Take thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to thee may seem; Choose thou my good and ill. 3 Choose thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice, In things or great or small; Be thou my Guide, my Strength, My Wisdom and my All.

Resting in God

Author: K. R. Hagenbach Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Christians Disciplines; Christians Disciplines First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand; Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace, thy inmost soul shall fill Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken Always hath he comfort spoken Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then when or how Only bow.

No care, no vain alarms; Beneath my every cross I find The Everlasting Arms. Used With Tune: TRUST
