Comfort, Comfort Now My People
Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Comfort & Encouragement; Comfort & Encouragement Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people;
speak of peace: so says our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning under sorrow's load.
Cry out to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell her that her sins I cover
and her warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet him
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Then make straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the LORD
now on earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken.
Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Used With Tune: GENEVAN 42

The Blessing of God on the Business and Comfort of Life
Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Blessing of God on the Business and Comforts of Life; Blessing of God on the Business and Comforts of Life First Line: If God succeed not, all the cost Lyrics: 1 If God succeed not, all the cost
And pains to build the house are lost,
If God the city will not keep,
The watchful guards as well may sleep.
2 What though we rise before the sun,
And work and toil when day is done,
Careful and sparing eat our bread,
To shun that poverty we dread.
3 'Tis all in vain, till God hath blest,
He can make rich, yet give us rest,
On God, our sovereign, still depends
Our joy in children and in friends.
4 Happy the man to whom he sends
Obedient children, faithful friends!
How sweet our daily comforts prove
When they are season'd with his love! Scripture: Psalm 127

bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; your best, your heav’nly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul; your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past;
your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he lived below.
3 Be still, my soul; when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you will better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears.
Be still, my soul; your Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still my soul; when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Scripture: Psalm 42:4-11 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Nothing Is Lost on the Breath of God
Author: Colin Gibson Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 Nothing is lost on the breath of God,
nothing is lost forever;
God’s breath is love, and that love will remain,
holding the world forever.
No feather too light, no hair too fine,
no flower too brief in its glory;
no drop in the ocean, no dust in the air,
but is counted and told in God’s story.
2 Nothing is lost to the eyes of God,
nothing is lost forever.
God sees with love, and that love will remain,
holding the world forever.
No journey too far, no distance too great,
no valley of darkness too blinding;
no creature too humble, no child too small
for God to be seeking and finding.
3 Nothing is lost to the heart of God,
nothing is lost forever;
God’s heart is love, and that love will re-main,
holding the world forever.
No impulse of love, no office of care,
no moment of life in its fullness;
no beginning too late, no ending too soon,
but is gathered and known in its goodness. Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 Used With Tune: GREEN LANE
