O resignation, heavenly power
Hymnal: The New Hymn Book, Designed for Universalist Societies #381 (1833) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation
O resignation, heavenly power
Resignation? or God our portion
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Resignation First Line: My times of sorrow and of joy Lyrics: 1 My times of sorrow and of joy,
Great God, are in thy hand;
My choicest comforts come from thee
And go at thy command.
2 If thou shouldst take them all away,
Yet would I not repine;
Before they were possess'd by me,
They were entirely thine.
3 Now would I drop a murmuring word,
Tho' the whole world were gone,
But seek enduring happiness
In thee, and thee alone.
4 What is the world with all its store?
'Tis but a bitter-sweet;
When I attempt to pluck the rose,
A piercing thorn I meet.
5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found,
The honey's mixt with gall;
Midst changing scenes and dying friends,
Be thou my all in all.

Thy wealth the needy world supplies;
On thee alone the whole depends,
Thy care to ev'ry part extends.

For all our comforts here below;
Our daily bread thy bounty gives,
And ev'ry rising want relieves.
3 The wastes of life thy pow'r repairs,
Thy mercy stills tempestuous cares,
And safe beneath thy guardian arm
We live secur'd from ev'ry harm.
4 To thee we cheerful homage bring,
In grateful hymns thy praises sing,
Direct to thee our waiting eyes,
And humbly look for fresh supplies.
5 We still our indigent and poor,
Indebted much, yet lacking more;
On thee we ever will depend,
The rich, the sure, the faithful friend.
6 And, should thy measures seem severe,
Calmly may we thy chast'ning bear,
Without complaint to thee submit,
Th' unerring Judge of what is fit.

I'll set a double guard that day,

Thou maker of my frame;

In all his flower and prime.
3 See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o'er the plain;
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
4 Some walk in honour's gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore,
They toil for heirs, they know not who,
And strait are seen no more.

From creatures, earth and dust?

And disappoint our trust.

My fond desires recal;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7 Languages: English

And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
3 The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
4 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' piercéd feet,
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear name repeat.

It still will be the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.
3 I dare not choose my lot:
I would not, if I might;
Choose Thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright.
4 The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine: so let the way
That leads to it be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.
5 Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my cares for me,
My poverty or wealth.

My Wisdom, and my All. Languages: English

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #349 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Resignation Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with Thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time;
Our country is in every clime!
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all. Languages: English
O Lord, how full of sweet content
My faith looks up to Thee
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #364 (1870) Topics: Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Resignation Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3 While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow’s tears away;
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransom'd soul! Languages: English

Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest:
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;:
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me;
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee. Languages: English
My spirit on Thy care
I look to Jesus, and the face
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #372 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Resignation Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face
Of God is turn'd on me in love,
I feel a Father's fond embrace,
And all my doubts and fears remove.
2 I look to Jesus, and behold!
My heart is lighten'd of its cares,
My love for earthly things grows cold,
And pleasure vainly spreads her snares.
3 I look to Jesus, and the sight
Of all that He endured for me,
Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light,
Compared with His deep agony.
4 I look to Jesus when my zeal
And faith and love grow dead and cold;
Then doth He Calvary reveal,
And makes me in His service bold.
5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last,
In faith look ever up to Thee,
And when life's sinful days are past
I shall Thy face in glory see. Languages: English
I look to Jesus, and the face
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Resignation Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of His countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that His presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round:
They bear me away in His presence to be:
I see Him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
I shall know how His love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away. Languages: English
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #374 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fruits of the Spirit patience and resignation; Resignation Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
No one into His kingdom comes,
But through His open'd door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blesséd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days,
And join with all triumphant saints
Who sing my Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Languages: English

By sins and fears opprest,
I turn me to my Rest again,
My soul's eternal Rest:
2 The Lamb that died for me,
And still my load doth bear,--
To Jesus' streaming wounds I flee,
And find my quiet there.
3 Jesus, was ever grief,
Was ever love like Thine?
Thy sorrow, Lord, is my relief,
Thy life hath ransom'd mine.

And soar to things above,
And spend a blest eternity
In praise of dying Love. Languages: English

However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me;
2 Smooth let it be or rough,
It still will be the best,
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.
3 I dare not choose my lot;
I would not, if I might:
Choose Thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright.
4 The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine; so let the way
That leads to it be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.
5 Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.

My wisdom, and my all. Languages: English Tune Title: IBSTONE

Calm resignation we implore;
O let no murmuring thought arise,
But humbly let us still adore.
2 With meek submission may we bear
Each needful cross thou shalt ordain;
Nor think our trials too severe,
Nor dare thy justice to arraign.
3 For though mysterious now thy ways
To erring mortals may appear,
Hereafter we thy name shall praise
For all our keenest sufferings here.
4 Thy needful help, O God, afford,
Nor let us sink in deep despair;
Aid us to trust thy sacred word,
And find our sweetest comfort there. Tune Title: YORK

Is there ambition in my heart?.
Search, gracious God, and see;
Or do I act a haughty part?
Lord, I appeal to thee.
I charge my thoughts, be humble still,
And all my carriage mild,
Content, my Father, with thy will,
And quiet as a child.
The patient soul, the lowly mind,
Shall have a large reward:
Let saints in sorrow lie resigned,
And trust a faithful Lord.

My son give unto me thy heart!
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCC (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Resignation of the Heart Lyrics: 1 My son give unto me thy heart!
Delight thou in my ways:
I will receive thee as thou art,
And fit thee for my praise.
2 Dear Lord, I give my heart to thee,
To thee I will resign;
Create a holy heart in me,
And let it be like thine.
3 Dear Father, let me be thine own;
And make me wise to know
The duties of a faithful son,
Who seeks thy will to do.
4 Subdue in me my base desires,
Since they disturb my peace,
And as they blessed will requires,
Seek for true holiness.
5 To whom but thee should I submit
With all my heart and mind;
When truly humbled at thy feet
The greatest rest I find.
6 To none but thee my gracious Lord
I trust myself to give;
But I will yield unto thy word,
By which my soul can live.

My son give unto me thy heart!
