O Father, Faithful God, to Thee
Faithful God! I lay before Thee
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #117 (1732) Lyrics: Part the First:
I. Faithful God! I lay before Thee
All the Anguish of my Heart:
Tho' thou know'st how Grief has tore me,
Better than I can impart:
Lord! my Weakness makes me cry,
In Temptation when I vye
With the Fiend, that would bereave me
Of the Faith design'd to save me.
II. Thou! from whom Nought is conceald,
Know'st how vain's my Care and Strife;
In thy Word thou hast revealed,
That free Grace restores my Life:
All the Good I find in me,
Doth proceed alone from Thee;
Thou thy saving Health bestowest
On those thou in mercy knowest.
III. Unto thee, my God! I'm crying,
In this great Necessity;
Hear my deep and frequent Sighing,
Cast me not away from thee.
Satan's malice overthrow,
Strengthen me against the Foe;
Ever keep my Faith from failing,
JESUS! make thy Grace prevailing.
IV. JESU! Source of our Adoption,
Thou, who never didst reject
Those that mourn their sad Corruption,
But dost all thy sons direct:
Tho' our Faith as small, through Fear,
As a Mustard Seed appear,
Thou canst make it O Faith's Fountain,
Mighty to remove a Mountain.
V. Let me find, O my Redeemer!
Mercy in mine Agony;
Make me conquer the Blasphemer,
And break from his Slavery:
Strength of Faith add by thy word;
Grant to me thy Spirit's Sword;
Thus shall Satan be deceived,
And his Darts of Paints bereaved.
VI. Holy Ghost, of equal Honour,
With the Father and the Son,
Of all Gifts the only Donor,
Hear me from thy Holy Throne;
Through thy Mercy I believe;
Let me not my self deceive,
But depend in my Unfitness
On thy all-sufficient Greatness.
VII. Rouze me up from present Dullness;
Thy good Work in me advance;
And relieve me, from the Fullness
Of thy gracious Countenance:
In me keep the Spark of Grace,
That with Joy I run the Race,
And obtain the Prize of SION,
Which I ever keep my Eye on.
Part the Second:
VII. Greatest GOD! beyond Relation,
Ever blessed ONE in THREE!
Thou alone art my Salvation,
Strengthen mine Infirmity:
Quench thou Satan's fiery Dart,
E'er it reach my trembling Heart,
Lest the Want of Consolation
Drive me into Desperation.
IX. Guard me from his vile Devices,
Which thou know'st are numberless;
Keep me free, when he intices,
From a fatal Carelessness:
Grant me such a Strength that I
May withstand him valiantly,
And avoid his secret paces,
Thro' thine all-sufficient Graces.
X. Reach thy Hand to thy frail Creature,
That is now in Terror fast,
Shrinking under feeble Nature,
Till the mighty Storm is past.
Lead me by the Holy Ghost,
So that Satan may not boast
Of his having disappointed
Me, thy Child, thou hast anointed.
XI. Come, O Mighty, whom I wait on;
Be my Rock and Confidence;
I've not Strength to combat SATAN.
Raise me to some Eminence;
And relieve me with thy Shield,
That I may obtain the Field,
Overcome that grand Destroyer,
That has ever been a Lyar.
XII. All my Life shall be employed
In thy Praise, with all my Might,
That the Fiend has been destroyed,
And with Shame has lost the Fight:
Glorious shall thy Mercy be,
Here, and in Eternity;
Heav'n and Earth, O great Jehovah!
Shall resound with Hallelujah.

O God, Thou faithful God
Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #28 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fount that ever flowest,
Without whom nothing is,
who all good gifts bestowest;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,

3 O let me never speak
What bounds of truth exceedeth;
Grant that no idle word
From out my mouth proceedeth;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,

In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
O this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure untarnished fame.
7 Let me depart this life
Confiding in my Saviour;
Do Thou my soul receive,
That it may live forever;
And let my body have
A quiet resting-place
Beside a Christian's grave,
And let it sleep in peace.
8 And on that solemn day,
When all the dead are waking,
Stretch o'er my grave Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: [O God, Thou faithful God]

In God, my faithful God
Author: Weingärtner Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #147 (1863) Lyrics:
In God, my faithful God,
I trust when dark my road;
Though many woes o'ertake me,
Yet He will not forsake me;
His love it is doth send them,
And when 'tis best will end them.
My sins assail me sore,
But I despair no more;
I build on Christ who loves me,
From this Rock nothing moves me,
Since I can all surrender
To Him, my soul's Defender.
If death my portion be,
Then death is gain to me,
And Christ my life for ever,
From whom death cannot sever;
Come when it may, He'll shield me,
To Him I wholly yield me.
Ah, Jesus Christ, my Lord,
So meek in deed and word,
Thou diedst once to save us,
Because Thou fain wouldst have us
After earth's life of sadness
Heirs of Thy heavenly gladness.
'So be It,' then I say,
With all my heart each day;
Guide us while here we wander,
Till safely landed yonder,
We too, dear Lord, adore Thee,
And sing for joy before Thee.

O God, Thou Faithful God
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #395 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever flowing,
Who good and perfect gifts
In mercy art bestowing,
Give us a healthy frame,
And may I have within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin!
2 Grant Thou me strenth to do,
With ready heart and willing
Whate’er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling;
And do it when I ought,
With all my might, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 Oh, let me never speak
What bounds of truth exceedeth;
Grant that no idle word
From out my mouth proceedeth;
And then, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words grant pow'er and grace
Lest I offend the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross
When life is dark and cheerless;
And let me win my foe
With words and actions kind.
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me with all men,
As far as in me lieth,
In peace and friendship live.
And if Thy gift supplieth
Great wealth and honor fair,
Then this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 If Thou a longer life
Hast here on earth decreed me;
If Thou through many ills
To age at length wilt lead me,
Thy patience on me shed.
Avert all sin and shame
And crown my hoary head
With honor free from blame.
7 Let me depart this life
Confiding in my Savior;
Do Thou my soul receive
That it may live forever;
And let my body have
A quiet resting-place
Within a Christian grave;
And let it sleep in peace.
8 And on that solemn Day
When all the dead are waking,
Stretch o’er my grave Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking.
Then let me hear Thy voice,
Change Thou this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.
