Give to our God immortal praise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #20 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise; Mercy and truth are all his ways: Wonders of grace to God belong: Repeat his mercies in your song. 2 Give to the Lord of lords renown; The King of kings with glory crown: His mercies ever shall endure, When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, he spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high: Wonders of grace to God belong: Repeat his mercies in your song. 4 He fills the sun with morning light; He bids the moon direct the night: His mercies ever shall endure When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5 He sent his Son with pow'r to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave: Wonders of grace to God belong Repeat his mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat: His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: TH1961 #21 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Great God, how infinite art thou!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #22 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art thou! How poor and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made: Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee there's nothing old appears; To thee there's nothing new. 4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares; While thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs. 5 Great God, how infinite art thou! How poor and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Amen.

All grace and glory be to thee, From age to age eternally. Amen.

O God, the Rock of Ages

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: TH1961 #24 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages, Who evermore hast been, What time the tempest rages, Our dwelling place serene: Before thy first creations, O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! 2 Our years are like the shadows On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die; A sleep, a dream, a story By strangers quickly told, And unremaining glory Of things that soon are old. 3 O thou who canst not slumber, Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail; On us thy mercy lighten, On us thy goodness rest, And let thy Spirit brighten The hearts thyself hast blessed. 4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavor With beauty and with grace, Till, clothed in light for ever, We see thee face to face: A joy no language measures; A fountain brimming o'er; An endless flow of pleasures; An ocean without shore.

The Lord has heard and answered prayer

Hymnal: TH1961 #25 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved his people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they his holy Name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on his throne, Looked down from heav'n with pitying eye To still the lowly captive's moan And save his people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. 4 Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly thine. 5 The earth and heav'ns shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless thou shalt live for aye, Thy years for ever shall abide. 6 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne for ever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be thy great memorial Name. 7 Thy servants' children shall remain For evermore before thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in thy grace.

Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #28 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of him Who formed the earth and sky? 2 Art thou afraid his pow'r shall fail When comes thine evil day? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r The Rock of Ages stands, Though him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart, And courage in the evil hour His heav'nly aids impart. 5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life divine, With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 7 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar - Their wings are faith and love - Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heav'n above.
