151. WHY ART THOU GRIEVED?

Previous
Next

​Author:  Paul Gerhardt, 1653 (1607-1676)
​Composer:  Rodney Lynn Stoller, 1996 (1953-)

​1. Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
    Christ is near. Who can here
    E’er of Him deprive me?
    Who can rob me of my treasure,
    Which God’s Son For me won,
    Suff’ring in full measure?
 
2. Weak was I and empty-handed
    When on earth At my birth
    My first breath was granted;
    Helpless, too, when death o’ertakes me,
    Shall I go From life’s woe,
    When my breath forsakes me.
 
3. My possessions and my living
    Are not mine; God divine
    All to me is giving.
    What He gave will I restore Him;
    Though bereft Of each gift,
    Still shall I adore Him.
 
4. What are all these earthly treasures
    But a hand Full of sand
    And but fleeting pleasures.
    Yonder are the real possessions;
    Christ prepares, And He shares
    Them without cessation.
 
5. Lord, Thou Fount of all true pleasure!
    I am Thine; Thou art mine.
    E’er will I Thee treasure.
    I am Thine, for Thou hast bought me;
    Lost I stood, But Thy blood
    Free salvation brought me.
 
6. Thou art mine; I love and own Thee.
    Light of Joy, E’er shall I
    In my heart enthrone Thee.
    Saviour, let me soon behold Thee
    Face to face. May Thy grace
    Evermore enfold me!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
