Give to the winds thy fears

Author: Rev. John Wesley; Rev. Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnal #294 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: God Presence, His Abiding Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Leave to His sovereign sway To choose and to command; So shalt thou, wondering, own His way, How wise, how strong His hand! 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. Amen. Tune Title: ST. BRIDE

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Hymnal #296 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God Presence, His Abiding Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, who rises With healing in His wings: When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe His people too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice, For while in Him confiding I cannot but rejoice. Amen. Tune Title: BENTLEY

Immortal Love, within whose righteous will

Author: Rev. Stopford A. Brooke Hymnal: The Hymnal #303 (1950) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Topics: God Presence, His Abiding Lyrics: 1. Immortal Love, within whose righteous will Is always peace, O pity me, storm-tossed on waves of ill; Let passion cease; Come down in power within my heart to reign, For I am weak, and struggle has been vain. 2. The days are gone when far and wide my will Drove me astray; And now I fain would climb the arduous hill, That narrow way Which leads through mist and rocks to Thine abode; Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God. 3. Whate’er of pain Thy loving hand allot, I gladly bear; Only, O Lord, let peace be not forgot, Nor yet Thy care, Freedom from storms and wild desires within, Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin. 4. So may I, far away, when evening falls On life and love, Arrive at last the holy, happy halls, With Thee above— Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven, And sure Thy goodness is my only heaven. Amen. Tune Title: LUX BEATA
