Author: Sophia v. Dänemark Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Consolation Songs Lyrics: 1 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, sein Herze bricht vom Lieben; pflegt er gleich oftermal die Seinen zu betrüben. Er prüfet durch das Kreuz, wie rein der Glaube sei, wie standhaft die Geduld; Gott ist und bleibt getreu. 2 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, er hilft ja selber tragen, was er uns aufgelegt, die Last der schweren Plagen; er braucht die Ruthe oft, und bleibet doch dabei ein Vater, der uns liebt. Gott ist und bleibt getreu. 3 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, er weiß, was wir vermögen; er pfleget nie zu viel dem schwachen aufzulegen. Er macht sein Israel von Last und Banden frei; wenn große Noth entsteht. Gott ist und bleibt getreu. 4 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, er tröstet nach dem Weinen, er läßt für trübe Nacht die Freudensterne scheinen; der Sturm, des Kreuzes Sturm geht Augenblicks vorbei; sei, Seele, nur getrost: Gott ist und bleibt getreu. 5 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, er stillet dein Begehren, er will dein Glaubensgold in Trübsalsglut bewähren; nimm an von Gottes Hand den Kreuzkelch ohne Scheu, der Lebensbecher folgt. Gott ist und bleibt getreu. 6 Gott ist und bleibt getreu, laß alle Wetter krachen, Gott wird der Trübsal doch ein solches Ende machen, daß alles Kreuz und Noth dir ewig nützlich sei. So liebt der Höchste dich. Gott ist und bleibt getreu.

Civilla D. Martin

1866 - 1948 Person Name: C. D. Martin Topics: Comfort and Consolation; Comfort and Consolation Author of "Be Not Dismayed Whate'er Betide" in The Majestic Hymnal, number two Martin, Civilla Durfee (Jordan Falls, Nova Scotia, August 21, 1866--March 9, 1948, Atlanta, Georgia). Daughter of James N. and Irene (Harding) Holden. She married Rev. John F. Geddes, Congregational minister of Coventryvilee, N.Y. at Jordan Falls Methodist Church, Shelbourne Co., Nova Scotia, on May 19, 1891. There is thus far no information about their marriage and its end. After several years of teaching school, she married Walter Stillman Martin, a Baptist minister, and traveled with him in evangelistic work. However, because of frail health, she was compelled to remain home much of the time. In 1916, they became members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They had one son, A.G. Martin. In her writing, she used only her initials, "C.D." rather than her full name of that of her composer-husband. She is reputed to have written several hundred hymns and religious songs. Her first one, "God Will Take Care of You," written in 1904 became world-famous. Her husband wrote the music for this and many of her other hymns. "His Eye is on the Sparrow" written in 1906 and set to music by Charles H. Gabriel, has also received wide acclaim. In addition to the above, "Like As A Father," "A Welcome for Me," and "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" are among her better-known hymns. Her husband and collaborator, W.S. Martin (1862-1935) preceded her in death. For the last 29 years of her life, she made her home in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was a member of the First Christian Church. Her funeral was held on March 10, 1948 at Spring Hill and the interment was in the West View Cemetery in Atlanta. --Carlton C. Buck, DNAH Archives and email from Rev. Lester M.
