God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: CBWM1872 #82 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform:
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His works in vain.
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Topics: Providence Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN'S
God moves in a mysterious way
Thy way, O God, is in the sea
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: CBWM1872 #83 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea;
Thy paths I cannot trace,
Nor comprehend the mystery
Of Thy unbounded grace.
2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense
My captive soul surround;
Mysterious deeps of Providence
My wondering thoughts confound.
3 As through a glass, I dimly see
The wonders of Thy Love;
How little do I know of Thee,
Or of the joys above!
4 'Tis but in part I know Thy will:
I bless Thee for the sight;
When will Thy Love the rest reveal
In glory's clearer light?
5 With raptures shall I then survey
Thy Providence and Grace,
And spend an everlasting day
In wonder, love, and praise. Topics: Providence Languages: English Tune Title: DEPTFORD
Thy way, O God, is in the sea
The Lord my Shepherd is
Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #84 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied:
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e'er I go astray,
He doth my Soul reclaim;
And guides me in His own right way,
For His most holy Name.
4 While He affords His aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death's dark shade,
My Shepherd's with me there.
5 The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise. Topics: Providence; Passion Week; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
The Lord my Shepherd is
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: CBWM1872 #85 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noonday walks He shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant;
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary, wandering steps He leads,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.
3 Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden greens and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
4 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still:
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence; Easter Season, Thrid Sunday; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: PRESTON
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Nahum Tate; Nicholas Brady Hymnal: CBWM1872 #86 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
2 Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distrest
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name!
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
5 O make but trial of His Love;
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear;
Make you His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care. Topics: Providence; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day; Sunday after New Year; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Epiphany, Third Sunday; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWIN
Through all the changing scenes of life
How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: CBWM1872 #87 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defence!
Eternal wisdom is their guide;
Their help Omnipotence.
2 From all my griefs and straits, O Lord!
Thy mercy sets me free;
Whilst in the confidence of prayer
My heart takes hold on Thee.
3 In midst of dangers, fears and death,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And praise Thee for Thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
4 My life, while Thou preserv'st my life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
And, O, may death, when death shall come,
Unite my soul to Thee! Topics: Providence; Easter Season, Thrid Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: TIVERTON

My God, my only Help and Hope
Author: John Mason Hymnal: CBWM1872 #88 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, my only Help and Hope,
My strong and sure Defence,
For all my safety and my peace
I bless Thy Providence.
2 The daily favors of my God
I cannot sing at large:
Yet let memake this holy boast,
I am the Almighty's charge.
3 Lord, in the day Thou art about
The paths wherein I tread;
And in the night, when I lie down,
Thou art about my bed.
4 Naked I came into the world,
And nothing with me brought;
And nothing have I here deserved,
Yet have I lackéd nought.
5 I do not bless my laboring hand,
My laboring head, or chance;
The Providence, most gracious God,
Is mine inheritance. Topics: Providence; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
My God, my only Help and Hope
Lord, what is man, that child of pride
Author: John Mason Hymnal: CBWM1872 #89 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, what is man, that child of pride,
That boasts his high degree?
If one poor moment he be left,
He sinks, and where is he?
2 In Thee I live, and move, and am;
Thou deal'st me out my days;
As Thou renew'st my being, Lord,
Let me renew Thy praise.
3 From Thee I am, through Thee I am,
And for Thee I must be;
'Tis better for me not to live
Than not to live to Thee.
4 My God, Thou art my glorious Sun,
Bu whose bright beams I shine:
As Thou, Lord, ever art with me,
Let me be ever Thine.
5 Thou art my living Fountain, Lord,
Whose streams on me do flow;
Myself I render unto Thee,
To whom myself I owe.
6 As Thou, Lord, an immortal soul
Hast breathéd into me;
So let my soul be breathing forth
Immortal thanks to Thee. Topics: Providence Languages: English Tune Title: NAZARETH
Lord, what is man, that child of pride
Shine on our souls, eternal God!
Author: Philp Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #90 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shine on our souls, eternal God!
With rays of beauty shine;
O let Thy favor crown our days,
And all their round be Thine.
2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee,
Our hands might toil in vain:
Small joy success itself could give,
If Thou Thy Love restrain.
3 With Thee let every week begin,
With Thee each day be spent,
For Thee each fleeting hour improved,
Since each by Thee is lent.
4 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road,
Till all our labors cease;
And heaven refresh our weary souls
With everlasting peace. Topics: Providence; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ARMAGH

O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #91 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And at our fathers' loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Topics: Providence; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Lent, Fourth Sunday; First Sunday after Trinity; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: IRISH
