For all the Lord has done for me,
For all the Lord has done for me,
Sun and Shield forever.
To God’s care who cares for all,
Sun and shield for­ev­er!
Why thus in anguish pray?
On the hill­tops of the blest,
And it will not be anxious in the year of drought
The news and Prince of Peace.
From all care and fear re­leased,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er.
He sang, that first sweet Christ­mas,
Quickly bring Thy morn­ing’s light;
Nor day­star gild the dark­some skies?
’Tis the time to pray.
That shall wake God’s sleep­ing child­ren,
We then shall see Thee as Thou art:
Like wa­ters of a trou­bled sea,
And Heav’n shall be my home.
Rest, rest thee, weary heart,

Cease

And for His grace so rich and free,
And for His grace so rich and free,
Cease to guard us, never.
Touched by God our bur­dens fall.
Cease to guard us nev­er.
There is a better way.
And the wea­ry be at rest.
And will not cease to bear fruit.
His mer­cies to en­treat;
And the wea­ry are at rest.
Never will I cease to praise Him;
Glory to God in the high­est,
Hope be turned to joyful sight.
When Christ, our Lord, from dark­ness sprang,
Weary pil­grim, cease thy mourn­ing,
In the rap­ture and the splen­dor,
Our praise shall nev­er cease to flow.
My soul cried out in ang­uish deep,
This storm will soon be past
Take from Thy Savior’s hands
