Was Gott Tut, Das Ist Wohlgetan
Author: Samuel Rodigast Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan,
So denken Gottes Kinder.
Er sieht sie oft gar strenge an
Und lieb sie doch nicht minder;
Er zieht ihr Herz nur himmelwärts,
Wenn er sie lässt auf Erden
Ein Ziel der Plagen werden.
2 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan.
Gibt er, so kann man nehmen;
Nimmt er, wir sind nicht übler dran,
Wenn wir uns nur bequemen.
Die Linke schmerzt, die Rechte herzt,
Und beide Hände müssen
Wir doch in Demut küssen.
3 Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan,
Er weist uns oft den Segen,
Und eh er noch gedeihen kann,
Muss sich die Hoffnung legen.
Weil er allein der Schatz will sein,
So macht er andre Güter
Durch den Verlust uns bitter. Used With Tune: GASTORIUS

O Son of God, We Wait for Thee
Author: Philipp Friedrich Hiller; Joseph Augustus Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, we wait for Thee,
We long for Thine appearing;
We know Thou sittest on the throne,
And we Thy Name are bearing.
Who trusts in Thee may joyful be,
And see Thee, Lord, descending
To bring us bliss unending.
2 We wait for Thee, ’mid toil and pain,
In weariness and sighing;
But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne,
And cancelled it by dying.
Hence, cheerfully may we with Thee
Take up our cross and bear it,
Till we the crown inherit.
3 We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won
Our hearts to hope and duty;
But while our spirits feel Thee near,
Our eyes would see Thy beauty;
We fain would be at rest with Thee
In peace and joy supernal,
In glorious life eternal.
4 We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come,
The time is swiftly nearing;
In this we also do rejoice,
And long for Thine appearing.
O bliss ’twill be when Thee we see,
Homeward Thy people bringing,
With ecstasy and singing!

Heavenly Light, Benignly Beaming
Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Heav'nly light, benignly beaming Lyrics: 1 Heav'nly light, benignly beaming,
Breaketh o'er the hopeless earth.
From the Son eternal streaming,
Spring the rays of promise forth.
Light supernal, O how glorious
To our eyes is Thy advance,
Giving us to see God's plans!
2 All unknown to worldly sages,
Who were to His glory blind,
Jesus came, O light of ages,
Day of grace to all mankind!
Truth He brought to ev'ry seeker,
Grace to ev'ry troubled breast,
Man with peace and mercy blest.
3 In a world where lusts contended,
Crimes were bred and bitterness,
Christ appeared; with Him descended
Love divine and holiness.
Hearts were filled with his pure Spirit,
Love bade warring passions cease;
Earth was blest with joy and peace.
4 Blessed they who ever ready
Hear the heavenly Teacher's Word,
They who walk with purpose steady
In the footsteps of the Lord;
Guided by His Holy Spirit,
Led by faith, and not by sight,
They shall gain the realms of light.
5 Lo, their faith and love shall conquer
Vanity and unbelief,
Shedding o'er a word of rancor
Kindly light, to solace grief.
In life's turmoil, in death's shadow
Anchor they their hope secure
On the Rock that shall endure.
6 Radiance of the Father's glory,
Send Thy beams in splendor forth.
Break upon the ages hoary,
Dawn of faith and peace on earth!
Let this world be as the pathway
To that heaven where shall be
Gathered they who walked with Thee.
Amen. Topics: Worship Prayer and Praise; Names and Office of Christ Light; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: JESUS! DU DIG SJÄLF UPPVÄCKTE

God Our Maker, Whose First Summons
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: God our Maker, whose first summons
formed the realms of day and night,
still you speak amid our chaos,
calling us to the truth and right.
When our doubts and fears confound us,
give us faith to bear your light;
give us faith to bear your light.
God the Spirit, breathe upon us,
with new life our souls excite;
let your flame break out among us;
help us claim your urgent might.
With your guarding,guiding presence,
give us hope to bear your light;
give us hope to bear your light.
God incarnate, suffering servant,
sharing in our human plight,
teaching, healing, feeding,
seeking, ever ready to invite;
by your pattern of compassion,
give us grace to bear your light;
give us grace to bear your light.
Triune God, enfolding Mystery
greater than our creeds recite,
join our lives in faith and service,
let our words and deeds unite;
to a world that longs to know you,
give us grace to bear your light;
give us grace to bear your light. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
