If You Will Only Let God Guide You

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Neumark Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 190 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

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

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

I believe sins are forgiven, that our bodies will be raised to eternal life in heaven: ever let his name be praised.

Jeg takker Gud, min kristen Tro

Author: Landstad Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Creed Lyrics: 1 Jeg takker Gud, min kristen Tro Den er saa kjært et Stykke, Al Tid, jeg skal i Verden bo, Den er mit Hjertes Smykke, Og gjemt som Arveguld i Skrin, Til selv han kommer, Herren min, Da lyser op min Lykke! 2 Thi den, som paa gud Fader tror, Han frygter ingen Fare, Han veed, han faar sit Brød paa Bord, Gud vil ham vel bevare, Han eier Trøst i al sin Nød, Og Hjælp i Usseldom og Død; De Tider rinde snare. 3 Og den, som ret paa Kristus tror, Han er Guds Barn det kjære, Har Syndsforladelse og bor Med Fred, hvor det skal være, Mod sine Brødre er han mild, Og vil for dem, som fare vild, En Hjælper gjerne være 4 Og Troen paa Gud Helligaand Hun trøster den, som strider, Hun veed, at Satans Magt og Baand Skal brydes dog omsider, Og at i os Guds Riges Sag Fuldkommes skal til Kristi Dag, Saa frem med Gud det skrider. 5 Saa gaa Guds Børn til Paradis, Det er en Vei saa vakker, Der synger Himlens Hær Guds Pris, Og lover ham og takker, Med dem vil vi af Hjertens Grund Paa Reisen takke al den Stund, Helft nu mod Aften lakker.
