Flung to the heedless winds

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; John Alexander Messenger Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #401 (1908) 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 Flung to the heedless winds, Or on the waters cast, The martyrs' ashes will Be gathered at the last: And from that scattered dust, Around us and abroad, Shall spring a plenteous seed Of witnesses for God. 2 Jesus has now received Their latest living breath; Yet vain is Satan's boast Of vict'ry in their death: Still, still, though dead, they speak, And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim To many a wak'ning land The one availing Name.

Commit thy way, confiding

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Rev. Henry Mills, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #411 (1908) 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 Commit thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on then, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises, God gives it thee to bear; Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

O Lord! how happy is the time

Author: Wolfgang Christoph Dessler; Greville Matheson Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #421 (1908) 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! Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTER

Thy grace impart Each trial to abide, And ever let my bleeding heart Cling to Thy bleeding side. Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH

Who knew no sin and no deceiving

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a402 (1895) 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.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a408 (1895) Topics: The Walk of Godliness Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 What God does, ever well is done! His will is just and holy; As He directs my sands to run, My spirit shall keep lowly. He is my God; Though sore the rod, His care doth e'er enfold me: Then may He guide and hold me. 2 What God does, ever well is done! In need He will not quit me. In rightful path He still leads me on; To Him then I submit me. I'll walk His ways, And trust His grace To lift what doth oppress me: It rests with Him to bless me. 3 What God does, ever well is done! He thinks but to befriend me; As Healer mine, and Wondrous One, He will not poison send me Instead of cure. God's heart is pure. Of doubt will I divest me, And on His goodness rest me. 4 What God does, ever well is done! And though the cup selected, Seem to my mind too bitter drawn, Yet will I not reject it. God loveth me! I yet shall see Sweet comfort for my grieving; So I keep on believing. 5 What God does, ever well is done! Of this shall none deprive me; And though on pathway rough and lone, Need, death, and mis'ry drive me, God's arms will bear Me with fond care, Till all my sorrow ceaseth; Then do He, as He pleaseth.
