God Is Known among His People

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is known among his people, every mouth his praises fill; from of old he has established his abode on Zion's hill; there he broke the sword and arrow, bade the noise of war be still. 2 Excellent and glorious are you, with your trophies from the fray; you have slain the mighty warriors, wrapped in sleep of death are they; when your anger once is risen, who can stand in that dread day? 3 When from heav'n your sentence sounded, all the earth in fear was still, while to save the meek and lowly God in judgment wrought his will; e'en the wrath of man shall praise you, your designs it shall fulfil. 4 Vow and pay unto Jehovah, him your God forever own; all men, bring your gifts before him worship him, and him alone; mighty kings obey and fear him, princes bow before his throne.

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To the name that is salvation, Praise and homage let us pay; Life of every generation, Law that all the stars obey; Love and light by whose creation All that is stands fast today. 2. Fairest name beyond all speaking, Fullest end of all desire, Close, yet far beyond all seeking, Goodness, beauty, truth, entire; Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking, Radiance never vexed with ire. 3. ’Tis the name of mercy, speeding, Just and unjust with His ray; Power that rules by patient leading, Not by force, the easier way; So that man, in freedom heeding, May the law of love obey. 4. Name of awe and name of pleasure, Glow divine of grace untold; Sum of values, whose full treasure Striving art can ne’er unfold; Sea of virtue passing measure, Life that doth all life uphold. 5. Hail, O Father, all creating, Now, as when the world began; Master mind, amazed we hail Thee, As the light-year depths we scan; Spirit of transcendent union, True and just Thy ways to man!

The lay is worth a hearing: We tell how grief hath ended woe, And fear hath finished fearing: And pain that lasted for a day Hath brought eternal cheering! 2 Was ever battle won like this— Where He that lost was gaining: And He that fell was triumphing, And He that died was reigning: And He that held the reed of scorn, A scepter was obtaining? 3 The winner then had such a foil As crushed him down for ever: The wise was taken in his craft, The strong in his endeavor: And He, the slain, was victor still, And he that slew Him, never! 4 Give ear, give ear, good Christian men! The riddle is expounded: From north to south, from east to west, Its meaning shall be sounded: On Easter Day was fought the fight, Whereon the crown is founded!
