Ah! Lord our God, let them not be confounded

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #336 (1893) Meter: 11.5 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 AH! LORD our God, let them not be confounded Who, though be want, and woe, and pain surrounded, Yet day and night still for Thy hope are sighing, To Thee are crying. 2 But put to shame Thy foes, who breathe defiance, And make their own vain might their sole reliance; O turn in mercy to Thy generation, Lord have compassion! 3 Against our foes some succor quickly send us; It Thou but speak the word, they shall not end us, But change to friends, lay down their arms forever, And rally never. 4 We stand bereft of help, and poor and lonely. 'Twere vain to trust in man;--with Thee, Lord, only We may defeat the enemies around us Who seek to wound us. 5 Thou art our Champion who canst overthrow them, And save the little flock now crushed below them, We trust in Thee; for Jesus' sake be near us! Help, Helper hear us! Languages: English

Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #340 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 DEAR Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 4 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner's prayer; O may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there!

I leave all things to God's direction

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #348 (1893) Meter: 9.8.8 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 I LEAVE all things to God's direction, He loveth me in weal and woe; His will is good, true His affection, With tender love His heart doth glow. My Fortress and my Rock is He: What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me. 2 My God hath all things in His keeping, He is the ever faithful Friend, He grants me laughter after weeping, And all His ways in blessings end. His love endures eternally: What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me. 3 The will of God shall be my pleasure, While here on earth is mine abode; My will is wrong beyond all measure, It doth not will what pleaseth God. The Christian's maxim e'er must be: What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me. 4 God knows what must be done to save me, His love for me will never cease, For He upon His palms did grave me With purest gold of living grace. Avaunt, my own will, off with thee! What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me. 5 My God desires the soul's salvation, Me also He desires to save; Therefore, with Christian resignation, All earthly troubles I will brave. His will be done eternally: What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me. Languages: English

In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #358 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 O THOU, from whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me! 2 When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, Thy pardon speak, new peace impart; In love remember me. 3 Temptations sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee; O give me strength, Lord, as my day For good remember me! 4 Distrest with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble body see; Grant patience, rest, and kind relief; Hear, and remember me! 5 When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree; Be this the prayer of my last breath, Good Lord, remember me! 6 And when before Thy throne I stand And lift my soul to Thee; Then with the saints at Thy right hand, Good Lord, remember me!

Oft in sorrow, oft in woe

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #359 (1893) Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 OFT in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go; Bear the toil, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of life. 2 Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not woe your course impede, Great your help, if great your need. 3 Let your drooping hearts be glad; March, in heavenly armor clad; Fight, nor think the battle long, Victory soon shall tune your song. 4 Onward then to battle move, More than conquerors ye shall prove; Though begirt with many a foe, Onward, Christians, onward go!

Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #361 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 THY ways, O Lord! with wise design Are framed upon Thy throne above, And every dark and bending line Meets in the center of Thy love. 2 With feeble light and half obscure, Poor mortals Thine arrangements view; Not knowing that the least are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care, Though now they seem to roam uneyed; Are led or drive only where They best and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way; But whilst they trust Thy guardian eye, Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favored soul shall meekly learn To lay her reason at Thy throne; Too weak Thy secrets to discern, I'll trust Thee for my guide alone.

Whate'er God will, let that be done

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #362 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Topics: The Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 WHATE'ER God will, let that be done; His will is ever wisest; His grace will all thy hope outrun Who to that faith arisest. The gracious Lord Will help afford, He chastens with forbearing; Who God believes, And to Him cleaves, Shall not be left despairing. 2 My God is my sure Confidence, My Hope and my Existence; His counsel is beyond my sense, Yet I'll not make resistance. His Word declares The very hairs Upon my head are numbered; His mercy large Holds me in charge, With care that never slumbered. 3 The time has come when, at His will, My life in this world ceases; I think upon it, and am still, Let come whate'er He pleases. To Him I trust My soul, my dust, When flesh and spirit sever. The Christ we sing Has plucked the sting Away from death forever. 4 Yet one thing, Lord, I ask of Thee, O grant my supplication: When Satan sorely tempteth me, Save me from desperation. O God my Lord, True to Thy Word, Do Thou my soul deliver! Who doth believe, He shall receive. Thy name be praised forever! Languages: English
