Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine agony, O Lord, is o'er, And victory forevermore Is ours through Thy great passion. Earth had for Thee no peace in store Till peace was our possession. 2 Now rest Thee, gentle Shepherd blet, Who 'mid this throng hast found no rest, Nor in a home abided. The shelter life from Thee withheld The grave alone provided. 3 O silent grave! O blest retreat, A refuge for my Saviour meet, No longer dark and narrow! Like Him, I enter thee content, Released from toil and sorrow. 4 O sleep of death, O night profound, My Lord hath set for thee a bound: His promise I remember. Like Him, triumphant I shall come From out that peaceful chamber. Amen.

In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust

Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust, Leave me not helpless in the dust, Let me not be confounded; Let in Thy Word My faith, 0 Lord, Be always firmly grounded. 2 Bow down Thy gracious ear to me, And hear my prayers, Lord, speedily, O grant me Thy protection; For woes and fear Surround me here; Help me in mine affliction. 3 My God and Shield, now let Thy power Be unto me a mighty tower, Whence bravely I defend me Against the foes That round me close; 0 Lord, assistance lend me! 4 Thy Word hath said, Thou art my rock, The fortress than can fear no shock, My help, my life, my treasure; Howe'er distress And dangers press, All must perform Thy pleasure. 5 The world for me has falsely set Full many a secret snare and net, Dark lies and sore temptations; Lord, hear my prayers, And break these snares And hellish machinations. 6 With Thee, Lord, would I cast my lot; My God, my God, forsake me not, For, Lord, I am commending My soul to thee; Deliver me Now and when life is ending. 7 All honor, praise, and majesty To Father, Son, and Spirit be, Our God forever glorious, In whose rich grace We'll run our race, Till we depart victorious.

Sev'n times our blessed Savior spoke

Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sev'n times our blessed Savior spoke, When on the cross our sins He took, And died lest man should perish: Let us His last and dying words In our remembrance cherish. 2 "Father, forgive these men, for lo! They truly know not what they do!" So far His love extended: Forgive us, Lord, for we, too, have Through ignorance offended. 3 Now to the contrite thief He cries: "Thou, verily, in Paradise Shalt meet me ere tomorrow:" Lord, take us to Thy kingdom soon, Who linger here in sorrow. 4 To weeping Mary, standing by, "Behold thy son!" now hear Him cry; To John, "Behold thy mother!" Provide, O Lord, for those we leave, Let each befriend the other. 5 The Savior's fourth word was, "I thirst!" O mighty Prince of Life, Thy thirst For us and our salvation Is truly great: do help us then That we escape damnation. 6 The fifth, "My God, my God, O why Forsake me?" Hark, the awful cry! Lord, Thou wast here forsaken, That we might be received on high; Let this hope not be shaken. 7 The sixth, when victory was won, "'Tis finished!" for Thy work was done. Grant, Lord, that onward pressing We may the work Thou dost impose Fulfill with Thine own blessing. 8 The last, as woe and sufferings end, "O God my Father, I commend Into Thy hands my spirit:" Be this, dear Lord, my dying wish; O heavenly Father, hear it. 9 Whoe'er, by sense of sin oppressed, Upon these words his thoughts will rest, He joy and hope obtaineth, And, through God's love and boundless grace, A peaceful conscience gaineth. 10 O Jesus Christ, Thou Crucified, Who hast for our offenses died, Grant that we e'er may ponder Thy wounds, Thy cross, Thy bitter death, Both here below and yonder.

For Success and Blessing in all Christian Works and Purposes

Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: My God! my works and all I do Lyrics: My God! my works and all I do, Rest only on Thy will, I know, Thy blessing prospers ever, When Thou dost guide, we persevere In right ways, erring never. It standeth not in human might That man’s devices issue right, His way with gladness endeth: God’s counsel only prospers sure, ’Tis He success who sendeth. Man often thinks in haughty mood That this or that is for his good, Yet widely he mistaketh; He often thinketh that is ill Whereof the Lord choice maketh. But wise men e’en who joyfully Begin a good work, frequently Reach no good termination; They build a castle firm and strong, But sand is the foundation. How many in their fancy stray High over mountain peaks away, Ere they bethink them ever; Down to the ground they fall, and vain Has been their strong endeavour. Dear Father! therefore, who the crown And sceptre bear’st on Heav’n’s throne, Who from the clouds dost lighten, Regard my words, and hear my cry, From Thy seat my soul brighten! Vouchsafe to me the noble light That from Thy countenance so bright On pious souls aye breaketh, And where the pow’r of wisdom true Through Thine own pow’r awaketh. Give understanding from on high, That I henceforward may rely Upon mine own will never. Be Thou my counsel, that I may Fulfil the good, Lord! ever. Prove all things well, whate’er is good Give to me, but what flesh and blood Doth choose, withhold it ever. The highest good, the fairest part, Thy glory is and favour. Sun of my soul! my chief delight! Whate’er is pleasing in Thy sight, Oh! may I choose and do it; And what’s displeasing unto Thee, May I, O Lord! eschew it. Is it from Thee? my work then bless; Is it of man? withhold success, And change what I’m resolving. Dost Thou not work? ’twill come to nought, In failure soon involving. But should Thine and our enemy Begin to rage revengefully Against the good Thou’rt meaning, My comfort is, Thou canst avert His wrath, me ever screening. Draw near, and let it easy be, What seems impossible to me, A happy issue give it; What Thou Thyself didst undertake, Thy wisdom did conceive it. Though hard at first the work may be, And I may through the deepest sea Of bitter grief be passing, Oh! may I only driven be To sighs and pray’r unceasing. Whoever prays and trusteth Thee, With valiant heart shall victor be O’er all that frightens ever, In thousand pieces speedily Grief’s heavy stone shall shiver. The way to good is almost wild, With thorns and hedges is it fill’d; Along this way who goeth He by the Spirit’s grace at last What heav’nly joy is knoweth. I am Thy child, my Father Thou! Thou hast abundance to bestow, Nought can I find within me; Help, that I may maintain my ground, As victor home, Lord! bring me. Thine be the glory and the pow’r! Thy mighty works I’ll more and more From heart with rapture swelling, Before Thy folk and all the world, All my life long be telling. Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs, 1867
