Representative Text

1. Give to the winds your fears,
Hope, and be undismayed;
God hears your sighs and counts your tears;
God shall lift up your head.
Thru' waves and clouds and storms
He gently clears the way.
Wait now this time, so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.

2. Leave to his sov'reign sway
To choose and to command;
So shall you wond'ring, own his way,
How wise, how strong his hand.
Far, far above your thoughts
His counsel shall appear,
When fully he the work has wro't
That caused your needless fear.

3. Your everlasting truth,
Father, your ceaseless love
Sees all your children's wants and knows
What best for each will prove.
When you arise, my Lord,
What shall your work withstand?
When all your children want, you give;
Who, who shall stay your hand?

4. You know our weakness, Lord,
Our hearts are plain to see;
O lift and hold the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee!
Let us in life, in death,
Your steadfast truth declare,
And publish with our latest breath
Your love and guardian care!

John Wesley, the son of Samuel, and brother of Charles Wesley, was born at Epworth, June 17, 1703. He was educated at the Charterhouse, London, and at Christ Church, Oxford. He became a Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, and graduated M.A. in 1726. At Oxford, he was one of the small band consisting of George Whitefield, Hames Hervey, Charles Wesley, and a few others, who were even then known for their piety; they were deridingly called "Methodists." After his ordination he went, in 1735, on a mission to Georgia. The mission was not successful, and he returned to England in 1738. From that time, his life was one of great labour, preaching the Gospel, and publishing his commentaries and other theological works. He died in London, in 17… Go to person page >

Author: Paul Gerhardt

Paul Gerhardt (b. Gräfenheinichen, Saxony, Germany, 1607; d. Lubben, Germany, 1676), famous author of Lutheran evangelical hymns, studied theology and hymnody at the University of Wittenberg and then was a tutor in Berlin, where he became friends with Johann Crüger. He served the Lutheran parish of Mittenwalde near Berlin (1651-1657) and the great St. Nicholas' Church in Berlin (1657-1666). Friederich William, the Calvinist elector, had issued an edict that forbade the various Protestant groups to fight each other. Although Gerhardt did not want strife between the churches, he refused to comply with the edict because he thought it opposed the Lutheran "Formula of Concord," which condemned some Calvinist doctrines. Consequently, he was r… Go to person page >
