which the morning stars began.

The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 267 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:5-22 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
his throne is built on high;
the garments he assumes
are light and majesty:
his glories shine with beams so bright
no mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of his hand
keep the wide world in awe;
his wrath and justice stand
to guard his holy law;
and where his love resolves to bless
his truth confirms and seals his grace.

amazing wisdom shines,
confounds the powers of hell
and breaks their cursed designs;
strong is his arm, and shall fulfil
his great decrees, his sovereign will.

of Glory condescend?
And will he write his name
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Evil; Glory of God; Grace; Judgment of God; Law of God; Our Love to God; Providence; Salvation; Word of God Used With Tune: ST JOHN

Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess
Author: Gibbon Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:5 Lyrics: 1 Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess;
Thy goodness we adore:
A spring, whose blessings never fail;
A sea without a shore!
2 Sun, moon, and stars, thy love attest
In every golden ray:
Love draws the curtains of the night,
And love brings back the day.
3 Thy bounty every season crowns
With all the bliss it yields;
With joyful clusters loads the vines,
With strengthening grain, the fields.
4 But chiefly thy compassion, Lord,
Is in the gospel seen;
There, like a sun, thy mercy shines,
Without a cloud between.
5 There pardon, peace, and holy joy
Through Jesus' name are given;
He on the cross was lifted high,
That we might reign in heaven. Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving; His Tender Mercies are over all His Works
Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess
