God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,131 hymnals Lyrics: God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines, With never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Topics: Sundays after Trinity; Sundays after Trinity Faith Used With Tune: LONDON NEW

Jesus, I die to Thee, Whenever death shall come; To die in Thee is life to me, In my eternal home. Whether to live or die, I know not which is best; To live in Thee is bliss to me, To die is endless rest. Living or dying, Lord, I ask but to be Thine; My life in Thee, Thy life in me, Makes heaven for ever mine. Amen.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,227 hymnals Lyrics: I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, Lay down Thy head upon my breast. I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in him a resting-place, And he has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live. I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my Star, my Sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done.

O Worship the King, all glorious above!

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,145 hymnals Lyrics: O Worship the King, all glorious above! O gratefully sing his power and his love! Our shield and defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. O tell of his might! O sing of his grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old, Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Amen.

For all the saints, who from their labours rest

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 569 hymnals Lyrics: For all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed, Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might: Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, the one true Light. O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. 271 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on his way. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia, Alleluia! Amen.

God, my King, Thy might confessing

Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: God, my King, thy might confessing, Ever will I bless thy Name; Day by day thy throne addressing, Still will I thy praise proclaim. Honor great our God befitteth; Who his majesty can reach? Age to age his works transmitteth, Age to age his power shall teach. They shall talk of all thy glory, On thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of thy dread acts the story, And thy deeds of wonder tell. Nor shall fail from memory's treasure Works by love and mercy wrought, Works of love surpassing measure, Works of mercy passing thought. Full of kindness and compassion, Slow to anger, vast in love, God is good to all creation; All his works his goodness prove. All thy works, O Lord, shall bless thee; Thee shall all thy saints adore: King supreme shall they confess thee, And proclaim thy sovereign power. Praise the Father, earth and heaven, Praise the Son, the Spirit praise, As it was, and is, be given Glory through eternal days. Amen.

Let the people praise thee, Lord; Earth shall then her fruits afford; God to man his blessings give, Man to God devoted live; All below, and all above, One in joy, and light, and love.
