Finnish Songs
Virsi 389
1. Jumalan haltuun anna / nyt tiesi, tarpeesi / ja Herran
huomaan kanna/ surusi, murheesi. / Hän, joka sinut loi,/
sinulle hengen soi, / tarpeesi kaikki tietää. / Hän auttaa tahtoo, voi.
2. Niin heitä haltuun Herran / ristisi, vaivasi, / ne armossansa kerran / hän kääntää parhaaksi. / Ennen kuin
luuletkaan / hän ehtii auttamaan, / ja ristit, tuskat, vaivat / hän poistaa aikanaan.
3. Lujasti mieleen paina / ja älä unohda:/on lapsillensa aina /
laupias Jumala. / Hän uskovaisiaan / ei hylkää milloinkaan, /
vaan huolen heistä kantaa, / on heidän suojanaan.
4. Siis Herran tietä kulje / vakaana uskossa / ja sydämesi sulje / maailman himoilta. / Ja armahtajaasi /
vain luota alati. / Jos mikä täällä kohtaa, / hän kulkee
kanssasi.
5. Jos joudut epäilyksiin, / kun murheet saartavat, / niin Herran kädet yksin / sinua kantavat. / Kaikissa vaiheissa /
on Herra turvana. / Hänelle kiitos olkoon / armonsa avusta!
Virsi 540
1. Aurinko armas valollansa / sai uuden päivän
heräämään, / ja kaiken maan se loistollansa / taas nosti
uuteen elämään. / Luojamme suuri, laupias, / yön poistit,
kaikkivaltias.
2. Suo, Jeesus, Hengen valon koittaa / nyt minullekin armosta, / suo mielen pimeys taas voittaa / kirkkaalla armon
sanalla. / Rohkaise, Jeesus, minua, / tahtosi tielle taivuta.
3. Armosi, Jeesus, sielulleni / kuin aamukaste vuotakoon, /
ja virvoituksen tunnolleni / veresi pyhä tuottakoon,/ niin
että uuden voiman saan / taas valossasi kulkemaan.
