Be still my heart! these anxious cares

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #335 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint Submission to the Will of God Lyrics: 1 Be still, my heart! these anxious cares To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares, They cast dishonor on thy Lord, And contradict His gracious word. 2 Brought safely by His hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear? How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide? 3 When first before His mercy-seat Thou didst to Him thy all commit, He gave thee warrant from that hour, To trust His wisdom, love, and power. 4 Did ever trouble yet befall, And He refuse to hear thy call? And has He not His promise passed, That thou shalt overcome at last? 5 Though rough and thorny be the road, It leads thee home, apace, to God; Then count thy present trials small, For heaven will make amends for all.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #432 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Will of God Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call to live according to your word and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear; if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We marvel how your saints became in hindrances more sure: whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you: the cross you hung upon, all you endeavored, done.

'Tis but a bitter-sweet; When I attempt to pluck the rose, A piercing thorn I meet. 5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found, The honey's mixt with gall; Midst changing scenes and dying friends, Be thou my all in all.
