Hymnal: Laudes Domini #824 (1884) Topics: Contentment; Contentment; Contentment First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time;
Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all.

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVI (1799) Topics: Contentment First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind,
As tempest vex the sea;
But calm content and peace we find,
When, Lord, we turn to thee.
2 In vain by reason and by rule,
We try to bend the will;
For none but in the Saviour's school
Can learn the heavn'ly skill.
3 Since at his feet my soul has sat,
His gracious words to hear,
contented with my present state,
I cast on him my care.
4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot,
And will do all things well;
Soon shall I leave this wretched spot,
And rise with him to dwell.
5 In life his grace shall strength supply,
Proportion'd to my day;
In death I still shall find him nigh,
To bear my soul away.
6 Thus I, who once my wretched days
In vain repinings spent;
Taught in my Saviour's school of grace,
Have learn'd to be content.

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Contentment And patience First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules,
That pass for wisdom in the schools,
I strove my passion to refrain;
But all my efforts prov'd in vain.
2 But since the Saviour I have known,
My rules are all reduc'd to one;
I keep my Lord by faith in view,
Which strength supplies and motives too.
3 I see him lead a suff'ring life,
Patient amidst reproach and strife;
And from this pattern courage take
To bear and suffer for his sake.
4 Upon the cross I see him bleed,
And by the fight from guilt am freed;
This fight destroys the life of sin,
And quickens heav'nly life within.
5 To look to Jesus as he rose,
Confirms my faith, disarms my foes;
Satan I shame and overcome,
By pointing to my Saviour's tomb.
6 Exalted on his glorious throne,
I see him make my cause his own;
Then all my anxious cares subside,
For Jesus lives, and will provide.

Docility--Psalm 131
Hymnal: Laudes Domini #817 (1884) Topics: Contentment; Contentment; Contentment First Line: Is there ambition in my heart? Lyrics: 1 Is there ambition in my heart?
Search, gracious God, and see;
Or do I act a haughty part?
Lord, I appeal to thee.
2 I charge my thoughts, be humble still,
And all my carriage mild;
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.
3 The patient soul, the lowly mind,
Shall have a large reward;
Let saints in sorrow lie resigned,
And trust a faithful Lord. Languages: English

"I shall be with Him"
Hymnal: Laudes Domini #671 (1884) Topics: Contentment; Contentment; Contentment First Line: Lord, it belongs not to my care Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve you is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 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?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
No one into his kingdom comes,
But through his opened door.
4 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!
5 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. Languages: English
"I shall be with Him"
