I'm happy with Jesus alone

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. 5 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 4 Year A; Proper 26 Year A Used With Tune: MICHAEL Text Sources: German

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find; raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art: freely let me take of thee, spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

It cannot freely move, till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.

Oh, this froward, selfish will, Which refuses to be still! Oh, these ever-roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise! Oh, those wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but thine! 2 Oh, this stubborn, prayerless knee, Hands so seldom clasped to thee, Longings of the soul, that go Like the wild wind, to and fro! To and fro, without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss, Only adding weariness! 3 Giver of the heavenly peace! Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease; Minister thy holy balm; Fill me with thy Spirit's calm: Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner's guilt, Lead me, lead me, as thou wilt.
