There where the judges gather

Author: Henry Zylstra, 1909-1956 Hymnal: TBP1997 #51 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 There where the judges gather, a greater takes the seat; "How long," God asks the judges, "will you pronounce deceit? How long show special favour to those of ill repute? How long neglect the orphan, the poor and destitute? 2 Deal justly with the needy; protect the powerless; deliver the afflicted from those who would oppress, but you are surely blinded; you do not understand; therefore foundations totter; injustice rocks the land." 3 God speaks: "I named you rulers, to serve the Most High God, but you shall die as mortals and perish by my rod." Arise, O God, in judgement, your sovereignty make known, for yours are all the nations; the peoples are your own.

I'd rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord, than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: TBP1997 #55 (1997) 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 work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
