our hopes all rest in Thee, Oh! let us ne'er confounded be. Amen! Text Sources: Te Deum; Tr. Comp.

Ah God, my days are dark indeed

Author: Martin Moeller; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Ah God, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed! The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heav'n I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet Name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy Name: They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee! Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR

Who knew no sin and no deceiving

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Walk of Godliness Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Who knew no sin and no deceiving, Has borne my sin and my distress; And I by grace in Him believing, Now deck me with His righteousness. As He is sinner to my good, So I am holy through His blood. 2 Nay not in me, self-righteous were it, On God's grace rests my holiness; He looks on Christ's atoning merit, And counts this as my righteousness: This I believe, and hence my claim, That I am holy in His name. 3 In Christ, by faith then, I am holy, In self though 'tis not yet the case; But I will likewise now so wholly Seek e'er in life to walk by grace, That soul and body may remain All blameless till Christ come again. 4 I will devote my every member To serve in righteousness God's will, Then when I falter, e'er remember That I may trust God's mercy still; And pray that God would guide through strife, That I may lead a holy life. 5 Thus will I walk, O God, before Thee, That my light too may shine alway, And that I by my life adore Thee, Till I at length on that great day In life and self shall holy be, And wholly perfect, Lord, with Thee.
