If thou but suffer God to guide thee

Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2 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. 3 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. Amen. Used With Tune: ELBE

Jesus, Thy boundless Love to me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 357 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless Love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there. Thine wholly, Thine alone I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies: Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise: O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek but Thee! 3 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there!

Rambach, 1693-1735; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Baptized into your name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among your saints, your chosen host, Buried with Christ and dead to sin. Your Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, there you took me To be henceforth your child and heir. My faithful Savior, there you let me The fruit of all your sorrows share. O Holy Spirit, comfort me When threat'ning clouds around I see. 3 My faithful God, you fail me never; Your promise surely will endure. Oh, cast me not away forever If words and deeds become impure. Have mercy when I come defiled; Forgive, lift up, restore your child. 4 All that I am and love most dearly - Receive it all, O Lord, from me. Let me confess my faith sincerely And help me your own child to be! Let nothing that I am or own Serve any will but yours alone.

Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds mine anchor ever sure; ’Twas laid before the world’s creation In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure; Foundation which unmoved shall stay When Heav’n and earth will pass away. 2. It is that mercy never ending Which human wisdom far transcends, Of Him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3. Our ruin God hath not intended, For our salvation He hath yearned; For this His Son to earth descended And then to Heav’n again returned; For this so patient evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4. O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies Forever Mercy! Mercy! cries. 5. I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6. Though I be robbed of every pleasure That makes my soul and body glad And be deprived of earthly treasure And be forsaken, lone, and sad, Though my desire for help seem vain, His mercy shall with me remain. 7. Though earthly trials should oppress me And cares from day to day increase; Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me And rob me of my Savior’s peace; Though I be brought down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8. When all my deeds I am reviewing, The deeds that I admire the most, I find in all my thought and doing That there is naught whereof to boast. Yet this sweet comfort shall abide— In mercy I can still confide. 9. Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While He my restless heart is stilling, May I His mercy not forget! Come weal, come woe, my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 10. I’ll stand upon this firm foundation As long as I on earth remain; This shall engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain; And then, when face to face with Thee, I’ll sing of mercy, great and free.
