What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe
Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #629 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Adversity, rejoicing in; Rejoicing in Adversity Languages: English
What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe
Naked as from the Earth we came
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.V (1766) Topics: Prosperity and Adversity Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the Earth we came,
And crept to Life at first,
We to the Earth return again,
And mingle with our Dust.
2 The dear Delights we here enjoy,
And fondly call our own,
Are but short Favours borrow'd Now,
To be repaid Anon.
3 'Tis God that lifts our Comforts high,
Or sinks them in the Grave,
He gives, and (blessed by his Name)
He takes but what he gave.
4 Peace, all our angry Passions, then
Let each rebellious Sigh
Be silent at his Sov'reign Will,
And ev'ry Murmur die.
5 If smiling Mercy crown our Lives,
Its Praises shall be spread,
And we'll adore the Justice too
That strikes our Comforts dead. Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English

Beside the Great Cathedrals
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #25 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Beside the great cathedrals
we huddle in the rain,
or underneath the bridges
till busy folks complain.
We seek a little shelter,
a coin to buy some bread,
and Jesus waits here with us.
He shares our stony bed.
2 He sings on city sidewalks,
he sits on curbs alone,
he holds a sign and listens
for footsteps on the stone.
He sings down by the river,
a spiritual, a blues,
with mothers and with fathers
who pay no union dues.
3 Friend, have you seen him naked,
in prison, or in pain,
and have you seen him shivering
with us out in the rain?
Friend, have you seen him sleeping
outside cathedral doors,
and have you heard him singing
with those the world ignores?
4 Sit down with us and listen
to stories we can tell
of death and resurrection,
of heaven and of hell.
Then strive to love the beggars
who gather at your door,
and see in us our Savior,
the rabbi of the poor. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARTRES STREET
Beside the Great Cathedrals

In Every Changing State of Mind
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #29 Meter: 8.6.8.6 with refrain Topics: Adversity First Line: By grace we grasp a thread of hope Lyrics: Refrain:
In every changing state of mind
from ecstasy to deep despair,
the Spirit beckons till we find
the strength to pray, the will to care.
1 By grace we grasp a thread of hope
and walk the shifting sand,
until the thread becomes a rope
held fast by Jesus' hand. [Refrain]
2 In barren places we will sing
our dusty voices clear,
and by our daily choices, bring
God's healing presence near. [Refrain]
3 Yes, God is with is where we are,
and knows our deepest fear;
though seeming distant as a star,
our God, in Christ, is here. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLY

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #48 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
4 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame;
the baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE
Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
