If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Georg Neumark Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in Him through all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
And bear thee through the evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.
2 Only be still, and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
And all-discerning love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,
But do thine own part faithfully;
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee;
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.
Amen. Used With Tune: NEUMARK

O love divine, that stoop'd to share
O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: Rev. George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 677 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And our redeeming God.

The voice that rolls the stars along
Speaks all the promises.

But whisper, "Thou art Mine,"
Those gentle words should raise my song
To notes almost divine.

God is our Refuge and our Strength
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge and our Strength,
In straits a present aid;
Therefore, although the earth remove,
We will not be afraid;
2 Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
Though waters roaring make
And troubled be; yea, though the hills
By swelling seas do shake.
3 A river is, whose streams make glad
The city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
Most high hath His abode.
4 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
And nothing shall her move;
The Lord to her an helper will,
And that right early, prove.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD Text Sources: "Scottish Psalter," 1650

White in His blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.

He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.

To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song. Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX

How good to those who seek!

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Author: S. Stennett Appears in 892 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine. Used With Tune: BELMONT
