Contentment

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #420 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: O Lord, how full of sweet content Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time: Our country is in every clime: We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

Contentment

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVI (1799) Topics: Contentment First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind, As tempest vex the sea; But calm content and peace we find, When, Lord, we turn to thee. 2 In vain by reason and by rule, We try to bend the will; For none but in the Saviour's school Can learn the heavn'ly skill. 3 Since at his feet my soul has sat, His gracious words to hear, contented with my present state, I cast on him my care. 4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot, And will do all things well; Soon shall I leave this wretched spot, And rise with him to dwell. 5 In life his grace shall strength supply, Proportion'd to my day; In death I still shall find him nigh, To bear my soul away. 6 Thus I, who once my wretched days In vain repinings spent; Taught in my Saviour's school of grace, Have learn'd to be content. Scripture: Philippians 4:11 Languages: English

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Contentment And patience First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This fight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Miss Anna L. Waring, 1823-1910 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #496 (1917) Topics: Contentment; Contentment Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know: I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. 5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denies; And a mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified.

You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest, As you yield him your body and soul. 2 Would you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, And have peace and contentment alway? You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill, On the altar your all you must lay.

"Looking unto Jesus"

Author: John N. Darby Hymnal: Laudes Domini #336 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in his presence to be: I see him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then, shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; Shall know how his love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.

Psalm 23

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #337 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed. 2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near. 3 In the midst of affliction, my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er; With perfume and oil thou anointest my head; Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God! Still follow my steps till I meet thee above; I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod Through the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love. Languages: English

"Faint, yet pursuing"

Author: John N. Darby Hymnal: Laudes Domini #338 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way Lyrics: 1 Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way; The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay; Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? 2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint; The weak, and oppressed--he will hear their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter? our help is in God! 3 And to his green pastures our footsteps he leads; His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds! The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears, And brings back the wanderers all safe from the snares. 4 Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Though storms rage around us, our God is our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our home!

Our Master

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #339 (1890) Topics: Contentment; Contentment First Line: Art thou weary, art thou languid Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed? "Come to me," saith One, "and coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath he marks to lead me to him, If he be my Guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, And his side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That his brow adorns? "Yes, a crown, in very surety; But of thorns." 4 If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes."
