God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,143 hymnals Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs And works His sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own Interpreter, And He will make it plain. Amen. Scripture: John 13:7 Used With Tune: DUNDEE

And let this feeble body fail

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 351 hymnals Topics: The Cross and Comfort In General Need Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it droop or die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought Rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the Cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer on my three-score years Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away His servant's tears, And take His exile home. 3 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright, Who reap the pleasures there; They all are clothed in robes of white, And conquering palms they bear. 4 O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host to appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away; But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Used With Tune: BRUNSWICK

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Appears in 1,074 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish; Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure." 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove. Amen. Used With Tune: ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER

Author: Henry Hart Milman Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give: Help us in thought, and word, and deed, Each hour on earth we live. 2 O help us when our spirits bleed, With contrite anguish sore; And when our hearts are cold and dead, O help us, Lord, the more. 3 O help us, through the prayer of faith, More firmly to believe; For still, the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive. 4 O help us, Jesus, from on high; We know no help but Thee! O help us so to live and die As Thine in heaven to be! Amen. Used With Tune: BEDFORD

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto me: thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done. Used With Tune: CASTLE RISING

Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather

Author: Catherine H. Esling Appears in 277 hymnals Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed; Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned, 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed; Come unto Me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. Used With Tune: [Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather]

Whate'er my God ordains is right

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Holy His will abideth; I will be still, whate’er He doth And follow where He guideth. He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall; Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er my God ordains is right; He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path: I know He will not leave me, And take, content, What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Though now this cup in drinking May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking: Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all. Amen. Used With Tune: WAS GOTT THUT DAS IST WOHLGETAN
