If You Will Only Let God Guide You

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Neumark Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed Lyrics: 1 If you will only let God guide you, And hope in him through all your ways, Whatever comes, he'll stand beside you,, To bear you through the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that cannot move. 2 Only be still, and wait his leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er the Father's pleasure And all discerning love have sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To him who chose us for his own. 3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from his ways, But do your part in conscience true; Trust his rich promises of grace, So shall they be fulfilled in you; God hears the call of those in need, The souls that trust in him indeed. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Used With Tune: NEUMARK

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives thy service find, In deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word Rise up and follow thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm! Amen. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: REST

Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, And bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there. Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG
