If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #474 (2018) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
and hope in him through all your ways,
he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days:
who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
these never ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee
o'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
the heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still, and wait his leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
4 All are alike before the Highest;
'tis easy to our God, we know,
to raise thee up, though low thou liest,
to make the rich man poor and low;
true wonders still by him are wrought,
who setteth up and brings to naught.
5 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust his Word--though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee;
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted him indeed. Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK
If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee
Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment
Author: Carolina V. Sandell Berg; A. L. Skoog Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #255 (2018) Meter: Irregular Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best--
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Ev'ry day the Lord himself is near me
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me,
he whose name is Counselor and Pow'r.
The protection of his child and treasure
is a charge that on himself he laid;
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me he made.
3 Help me then in ev'ry tribulation
so to trust your promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
offered me within your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
'til I reach the promised land. Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:25 Languages: English Tune Title: BLOTT EN DAG

They suddenly shall leave me.

In sacred peace our souls abide,
While ev'ry nation, ev'ry shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,

Our grief allays, our fear controls;
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.

What if thy form we cannot see;
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel:
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved thee well,
And some have lost the love they had;
4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
5 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man,
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.

No word from thee can fruitless fall:
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in thy mercy heal us all.

While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?

To help me on to God?

Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy Word.

Shall conquer, though they die;

And seize it with their eye.

In robes of vict'ry through the skies,

Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.

How they speak thee fair?

Always watch and prayer?"

"While I breathe I pray!"
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.

Thou art very weary, -
I was weary too;

Some day all mine own,
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne."

Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #487 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the Christian while he sings;

a season of clear shining,

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #506 (1961) Meter: 8.3.3.6.8.3.3.6 Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me?
Christ is near
With his cheer;
Never will he leave me.
Who can rob me of the heaven
That God's Son
For my own
To my faith hath given?
2 God oft gives me days of gladness;
Shall I grieve
If he give
Seasons, too, of sadness?
God is good and tempers ever
All my ill,
And he will
Wholly leave me never.
3 Death cannot destroy for ever;
From our fears,
Cares, and tears
It will us deliver.
It will close life's mournful story,
Make a way
That we may
Enter heav'nly glory.
4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee.
Thou art mine;
I was thine,
Even ere I knew thee.
I am thine, for thou hast bought me;
Lost I stood,
But thy blood
Free salvation brought me.
5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee.
Light of Joy,
Ne'er shall I
From my heart dethrone thee.
Saviour, let me soon behold thee
Face to face,—
May thy grace
Evermore enfold me!

Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness -

cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
