Whate'er my God ordains is right

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Holy His will abideth; I will be still, whate’er He doth And follow where He guideth. He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall; Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er my God ordains is right; He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path: I know He will not leave me, And take, content, What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Though now this cup in drinking May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking: Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WAS GOTT THUT DAS IST WOHLGETAN

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper Appears in 2,479 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Carl Bernhard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne’er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Forth blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine, Through all the coming days. 2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o’er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour, And break the might of sin. 3 Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
