363 DUKE STREET L. M. John Hatton, c., 1790 1. 'Tis by the faith of joys to come, We walk thro' des-erts dark as night; 365 GREENWOOD S. M. 4 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, When fully He the work hath wrought, He gently clears thy way; That caused thy needless fear. Wait thou His time; so shall this night 4 What though thou rulest not! Soon end in brightest day. 3 Far, far above thy thought His couusel shall appear, 366 THATCHER S. M. Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. Rev. Paul Gerhardt, 1656; Tr, Rev. John Wesley, 1739 Arr. from George F. Handel 2 The soul by faith reclined On the Redeemer's breast, 'Mid raging storms, exults to find An everlasting rest. 3 Sorrow and fear are gone, Whene'er Thy face appears; It stills the sighing orphan's moan, And dries the widow's tears. 4 It hallows every cross; It sweetly comforts me; It makes me now forget my loss, 5 Jesus, to whom I fly, Doth all my wishes fill; What though created streams are dry? I have the fountain still. 6 Stripped of each earthly friend, I find them all in one, And peace and joy which never end, And heaven, in Christ, begun. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? 7 Thy mercy-seat is open still, And still my soul would cleave to Thee, 369 ETERNITY S. M. 4 4 Here let my soul retreat; With humble hope attend Thy will, Anne Steele, 1760 Henry J. Gauntlett, 1849 1. Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Stronger and brighter shine; (Or to Olmutz, No. 277) 4 Soon shall our doubts and fears His loving-kindness shall break through 5 Blest is the man, O God, Nor present things, nor things to come Who waits for Thy salvation, Lord, Shall quench the love divine. Shall Thy salvation see. Rev. Augustus M. Toplady, 1772 |
