Delight in God's house and confidence in him

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my Light Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, my safety, thou my light, What danger shall my soul affright? Strength of my life! what arm shall dare To hurt whom thou hast own'd thy care? 2 One wish, with holy transport warm, My heart has form'd, and yet shall form; One gift I ask; that to my end Fair Sion's dome I may attend; 3 There joyful find a sure abode, And view the beauty of my God; For he within his hallow'd shrine My secret refuge shall assign. 4 When thou with condescending grace, Hast bid me seek thy shining face, My heart reply'd to thy kind word, Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord. 5 Should every earthly friend depart, And nature leave a parent's heart; My God, on whom my hopes depend, Will be my father and my friend. 6 Ye humble souls, in every strait On God with sacred courage wait; His hand shall life and strength afford, O ever wait upon the Lord.

Will he reject the filial pray'r, Or mock him with a cake of stone? 4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more Will thy divine compassions rise; And open thy unbounded store, To satisfy thy children's cries? 5 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press For gracious audience at thy seat; Still hoping, waiting for success, If persevering to entreat. 6 For Jesus in his faithful word The upright supplicant has blest; And all thy saints with one accord The prevalence of pray'r attest.

Trust and confidence; or, looking beyond present appearances

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Let fear to me no more take place! My savior doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus no! I never will give up the shield. 2 Altho' the vine its fruits deny, Altho' the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-tree droop and die, The field illude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Away, each unbelieving fera, Let Fear to cheering hope give place; My Savior will at length appear, And shew the brightness of his face: Tho now my prospects all be crost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Still will I in my Jesus trust, Whose boundless love can reach to me. 4 In hope, believing against hope, His promis'd mercy will I claim, His gracious word shall bear me up, To seek salvation in his name: Sure, my dear Savior, bring it nigh! My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Languages: English

Sometimes a light surprises

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #368 (1870) Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, Yis praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

While thee I seek, protecting Pow'r

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #264 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Pow'r! Be my vain wishes still'd; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be fill'd. 2 Thy love the pow'rs of thought bestow'd; To thee my thoughts would soar. Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd: That mercy I adore. 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because bestow'd by thee. 4 In ev'ry joy that crowns my days, In ev'ry pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in pray'r. 5 When gladness wings my favor'd hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill: Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r, My soul shall meet thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The low'ring storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear: That heart will rest on thee!

Jesus the Anchor of the Soul

His mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth have pass'd away. 2 Father! thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thine heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are; And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead, Tho' every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. 4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay, This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting love.

And let this feeble body fail

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #470 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Christian assurance and confidence in God Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint or die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale, And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest: That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain; And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer on my three-score years Till my Deliv'rer come: And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes, Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright, Who taste the pleasures there! The all are rob'd in spotless white, And conqu'ring palms they bear. 4 O what are all my suff'rings here, If, Lord, thou count me meet, With that enraptur'd host t'appear, And worship at thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.

And in the morning may I bear Thy loving kindness on my heart!
