How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #403 (2001) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs,
Have all lost their sweetness to me.
The midsummer sun shines but dim;
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in Him,
December's as pleasant as May.
2 His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music His voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice;
I should, were He always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I;
My summer would last all the year.
3 Content with beholding His face,
My all to His pleasure resigned,
No changes of seasons or place
Would make any change in my mind.
While blest with a sense of His love,
A palace a toy would appear;
And prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.
4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
If Thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winter so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky;
Thy soul-cheering presence restore,
Or take me unto Thee on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more. Scripture: Zechariah 10:2 Languages: English Tune Title: DE FLEURY

Search, gracious God, and see;

And all my carriage mild;
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.

And trust a faithful Lord. Scripture: Psalm 131:1 Languages: English Tune Title: NOX PRAECESSIT

By waters still, o'er troubled sea,

Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. (Refrain)

E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,

Father, I know that all my life
Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #444 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Contentment Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me;
The changes that are sure to come,
I do not fear to see:
I ask thee for a present mind,
Intent on pleasing thee.
2 I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
3 I ask thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life,
While keeping at thy side,
Content to fill a little space,
If thou be glorified.
4 In service which thy will appoints
There are no bonds for me;
My secret heart is taught the truth
That makes thy children free;
A life of self-renouncing love
Is one of liberty.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 4:11 Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM

To bear my cross at home,
While others bear their burdens
Beyond the billow’s foam,

I’ll go anywhere! [Refrain]

The judgments of my Lord,
It is but mine to follow
The leadings of His word;

Or whether here or there,
