Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: The Worshipbook #500 (1972) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship Lyrics: 1 O God, our faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Give us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant us, Lord, to do,
With ready heart and willing,
Whatever you command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we've wrought,
For you must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life seems dark and cheerless.
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT
O God, Our Faithful God
