Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before: He that into God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 3 Then I shall end my sad complaints, And weary sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints, That sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that Life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him. Used With Tune: OLD 137TH PSALM

If thou suffer God to guide thee

Author: George Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him thro' all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, And bear thee thro' the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love, Builds on the rock that none can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er Thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 4 He knows the time for joy, and truly Will send it when He sees it meet, When He has tried and purged thee duly, And finds thee free from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee own His loving care. 5 Nor think, amid the heat of trial, That God hath cast thee off unheard; That he whose hopes meet no denial Must surely be of God preferred; Time passes and much change doth bring And sets a bound to everything. 6 All are alike before the Highest; 'Tis easy to our God, we know, To raise thee up, though low thou liest, To make the rich man poor and low: True wonders still by Him are wrought Who setteth up and brings to nought. 7 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving, So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His Word, though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee; God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted Him indeed.

O Menneske, vil du betænke

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O Menneske, vil du betænke Min bitre Pine og Død, Jeg vil dig igjen skjænke Liv for den evig' Død; Til mig skal du dig holde, Jeg haver Alt at volde, Jeg er den, dig har frelst. 2 Jeg har dig ikke betalet Med Sølv eller Guld saa rød, Men dig fra Djævelen taget Alt med min Pine og Død; Hvi est du da saa blinder, Og ei min Godhed kjender? Du selv forkaster dig. 3 Du attraar Verdens Ære, For den gjør du dig Flid, Man mine Bud at lære, Dertil har du ei Tid; Thi Verden, som dig skal daare, Den har du kjær saa saare, Mig har du slet forgjet. 4 Hvo Rigdom elsker mere End min Naade og Godhed, Hans Anslag skal ham besnære, Og blive ham evig led; Den Rigdom, som ei kan svige, Den findes i Himmerige, Os alle til Salighed. 5 Derfor lad dig nu nøie, O Menneske, hvo du est! Jeg skal dig vel tilføie Alt det dig tjener bedst; Din Salighed ei forsømme! Jeg skal dig ei forglemme Hos mig til evig Tid. 6 Se Liljerne i Enge, Hvor deilig' de mon staa! De har ei kjøbt for Penge Den Herlighed, de har paa: Selv Salomon var ikke Udi sit Kongesmykke Klædt saa som en af dem. 7 Se og til Himlens Fugle, Hvor Gud forsyner dem, De Dyr i deres Hule Har deres Føde af ham, Navnunger i deres Rede Han gier nok at æde, At ei de sulte ihjel. 8 Thi sørger ei og græder, I, mine Tjener kjær, For Føde og for Klæder! Jeg eders Sorrig b"r; Jeg vil eder vel forsyne, Agt I kun Ordene mine, Og hav eders Tro til mig. 9 Er Himmel og Jord da mine, Al Herlighed dertil, Hvi skulde jeg ei forsyne Dem, paa mig lide vil? Jeg Israel har bespiset, Og rette Vei dem viset Til det forjætted' Land. 10 Lad eder da paaminde, Og agt det ei for Skjemt! I skal det aldrig befinde, At jeg mit Folk har glemt; Forgjævers har Ingen raabet, Som paa mig haver haabet: Thi blive kun fast hos mig! 11 Tak, Lov, Pris, Hæder og Ære Ske Gud i Evighed For sin guddommelig' Lære, Som han har os beted! Han unde os, at vi kunde Hans Godhed ret begrunde Os alle til Salighed!
