God appointeth Afflictions
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Not from relentless fate's dark womb Lyrics: 1 Not from relentless fate's dark womb,
Or from the dust, our troubles come.
No fickle chance presides o'er grief,
To cause the pain, or send relief.
2 Look up, and see, ye sorrowing saints!
The cause and cure of your complaints,
Know, 'tis your heav'nly father's will:
Bid ev'ry murmur then be still.
3 He sees, we need the painful yoke;
Yet love directs his heaviest stroke.
He takes no pleasure in our smart,
But wounds to heal and cheer the heart.
4 Bless'd trials those, that cleanse from sin,
And make the soul all pure within,
Wean the fond mind from earthly toys,
To seek and taste celestial joys! Topics: Of God Providence of God

Jesus teaching the People
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 357 hymnals First Line: How sweetly flow'd the gospel's sound Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flow'd the gospel’s sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
While list'ning thousands gathered round,
And joy and rev'ence fill'd the place.
2 From heav’n he came, of heav’n he spoke,
To heav'n he led his foll'wers’ way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unveiling an immortal day.
3 "Come, wand'rers, to my Father’s home;
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest!"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest.
4 Decay, then, tenements of dust!
Pillars of earthly pride, decay!
A nobler mansion waits the just,
And Jesus has prepared the way. Topics: Christ His Mission and Works

The Christian's Charge
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,351 hymnals First Line: A charge to keep I have Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have;
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky;
To serve the present age;
My calling to fulfill;--
O may it all my pow'rs engage,
To do my Master's will!
2 Arm me with jealous care
As in thy sight to live;
And oh! thy servant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give.
Help me to watch and pray,
And, on thyself rely:
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forsaken die. Topics: The Christian His Conversion

The Spirituality of God
Hymnal: CHAP1845 #1 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thou art, O God! a spirit pure Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a spirit pure,
Invisible to mortal eyes;
Th'immortal, and the eternal King,
The great, the good, the only wise.
2 Whilst nature changes, and her works
Corrupt, decay, dissolve, and die,
Thy essence pure no change shall see,
Secure of immortality.
3 Thou great Invisible! what hand
Can draw thy image spotless fair!
To what in heaven, to what on earth,
Can men th'immortal King compare!
4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods
Of gold, and silver, wood and stone;
Ours is the God that made the heavens;
Jehovah he, and God alone.
5 My soul, thy purest homage pay,
In truth and spirit him adore:
More shall this please than sacrifice,
Than outward forms delight him more. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Scripture: John 4:21 Languages: English

God supreme and self-sufficient
Hymnal: CHAP1845 #2 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What is our God, or what his name Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name,
Nor men can learn, nor angels teach;
He dwells conceal'd in radiant flame,
Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach.
2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light,
Compar'd with him, how short they fall!
They are too dark, and he too bright;
Nothing are they, and God is all.
3 He spoke that wondrous word, and lo!
Creation arose at his command:
Whirlwinds and seas their limits know,
Bound in the hollow of his hand.
4 There rests the earth, there roll the spheres,
There nature leans, and feels her prop:
But his own self-sufficience bears
The weight of his own glories up.
5 The tide of creatures ebbs and flows,
Measuring their changes by the moon:
No ebb his sea of glory knows:
His age is one eternal noon.
6 Then fly, my song, an endless round,
The lofty tune let Gabriel raise,
All nature dwell upon the sound,
But we can ne'er fulfil the praise. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Languages: English

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #3 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal God, almighty cause Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, almighty cause
Of earth, and seas and worlds unknown;
All things are subject to thy laws;
All things depend on thee alone.
2 Thy glorious being singly stands,
Of all within itself possest;
By none control'd in thy commands,
And in thyself completely blest.
3 To thee alone ourselves we owe;
Let heav'n and earth due homage pay:
All other gods we disavow,
Deny their claims, renounce their sway.
4 In thee, O Lord, our hope shall rest,
Fountain of peace and joy and love!
Thy favor only makes us blest;
Without thee all would nothing prove.
5 Worship to thee alone belongs:
Worship to thee alone we give;
Thine be our hearts, and thine our songs,
And to thy glory we would live.
6 Spread thy great name through heathen lands;
Their idol-deities dethrone;
Subdue the world to thy commands,
And reign as thou art, God alone. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Languages: English
