Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Harlyn J. Kuschel Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #428 (1993) Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) First Line: Why should cross and trial grive me? Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me?
Christ is near With his cheer; Never will he leave me.
Who can rob me of the heaven
That God's Son For me won When his life was given?
2 When life's troubles rise to meet me,
Though their weight May be great, They will not defeat me.
God, my loving Savior, sees them;
He who knows All my woes Knows how best to end them.
3 God gives me my days of gladness,
And I will Trust him still When he sends me sadness.
God is good; his love attends me
Day by day, Come what may, Guides me and defends me.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #365 (1893) Meter: 8.6.6 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book Lyrics: 1 WHY should sorrow ever grieve me;
Christ is near,
What can here
E’er of Him deprive me?
Who can rob me of my heaven
That God’s Son,
As mine own
To my faith hath given?
2 Naked was I and unswathèd
When on earth
At my birth
My first breath I breathèd.
Naked hence shall I betake me
When I go
From earth’s woe,
And my breath forsake me.
3 Naught--not e’en the life I’m living,
Is mine own,
God alone
All to me is giving.
Must I then His own restore Him?
Though bereft
Of each gift
Still shall I adore Him.
4 Though a heavy cross I’m bearing,
And my heart
Feels the smart,
Shall I be despairing?
God can help me who doth send it,
He doth know
All my woe
And how best to end it.
5 God oft gives me days of gladness,
Shall I grieve
If He give
Seasons, too, of sadness?
God is good, and tempers ever
Every hurt;
Me desert
Wholly can He never.
6 Though united world and Devil,
All their power
Can no more
Do than mock and cavil.
Let derision now employ them,
Christ e’en here
Will appear
And ’fore all destroy them.
7 True believers shrinking never
Where they dwell
Should reveal
Their true colors ever.
When approaching death would scare them
Still should they
Patient stay
And with courage bear them.
8 Death can never kill us even
But relief
From all grief
To us then is given.
It doth close life’s mournful story,
Make a way
That we may
Pass to heavenly glory.
9 There I’ll reap enduring pleasure,
After woe
Here below
Suffered in large measure.
Lasting good we find here never,
All the earth
Deemeth worth
Vanisheth forever.
10 What is all this life possesseth?
But a hand
Fall of sand
That the heart distresseth.
Noble gifts that pall me never,
Christ so free
There gives me
To enjoy forever.
11 Shepherd! Lord! joy’s Fountain ever
Thou art mine,
I am Thine,
No one can us sever.
I am Thine, because Thou gavest
Life and blood
For my good,
By Thy death me savest.
12 Thou’rt mine, for I love and own Thee,
Ne’er shall I,
Light of joy,
From my heart dethrone Thee.
Let me, let me soon behold Thee
Face to face,
Thy embrace
May it soon enfold me!

Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me
Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #377 (1996) Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary First Line: Why should cross and trial grieve me? Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me?
Christ is near
With His cheer;
Never will He leave me.
Who can rob me of the heaven
That God's Son
For my own
To my faith hath given?
2 Though a heavy cross I'm bearing
And my heart
Feels the smart,
Shall I be despairing?
God, my Helper, who doth send it,
Well doth know
All my woe
And how best to end it.
3 God oft gives me days of gladness;
Shall I grieve
If He give
Seasons, too, of sadness?
God is good and tempers ever
All my ill,
And He will
Wholly leave me never.
4 Hopeful, cheerful, and undaunted
Ev'rywhere
They appear
Who in Christ are planted.
Death itself cannot appal them,
They rejoice
When the voice
Of their Lord doth call them.
5 Death cannot destroy forever;
From our fears,
Cares, and tears
It will us deliver.
It will close life's mournful story,
Make a way
That we may
Enter heav'nly glory.
6 What is all this life possesses?
But a hand
Full of sand
That the heart distresses.
Noble gifts that pall me never
Christ, our Lord,
Will accord
To His saints forever.
7 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to Thee.
Thou art mine;
I was Thine,
Even e'er I knew Thee.
I am Thine, for Thou hast bought me;
Lost I stood,
But Thy blood
Free salvation brought me.
8 Thou art mine; I love and own Thee.
Light of Joy,
Ne'er shall I
From my heart dethrone Thee.
Savior, let me soon behold Thee
Face to face;
May Thy grace
Evermore enfold me!
