| - | |
| O Lord how happy is the time | B |
| When in thy love I rest | C |
| When from my weariness I climb | B |
| Even to thy tender breast | C |
| The night of sorrow endeth there | A |
| Thou art brighter than the sun | D |
| And in thy pardon and thy care | A |
| The heaven of heaven is won | D |
| - | |
| Let the world call herself my foe | E |
| Or let the world allure | A |
| I care not for the world I go | E |
| To this dear friend and sure | A |
| And when life's fiercest storms are sent | F |
| Upon life's wildest sea | G |
| My little bark is confident | H |
| Because it holds by thee | G |
| - | |
| When the law threatens endless death | I |
| Upon the dreadful hill | J |
| Straightway from her consuming breath | I |
| My soul goeth higher still | J |
| Goeth to Jesus wounded slain | K |
| And maketh him her home | L |
| Whence she will not go out again | M |
| And where death cannot come | N |
| - | |
| I do not fear the wilderness | O |
| Where thou hast been before | A |
| Nay rather will I daily press | P |
| After thee near thee more | A |
| Thou art my food on thee I lean | Q |
| Thou makest my heart sing | R |
| And to thy heavenly pastures green | Q |
| All thy dear flock dost bring | R |
| - | |
| And if the gate that opens there | A |
| Be dark to other men | M |
| It is not dark to those who share | A |
| The heart of Jesus then | M |
| That is not losing much of life | S |
| Which is not losing thee | G |
| Who art as present in the strife | S |
| As in the victory | G |
| - | |
| Therefore how happy is the time | B |
| When in thy love I rest | C |
| When from my weariness I climb | B |
| Even to thy tender breast | C |
| The night of sorrow endeth there | A |
| Thou art brighter than the sun | D |
| And in thy pardon and thy care | A |
| The heaven of heaven is won | D |
