Contentment

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #420 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time: Our country is in every clime: We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

Contentment

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVI (1799) Topics: Contentment First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind, As tempest vex the sea; But calm content and peace we find, When, Lord, we turn to thee. 2 In vain by reason and by rule, We try to bend the will; For none but in the Saviour's school Can learn the heavn'ly skill. 3 Since at his feet my soul has sat, His gracious words to hear, contented with my present state, I cast on him my care. 4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot, And will do all things well; Soon shall I leave this wretched spot, And rise with him to dwell. 5 In life his grace shall strength supply, Proportion'd to my day; In death I still shall find him nigh, To bear my soul away. 6 Thus I, who once my wretched days In vain repinings spent; Taught in my Saviour's school of grace, Have learn'd to be content.

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Contentment And patience First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This fight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Miss Anna L. Waring, 1823-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #496 (1917) Topics: Contentment; Contentment Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know: I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denies; And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified.
