Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know the voice that calmed their fury long ago. 3 Be still, my soul! the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever in God's peace; when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, love’s joys restored, our strivings all shall cease.

By All Your Saints Still Striving

Author: Horatio Bolton Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:27-30 Lyrics: 1 By all your saints still striving, for all your saints at rest, your holy name, O Jesus, forevermore be blessed! For those passed on before us, we sing our praise anew and, walking in their footsteps, would live our lives for you. 2 We praise you for the Baptist, forerunner of the Word, our true Elijah, making a highway for the Lord. The last and greatest prophet, he saw the dawning ray of light that grows in splendor until the perfect day. 3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew, the first to welcome you, whose witness to his brother named you Messiah true. May we, with hearts kept open to you throughout the year proclaim to friend and neighbor your advent ever near. 4 For Magdalene we praise you, steadfast at cross and tomb. Your “Mary!” in the garden dispelled her tears and gloom. Apostle to the apostles, she ran to spread the word. Send us to shout the good news that we have seen the Lord! 5 We pray for saints we know not, for saints still yet to be, for grace to bear true witness and serve you faithfully, till all the ransomed number who stand before the throne ascribe all power and glory and praise to God alone.

Bearing the Cross

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,311 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:38 First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be! Perish, every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue; Oh, while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show thy fact, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me; Heaven will bring me sweeter rest! Oh, tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In thy service, pain is pleasure, With thy favor, loss is gain. I have called thee--Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on thee! Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 530 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:31-38 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to take my stand; the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat and burdens of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, my eye by faith can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me. And from my contrite heart, with tears, two wonders I confess: the wonder of his glorious love and my unworthiness. 3 The shadow of your cross, Lord, be my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of your face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, your cross.

Before Your Cross, O Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus, our lives are judged today; the meaning of our eager strife is tested by your way. Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call.
