When In The Hour Of Utmost Need

Author: Paul Eber Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #276 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need No soul is near our cry to heed, When day and night we seek in vain Some counsel or relief to gain, 2 Then this our comfort is alone That we appear before Thy throne And plead, O faithful Lord, with Thee From all our cares to set us free. 3 When we to Thee lift up our eyes, Thou hearest our repentant sighs, Forgivest us our grievous sin, And we Thy gracious favor win. 4 For Thou hast surely promised grace To all who humbly seek Thy face Through Jesus Christ, our Advocate, Whose name above all names is great. 5 Look not upon our sin and guilt, For which the Savior's blood was spilt, But all our guilt do Thou efface And for all ills send us Thy grace. 6 Thus grant that we may truly be Once more most thankful unto Thee, Walk in obedience to Thy Word And ever praise Thy name, O Lord.

He Leadeth Me: O Blessed Thought

Author: J. Henry Gilmore Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #279 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort First Line: He leadeth me: O blessed thought! Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me: O blessed thought! O words with heav'nly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WARD

What God Ordains Is Always Good

Author: Samuel Rodegast Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #281 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good: No wrong His will intendeth. In wisdom He directs my course And all my trouble endeth. Why should I fear when He is near? Tho' need and want o'ertake me, He never will forsake me. 2 What God ordains is always good: He will not, then, deceive me. I fully trust His guiding hand, No painful doubts can grieve me. His loving care each day I share, Tho' sorrows sore depress me, He will in mercy bless me. 3 What God ordains is always good: This thought sweet comfort lendeth. My great Physician, good and true, Naught that is harmful sendeth. My wounded soul He maketh whole And saveth by His power Though ills like mountains tower. 4 What God ordains is always good: And though the cup selected Too bitter to my taste may seem, It must not be rejected. For in the end God help will send; He will dispel all sadness And fill my soul with gladness. 5 What God ordains is always good: Here shall my stand be taken; Tho' dark and lone my way appear, I shall not be forsaken. In God's embrace I have a place; His loving arm will shield me, And so to Him I yield me. Languages: English Tune Title: HOPE

When in the hour of utmost need

Author: C. Winkworth; P. Eber Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #283 (1918) Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of deepest need We know not where to look for aid; When days and nights of anxious thought No help or counsel yet have brought; 2 Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For rescue from our misery. 3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within. 4 For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him whose name alone is great, Our Savior and our Advocate. 5 O, hid not for our sins Thy face, Absolve us through Thy boundless grace, Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill; 6 That so with all our hearts we may To Thee our glad thanksgiving pay, And walk obedient to Thy word, And now and ever praise the Lord.

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er you languish

Author: Th. Moore Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #293 (1918) Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish, Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, "Earth has no sorrow that heav'n cannot cure." 3 Here see the Bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love, come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heav'n can remove.

We give Thee but Thine own

Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #387 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace,-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE
