O God, Thou Faithful God

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #395 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever flowing, Who good and perfect gifts In mercy art bestowing, Give us a healthy frame, And may I have within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin! 2 Grant Thou me strenth to do, With ready heart and willing Whate’er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; And do it when I ought, With all my might, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 Oh, let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth; Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth; And then, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words grant pow'er and grace Lest I offend the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless; And let me win my foe With words and actions kind. When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me with all men, As far as in me lieth, In peace and friendship live. And if Thy gift supplieth Great wealth and honor fair, Then this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 If Thou a longer life Hast here on earth decreed me; If Thou through many ills To age at length wilt lead me, Thy patience on me shed. Avert all sin and shame And crown my hoary head With honor free from blame. 7 Let me depart this life Confiding in my Savior; Do Thou my soul receive That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting-place Within a Christian grave; And let it sleep in peace. 8 And on that solemn Day When all the dead are waking, Stretch o’er my grave Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking. Then let me hear Thy voice, Change Thou this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name. Amen.

O God, Thou faithful God

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #28 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fount that ever flowest, Without whom nothing is, who all good gifts bestowest; A pure and healthy frame O give me, and within a conscience free from blame, a soul unhurt by sin. 2 And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling; To do it when I ought, With all my strength; and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success. 3 O let me never speak What bounds of truth exceedeth; Grant that no idle word From out my mouth proceedeth; And grant, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words due power and grace, Nor let me wound the weak. 4 If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross, When life is dark and cheerless; Let me subdue my foe By words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. 5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may; And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honors fair, O this refuse me not, That naught be mingled there Of goods unjustly got. 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To ripe old age wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed, Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let me depart this life Confiding in my Saviour; Do Thou my soul receive, That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting-place Beside a Christian's grave, And let it sleep in peace. 8 And on that solemn day, When all the dead are waking, Stretch o'er my grave Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voice, And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.

Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #115 (1863) Lyrics: O God, Thou faithful God, Thou Fountain ever flowing, Without whom nothing is, All perfect gifts bestowing; A pure and healthy fram O give me, and within A conscience free from blame, A soul unhurt by sin. And grant me, Lord, to do, With ready heart and willing, Whate'er Thou shalt command, My calling here fulfilling, And do it when I ought, With all my strength, and bless The work I thus have wrought, For Thou must give success.

If dangers gather round, Still keep me calm and fearless; Help me to bear the cross When life is dark and cheerless; To overcome my foe With words and actions kind; When counsel I would know, Good counsel let me find. And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, As far as Christians may. And if Thou aught art giving Of wealth and honours fair, Oh this refuse me not, That nought be mingled there Of goods unjustly got.

And when the Day is come, And all the dead are waking, Oh reach me down Thy hand, Thyself my slumbers breaking; Then let me hear Thy voices And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name.
