And where he rules in kingly might, there all is just and all is right: to God all praise and glory! 3 We sought the Lord in our distress; O God, in mercy hear us. Our Savior saw our helplessness and came with peace to cheer us. For this we thank and praise the Lord, who is by one and all adored: to God all praise and glory! 4 Let all who name Christ’s holy name give God the praise and glory.

If You Will Only Let God Guide You

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 182 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Lyrics: 1. If you will only let God guide you, And hope in Him thro' all your ways, Whatever comes, He'll stand beside you, To bear you thro' the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2. Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er the Father's pleasure And all discerning love have sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3. Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways, But do your part in conscience true; Trust His rich promises of grace, So shall they be fulfilled in you; God hears the callof those in need, The souls that trust in Him indeed.

Poor slaves of lies and sin! They who would fight for thee on earth must first be pure within. 4 Then, God of truth, for whom we long, thou who wilt hear our prayer, do thine own battle in our hearts, and slay the falsehood there. 5 Yea, come: then tried as in the fire, from ev'ry lie set free, thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, and we shall live in thee.

When strangers stand and hear me tell

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics: When strangers stand and hear me tell What beauties in my Savior dwell, Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. My best Beloved keeps his throne On hills of light, in worlds unknown; But he descends and shows his face In the young gardens of his grace. [In vineyards planted by his hand, Where fruitful trees in order stand; He feeds among the spicy beds, Where lilies show their spotless heads. He has engrossed my warmest love, No earthly charms my soul can move: I have a mansion in his heart, Nor death nor hell shall make us part.] [He takes my soul ere I'm aware, And shows me where his glories are; No chariot of Amminadib The heav'nly rapture can describe. O may my spirit daily rise On wings of faith above the skies, Till death shall make my last remove, To dwell for ever with my Love.] Topics: God our defence and salvation; God all-sufficient; Works and grace; Creation and Providence; Creatures no trust in them; Creatures vain, and God all-sufficient; God his creation and providence; Grace and providence; Praise for creation and providence; Providence and creation; Providence in air, earth, and sea
