If Thou but Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If you but trust in God to guide you
and place your confidence in him,
you'll find him always there beside you
to give you hope and strength within;
for those who trust God's changeless love
build on the rock that will not move.
2 Only be still and wait his pleasure
in cheerful hope with heart content.
He fills your needs to fullest measure
with what discerning love has sent;
doubt not our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
offer your service faithfully,
and trust his word; though undeserving,
you'll find his promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in him indeed.
Psalter Hymnal, (Gray), 1987 Topics: Chorales; God the Father His Care and Guidance; liturgical Scripture Songs

I Come, O Savior, to Thy Table
Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices
Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I had a thousand voices
To praise my God with thousand tongues!
My heart, which in the Lord rejoices,
Would then proclaim in grateful songs
To all, wherever I might be,
What great things God has done for me.
2 O forest leaves, so green and tender,
That dance for joy in summer air,
O meadow grasses, bright and slender,
O flow'rs, so wondrous sweet and fair,
You live to show his praise alone;
With me now make his glory known.
3 All creatures that have breath and motion,
That fill the earth, the sea, and sky,
Now join me in my heart's devotion;
Help me to raise his praises high.
My utmost pow'rs can never quite
Express the wonders of his might.
4 Lord, I will tell, while I am living,
Your love and grace with ev'ry breath
And greet each morning with thanksgiving
Until my heart is still in death,
And, when at last my lips grow cold,
Your praise shall in my sighs be told. Topics: Worship and Praise; Worship and Praise Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE (KÖNIG) Text Sources: Translation composite

O Joyful Message, Sent From Heaven
Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O joyful message, sent from heaven
To Israel in days of old!
O gracious promise, freely given,
And by inspired seers foretold,
Who prophesied in dismal night:
At eventide it shall be light.
2 Then Shiloh came, the long-expected,
And night was changed to fairest day.
He came to cheer a world dejected
Tho' in a lowly crib He lay,
While o'er Him shone the beaming star
That led the wise men from afar.
3 Down thro' the years the Gospel story
Has shed its brightness far and near,
And Gentile lands behold the glory
Of Christ, the Morning Star so clear.
Salvation's beams dispel the night,
And so at even it is light.
4 O precious hope! With jubilations
We hail Jerusalem on high,
The city fair that hath foundations,
The land of bliss beyond the sky;
There dwell the saints in glory bright,
And evermore it shall be light. Topics: The Church Year Advent Used With Tune: NIELSEN
O Joyful Message, Sent From Heaven
Abide with us, the day is waning
Author: C. J. Boye Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, the day is waning;
Thus prayed the two while on the way;
We read that Thou, 0 Lord, remaining,
Didst all their doubts and fears allay.
Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace,
When, praying thus, we seek Thy face.
2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending,
Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep,
In prayer devout, before Thee bending,
Ere we our eyelids close in sleep,
Confessing sin in deed and word,
With hope of mercy from the Lord.
3 Abide with us; with heavenly gladness
Illumine, Lord, our darkest day;
And when we weep in pain and sadness
Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay;
Tell of Thy woe, Thy victory won,
When Thou didst pray: God's will be done.
4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender,
That bitter day when life shall end,
When to the grave we must surrender,
And fear and pain our hearts shall rend;
The shield of faith do Thou bestow,
When trembling we must meet the foe.
5 When earthly help no more availeth,
To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh;
Thou givest strength that never faileth,
In Thee we grave and death defy:
While earth is fading from our sight,
Our eyes behold the realms of light. Topics: The Church Year Easter; The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: [Abide with us, the day is waning]

The word, O God, Like Dew Restoreth
Author: E. Boye; C. B. Garve Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth
My fainting soul to strength and peace,
And, as a balm, from heaven poureth
And gives my heart from pain surcease;
Oh, make this field of Jesus bear
The fruit of faith through Thy sweet care.
2 Thy Word, O God, like sword and arrow
Cuts through the sinful world's disguise
And piercing even bone and marrow,
Lays bare the heart before Thine eyes;
Let men before its power fall
And unto Thee for mercy call.
3 Thy Word is like the star of glory
That led the wise men on their way;
It tells the world the wondrous story
Of Him who is our Hope and Stay;
Let all behold this glorious star
And reach their home from lands afar.

God's Mighty Wonders
Author: Nils Frykman; Andrew L. Skoog; Andrew T. Frykman Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Our mighty God works mighty wonders Lyrics: 1. Our mighty God works mighty wonders—
What joy, to seem them all around!
Men’s idols fall before His thunders,
Their altars crumbling to the ground.
He breaks the fetters, frees the slaves,
His fallen children still He saves.
2. His mighty Word goes forth to conquer,
Its power destroys the forts of doubt.
The warriors bold yield up their armor
To Him who will not cast them out.
They cleansing find in Jesus’ blood
And laud and magnify our God.
3. Behold the host of brethren nearing
The gates of Heav’n with mighty tread,
With banners waving, singing, cheering,
They hail in joy their Royal Head;
And many more shall own His reign,
His wondrous love the victory gain.
4. O God, be praised! the day is nearing,
When to our ears a voice shall come,
Look up, the Lord is now appearing,
To gather all His loved ones home!
O blessèd day of jubilee!
For thee I wait! I wait for thee! Used With Tune: CELEBRATION Text Sources: Sanningsvitnet, April 13, 1877
