All the way my Saviour leads me

Can I doubt his tender mercy Who through life has been my Guide? Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in him to dwell— For I know, whate'er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well. 2 All the way my Saviour leads me, Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for ev'ry trial, Feeds me with the living Bread. Though my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the rock before me, Lo, a spring of joy I see! 3 All the way my Saviour leads me— O the fullness of his love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father's house above: When my spirit, clothed, immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day, This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way! Amen.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever-present aid, and therefore though the earth remove, we will not be afraid; though hills amidst the seas be cast, though foaming waters roar, yea, though the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord Most High has his abode. Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand, for God will be her early help, when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, but when his voice was heard, the troubled earth was stilled to peace before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; come, see what desolation great he on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth he causes war to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, o'er all exalted high; the subject nations of the earth my name shall magnify." The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure, the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM (FINK) Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb To search the starry vault profound; In vain would wing her flight sublime To find creation's utmost bound. 2 But weaker yet that thought must prove To search thy great eternal plan, Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began. 3 When my dim reason would demand Why that, or this, thou dost ordain, By some vast deep I seem to stand, Whose secrets I must ask in vain. 4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me, Here, as on solid rock, I rest,— That so it seemeth good to thee. 5 Be this my joy, that evermore Thou rulest all things at thy will; Thy sovereign wisdom I adore, And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still. Amen. Scripture: Job 11:7 Used With Tune: CANONBURY

O God, renew, with heav'nly dew, Our body, soul, and spirit, Until we stand at thy right hand, Through Jesus' saving merit. Amen. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
