If thou suffer God to guide thee
Author: George Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 179 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. Used With Tune: NEUMARK (Wer nur den lieben Gott)
If thou suffer God to guide thee
The Lord my Shepherd is
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 579 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied:
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e'er I go astray,
He doth my Soul reclaim;
And guides me in His own right way,
For His most holy Name.
4 While He affords His aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death's dark shade,
My Shepherd's with me there.
5 The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
The Lord my Shepherd is
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 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
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Savior, teach me, day by day
Author: Jane E. Leeson Appears in 457 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Savior, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
2 With a childlike heart of love,
At Thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow Thee,
Loving Him Who first loved me.
3 Teach me all Thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in Thy grace;
Learning how to love from Thee;
Loving Him who first loved me.
4 Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving Him who first loved me.
5 Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till Thy face I see,
Of His love who first loved me.
Used With Tune: HORTON
Savior, teach me, day by day
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And at our fathers' loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Used With Tune: IRISH
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 998 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
4 When nature fails, and day and night
Divide Thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercy shall adore.
5 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
For oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise. Used With Tune: ST. MARTIN
When all Thy mercies, O my God
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 438 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father’s will:
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on; ’tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises-- what are men?
3 Go, labor on; enough, while here,
If He shall praise thee, if He deign
The willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom’s voice,
The midnight peal: "Behold, I come!" Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 552 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks He shall attend
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Appears in 610 hymnals Topics: Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine;
Into Thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
Conduct me as Thine own;
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
Give me Thy people’s bread,
Their portion rich and sure
The manna of Thy Word
Let my soul feed upon;
And if all else should fail
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
4 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
When death itself draws nigh,
To Thy dear wounded side
I would for refuge fly.
Leaning on Thee, to go
Where Thou before hast gone.
The rest as Thou shalt please;
My Lord, Thy will be done!
5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee.
Thus to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing, in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Used With Tune: JEWETT
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Zion's city is in sight:
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.

On the borders of your land;

Bids you undismayed go on.

Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we will still follow Thee. Used With Tune: [Children of the heavenly King]
