2. Hymn: Leave All To God

Hymn: Leave All To God

Author: Anton Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick (1633-1714)

1. Leave all to God,
    Forsaken one, and stay thy tears;
    For the Highest knows thy pain,
    Sees thy sufferings and thy fears
    Thou shalt not wait His help in vain,
    Leave all to God.

2. Be still and trust!
    For His strokes are strokes of love,
    Thou must for thy profit bear;
    He thy filial fear would move,
    Trust thy Father's loving care,
    Be still and trust!

3. Know, God is near!
    Though thou think Him far away,
    Though His mercy long have slept,
    He will come and not delay,
    When His child enough hath wept,
    For God is near!

4. O teach Him not
    When and how to hear thy prayers;
    Never doth our God forget,
    He the cross who longest bears
    Finds his sorrows' bounds are set,
    Then teach Him not.

5. If thou love Him,
    Walking truly in His ways,
    Then no trouble, cross or death,
    E'er shall silence faith and praise;
    All things serve thee here beneath,
    If thou love God!

    The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church; however, the hymns are the dry tinder for church revivals.

    There were drastic changes of social morality which happened because of the preaching of the salvation of Christ’s cross when the spirituality of God’s church reached to its climax in the past church history. And people confessed their sins and repented, and they were baptized and born again.

    Meanwhile, the messages of church were strong, solid and abundant. The published books were often classic christian literature which benefited the saints of God greatly. In the realm of hymns, there are a lot of hidden and precious treasures awaiting us to excavate and to appreciate for our enjoyment.

    May these hymns serve as the dry tinder for our spiritual revival today!
