6. My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But ’tis enough that Christ knows all And I shall be with Him. Richard Baxter, 1681, a. 497 C. M. O Thou, from whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me! 2. When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, My pardon speak, new peace impart; In love remember me. 3. Temptations sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot flee. O give me strength, Lord, as my day; For good remember me. 4. Distressed with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble body see; Grant patience, rest, and kind relief; Hear and remember me! 5. When in the solemn hour of death I wait Thy just decree, Be this the prayer of my last breath, Good Lord, remember me! 6. And when before Thy throne I stand And lift my soul to Thee, Then with the saints at Thy right hand, Good Lord, remember me! Thomas Haweis and Thomas Cotterill, 1792, a. 498 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 8 If thou but suffer God to guide thee And hope in Him through all thy ways, He’ll give thee strength, whate’er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God’s unchanging love Builds on the Rock that naught can move. 2. What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help if thou bewail thee O’er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3. Be patient and await His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content, To take whate’er thy Father’s pleasure And His discerning love hath sent, Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 4. He knows the time for joy and, truly, Will send it when He sees it meet; When He has tried and purged thee duly And finds thee free from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware And makes thee own His loving care. 5. Nor think amid the heat of trial That God hath cast thee off unheard; That he whose hopes meet no denial Must surely be of God preferred; Time passes and much change doth bring And sets a bound to everything. 6. All are alike before the Highest; ’Tis easy to our God, we know, To raise thee up, though low thou liest, To make the rich man poor and low. True wonders still by Him are wrought Who setteth up and brings to naught.
