What more can God say than to you has been said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed, For I am your God, and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, The rivers of woe shall not you overflow; For I will be with you, your troubles to bless, And sanctify to you, your deepest distress. 4 "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!"

Faith Begins by Letting Go

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Ordinary Time, Twenty-Seventh Sunday C Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go, Giving up what had seemed sure, Taking risks and pressing on, Though the way feels less secure: Pilgrimage both right and odd, Trusting all our life to God. 2 Faith endures by holding on, Keeping mem’ry’s roots alive So that hope may bear its fruit; Promise-fed, our souls will thrive, Not through merit we possess But by God’s great faithfulness. 3 Faith matures by reaching out, Stretching minds, enlarging hearts, Sharing struggles, living prayer, Binding up the broken parts: Till we find the commonplace Ripe with witness to God’s grace.

His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:— 1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God. 2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol. 3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare. 4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary. 5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus. Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Sherwin, W. F., p. 1055, i.
