Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth

Author: Isaac Williams (1802-1865); Jean de Santeul (1630--1697) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth, who choosest for thine the meek and the poor; to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light, and at thy decree are broken and gone; thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might, as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone. 3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will, and swift as the winds about the world go: the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill; they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow. 4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!' then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall; as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word, and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. 5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin: the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around, O may they awaken our spirits within. 6 All honour and praise, dominion and might, to God, Three in One, eternally be, who round us hath shed his own marvellous light, and called us from darkness his glory to see.

Ah, What Can I Do?

Author: John Newton Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Ah, what can I do, or where be secure? Lyrics: 1. Ah, what can I do, or where be secure? If justice pursue, what heart can endure? When God speaks in thunder and makes Himself known, The heart breaks asunder though hard as a stone. 2. With terror I read my sins’ heavy score, The numbers exceed the sands on the shore; Guilt makes me unable to stand or to flee, So Cain murdered Abel, and trembled like me. 3. Each sin, like his blood, with terrible cry, Calls loudly on God to strike from on high: Nor can my repentance, extorted by fear, Reverse the just sentence; ’tis just, though severe. 4. The case is too plain, I have my own choice; Again, and again I slighted His voice; His warnings neglected, His patience abused, His Gospel rejected, His mercy refused. 5. And must I then go, forever to dwell In torments and woe with devils in hell? Oh where is the Savior I scorned in times past? His word in my favor would save me at last. 6. Lord Jesus, on Thee I venture to call, Oh look upon me, the vilest of all! For whom didst Thou languish and bleed on the tree? Oh pity my anguish, and say, ’Twas for thee. 7. A case such as mine will honor Thy power; All hell will repine, all Heav’n will adore; If in condemnation strict justice takes place, It shines in salvation more glorious through grace.

Rejoice in God's Saints

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Rejoice in God's saints today and all days! Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer, their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share. 2 Some march with events to turn them God's way; some need to withdraw, the better to pray; some carry the gospel through fire and through flood: our world is their parish: their purpose is God. 3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown, who bear someone's cross, or shoulder their own: they shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares: what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs! 4 Rejoice in God's saints today and all days! A world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Used With Tune: OLD 104TH

Though troubles assail and dangers affright

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 430 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail and dangers affright, though friends should all fail and foes all unite, yet one thing secures us, however we're tried: The Scripture assures us, 'The Lord will provide.' 2 The birds without barn or storehouse are fed; from them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall not be denied; we know it is written: 'The Lord will provide.' 3 His call we obey like Abraham of old, not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; for though we are strangers we have a good guide, and trust, in all dangers, 'The Lord will provide.' 4 When Satan assails and hinders our path and fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; he cannot take from us, though often has tried, this heart-cheering promise, 'The Lord will provide.' 5 No strength of our own or goodness we claim; yet since we have known the Saviour’s great name, in this our strong tower for safety we hide, the Lord is our power, 'The Lord will provide.' 6 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of His grace shall carry us through not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, we hope to die shouting: 'The Lord will provide.'
