COMMIT THY WAY (Befiehl du deine Wege)
Awake, My Heart, And Marvel
Author: H. Brueckner; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, and marvel
At nature's beauty fair;
The woodlands and the meadows
Are clad with blossoms rare;
The earth is wrapt in sunlight,
The birds with voices clear
Extol their Maker's glory
And fill the world with cheer.
2 Like waters undulating
Our fields of grain are seen,
And zephyrs bear sweet odors
Like breaths from forests green.
We hear the brances whisper
Up in the linden tree,
And now the woodbine arbor
Love's home alone can be.
3 The early summer roses
In rapture we behold,
And ev'ry morn new flowers
Their fragrant buds unfold.
From heaven far above us
Shines down the deepest blue,
And from the earth below us
Spring plants of verdant hue.
4 O heart of mine, throw open
Thy windows wide and far,
Lest from its deep recesses
God's sun of love thou bar.
He who suspends the rainbow
Across the clouded sky
Still with His hands sustains thee
When storms are rising high. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: COMMIT THY WAY

The God Of The Ages Your Refuge
Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The God of the ages your refuge,
No matter how mighty the foe;
Tho' dangers and evils surround you
And threaten wherever you go;
His truth is your shield and your weapon,
A shadow upon your right hand,
A rock of eternal reliance,
Tho' desert and dreary the land.
2 No matter how deeply you've fallen,
Beneath are His powerful arms,
And sin cannot hold nor enslave you,
No matter how potent its charms;
His grace and His mercy uphold you
On wings of His power and might,
Thro' storms and thro' darkness they bear you
To mansions of heavenly light.
3 Then trust in your heavenly Father,
In Jesus, your Savior and Lord,
Whose promise of marvelous blessings
Is found in His merciful Word,
Until, by the grace of the Spirit,
We come to the end of life's way
And feast on the joys of salvation,
The bliss of the heavenly day. Topics: Confirmation Used With Tune: COMMIT THY WAY

There Is A Blessed Power
Author: J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 There is a blessed power
That shields us from all woe,
And like a mighty tower
Protects us from the foe;
It is the faith abiding
In Jesus Christ, our Lord;
It is the faith confiding
In God's own blessed Word.
2 By faith was Moses guided
To reach the promised land
And Israel provided
With manna from God's hand;
In want and tribulation,
Exposed to fire and sword,
God's children found salvation
By faith in Christ, the Lord.
3 When shades of night enclose us
And griefs our hearts dismay,
When foes with might oppose us
And friends our trust betray,
In fear and tribulation
We take the shield of faith,
And with this consolation
We fight the pow'rs of death.
4 Arise, then, all believers,
Lift high this mighty shield;
The strongest arrow shivers
Against its gleaming field;
And ye shall walk protected
From Satan's wiles and might
Until in grace perfected
Ye dwell with God in light. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Used With Tune: COMMIT THY WAY

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; M. Loy Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #538 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever,
My gracious God and Lord;
May I forsake Thee never,
Nor wander from Thy Word:
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust,
And I shall sing Thy praises
Forever with the just.
2 Lord Jesus, bounteous Giver
Of light and life divine,
Thou didst my soul deliver;
To Thee I all resign.
Thou hast in mercy bought me
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.
3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restorest,
Thy comfort ne'er depart.
Let me, His name confessing,
Whom I by faith have known,
Receive Thy constant blessing
And be in death Thine own. Topics: Confirmation Languages: English Tune Title: COMMIT THY WAY
