God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Lyrics: God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines, With never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Topics: Sundays after Trinity; Sundays after Trinity Faith Used With Tune: LONDON NEW

Rock of ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus M.Toplady; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,899 hymnals Lyrics: Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood From Thy side, a healing flood, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath, and make me pure. Should my tears for ever flow, Should my zeal no languor know, All for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. Amen.

Jesus, I die to Thee, Whenever death shall come; To die in Thee is life to me, In my eternal home. Whether to live or die, I know not which is best; To live in Thee is bliss to me, To die is endless rest. Living or dying, Lord, I ask but to be Thine; My life in Thee, Thy life in me, Makes heaven for ever mine. Amen.

Christ, of all my hopes the ground

Author: Ralph Wardlaw Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: Christ, of all my hopes the ground, Christ the spring of all my joy, Still in Thee may I be found, Still for Thee my powers employ. Let Thy love my heart inflame; Keep Thy fear before my sight; Be Thy praise my highest aim; Be Thy smile my chief delight. Fountain of o'erflowing grace, Freely from Thy fullness give; Till I close my earthly race, May I prove it "Christ to live." Firmly trusting in Thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Emmanuel's ground. Thus, O thus, an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die." Amen.

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 185 hymnals Lyrics: I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. I could not do without thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on thee. I could not do without thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. I could not do without thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E'en when my eyes are holden, I know that thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with thee! I could not do without thee; No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessed Lord, but thine. I could not do without thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; 219 But thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I." Amen. Topics: Sundays after Trinity The Divine Mercy; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: MAGDALENA

All people that on earth do dwell

Author: William Kethe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 720 hymnals Lyrics: All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice: Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice. Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid he did us make: We are his flock, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his Name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. Amen.

There dwells the Lord, our King, The Lord, our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Sion's sacred height His kingdom he maintains, And, glorious with his saints in light, For ever reigns. The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen.

O Worship the King, all glorious above!

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,139 hymnals Lyrics: O Worship the King, all glorious above! O gratefully sing his power and his love! Our shield and defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. O tell of his might! O sing of his grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old, Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Amen.
