From God Shall Naught Divide Me

Author: L. Helmbold, 1532-98; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye, And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray; His ever bounteous hand By night and day is heedful, And gives me what is needful, Wheree'er I go or stand. 2 When man's help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection And shows His pow'r and love. He helps in ev'ry need, From sin and shame redeems me, From chains and bonds reclaims me, Yea, e'en from death I'm freed. 3 If sorrow comes, I'll bear it In patience and in trust; My Lord Himself doth share it, For He is true and just, And loves to bless us still; My life and soul--I owe them To Him who doth bestow them, Let Him do as He will. 4 Whate'er shall be His pleasure Is surely best for me; He gave His dearest treasure, That our weak hearts might see How good His will toward us; And in His Son He gave us Whate'er could bless and save us; Praise Him who loveth thus! 5 O praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; O blest the hour whenever To Him our thoughts can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 6 For when the world is passing With all its pomp and pride, All we were here amassing No longer may abide; But in our earthly bed, Where softly we are sleeping, God hath us in His keeping, To wake us from the dead. 7 Our soul shall never perish, But in yon paradise The joys of heav'n shall cherish; Our body shall arise Pure, holy, new-born, free From ev'ry sin and evil; The tempting of the devil We then no more shall see. 8 Then, though on earth I suffer Much trial, well I know I merit ways still rougher; Yet 'tis to heav'n I go; For Christ I know and love, To Him I now am hasting, And gladness everlasting With Him my heart shall prove. 9 For such His will who made us; The Father seeks our good; The Son hath grace to aid us, And save us by His blood; His Spirit rules our ways, By faith in us abiding, To heav'n our footsteps guiding; To Him be thanks and praise.

Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 ; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O watch and pray, My soul, the way Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the Word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Ev'ry thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclines, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward, Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming! Topics: Confirmation: Perseverance; Trinity 20 Used With Tune: O TRAURIGKEIT

Thou knowest my heart and my innermost thought, The words I have spoken, the deeds I have wrought, My errors and failings I deeply regret, Forgive and restore, Forgive and restore! 4 I ask for no more; My light I extinguish and fasten the door, And seeking my chamber, betake me to rest; Assured that my slumber this night will be blest, I fondly confide to Thy care and control My body and soul, My body and soul.

Lo! all the hosts of the sky Bow down and worship before Him! 3 Praise to the Spirit, whose strong, rushing wind, ever blowing, Still through the world, wheresoever it wisheth, is going.

We, too, would fain Echoing humbly the strain, Praise Thee for ever and ever. Topics: Invocation

A Virgin mild Hath borne this Child; Such grace and glory God hath put upon her. 3 Sin brought us grief, But Christ relief, When down to earth He came for our salvation. Since God with us Is dwelling thus, Who dares to speak the Christian's condemnation? 4 Then hither throng With happy song To Him whose birth and death are our assurance; Through whom are we At last set free From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance. 5 Yea, let us praise Our God and raise Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us. The bliss bestowed Today by God To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us. Topics: Nativity of our Lord

I know from death Thou wilt my dust awaken; Wherefore should I dread the grave Or my faith be shaken? 4 To me the tomb Shall be a room Where I lie down on roses; Who by faith hath conquered death Sweetly there reposes. 5 Meantime I will My Savior, still Deep in my bosom lay Thee, Ever musing on Thy death. Leave me not, I pray Thee! Topics: Jesus, Our Redeemer

Thy Way and All Thy Sorrows

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; A. T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way and all thy sorrows, Give thou into His hand, His gracious care unfailing, Who doth the heav’ns command; Their course and path He giveth To clouds and air and wind; A way thy feet may follow, He too for thee will find. 2 On Him be Thy reliance, As thou would'st prosper well; To make thy work enduring Thy mind on His must dwell. God yieldeth naught to sorrow And self tormenting care; Naught, naught with him availeth; No power save that of pray'r. 3 Thy truth and grace, O Father, Behold and surely know, Both what is good and evil, For mortal man below: And whatso'e'er Thou choosest Thou dost, great God, fulfill, And into being bringest Whate'er is in Thy will. 4 Thy way is ever open; Thou dost on naught depend; Thine act is only blessing, Thy path light without end. Thy work can no man hinder; Thy purpose none can stay, Since Thou to bless Thy children Through all dost make a way. 5 In vain the pow'rs of darkness Thy will, O God, oppose; High over all undoubting, Thy pleasure onward goes. Whate'er Thy will resolveth, Whate'er Thou dost intend, Its destined work performeth True to its aim and end. 6 Then hope, my feeble spirit, And be thou undismayed; God helps in ev'ry trial, And makes thee unafraid. Await God's time with pleasure, Then shall thine eyes behold The sun of joy and gladness His brightest beams unfold. 7 Arise, arise! thy sadness, Thy cares send far away; Away each thought afflicting That on the heart doth prey. Not in thy hands the guidance Of all events doth dwell; God on His throne o'erruleth, He guideth all things well. 8 Leave all to His direction; In wisdom He doth reign; Thy wonder far exceeding, He will His course maintain; So He as Him beseemeth, With wonder-working skill, Shall put away the sorrows That now thy spirit fill. 9 Awhile His consolation He will to thee deny, And seem as though in spirit He far from thee would fly; Awhile distress and anguish Shall compass thee around, Nor to thy supplication An answ'ring voice be found. 10 But if thou ne'er forsake Him, Thou shalt deliv'rance find; Behold all unexpected, He will thy soul unbind. He from thy heavy burden Will soon thy heart set free; Yea, from that weight no evil Hath yet befallen thee. 11 Thou child of truth, how blessed! A conqu'ror soon shalt be, With songs of glad thanksgiving A crown awaiteth thee. To thee the palm triumphal By god's own hand is giv'n, Thine, to His name who saved thee, To sing the songs of heav'n. 12 Give, Lord, this consummation To all our hearts’ distress, Our hands, our feet, O strengthen, In death our spirits bless. Thy truth and Thy protection For evermore we pray; With these in heav’nly glory Shall end our certain way. Topics: Epiphany 4 Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: BEFIEHL DU DEINE WEGE
