When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Petterson, b. 1931 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
when random death strikes childhood's promise down,
when wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
we know, O God, you leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
and grief becomes the fabric of our days,
dear Lord, you do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
yet you, O God, are with us in our pain;
you grieve with us and for us day by day,
and with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because your Son knew agony and loss,
felt desolation, grief and scorn and shame,
we know you will be with us, come what may,
your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
to trust your grace for courage to endure,
to rest our souls in your supporting love,
and find our hope within your mercy sure.

makes the dead sinner live:
his work completes the great design,
and fills the soul with joy divine.

and the mysterious One:
where reason fails with all her powers,
there faith prevails, and love adores. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Providence; Trinity Sunday Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

When Simplicity We Cherish
Author: Augustus Gottlieb Spangenberg Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:12 Lyrics: 1 When simplicity we cherish,
then the soul is full of light;
but that light will quickly vanish,
when of Jesus we lose sight.
2 Those who Christ alone desiring,
those whom nothing else can cheer
but the joy of his inspiring,
lending to his voice an ear;
3 who in Christ find greatest treasure
and upon his grace depend;
who but want to do his pleasure,
just fulfilling his commands;
4 who to Jesus humbly cleaving,
pay obedience to his word,
who in closest union living
with our Savior, Head, and Lord;
5 who in Jesus Christ abiding,
and from self-dependence free,
in none else but him confiding
walk in true simplicity.
6 Those who are by Christ directed,
trusting the Good Shepherd’s care,
from all harm will be protected,
and no danger need to fear.
