BREAD THAT STRENGTHENETH MAN’S HEART (John 6:35)
-By Gerhard Tersteegen
Man, earthy of the earth, an-hungered feeds
On earth’s dark poison tree—
Wild gourds, and deadly roots, and bitter weeds;
And as his food is he.
And hungry souls there are, that find and eat
God’s manna day by day—
And glad they are, their [...]

Found
By Gerhard Tersteegen; Translated by Frances Bevan
O God, through Christ the living way,
My Father and my God,
So near, and I so far astray,
Brought nigh Thee by His Blood.
Myself, and this, and that, I sought
Behind, around, before–
And yet the nearest found I not,
Until I sought no more.
O Love, Thou deep eternal tide,
How dear are men to [...]

Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task [...]

Name that earth and Heaven adore.
From the heart of God it came—
Leads me to God’s heart once more.
Name of Jesus! living tide!
Days of drought for me are past.
How much more than satisfied
Are the thirsty lips at last!
Name of Jesus! dearest Name!
Bread [...]

If Thou But Suffer God To Guide Thee
By George Neumark; Translated by Catherine Winkworth
If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in him through all thy ways,
He’ll give thee strength, whatever betide thee,
And bear thee through the evil days:
Who trusts in God’s unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.
What can these anxious [...]
