A Vindication of God's Ways

Hymnal: The Psalter #201b (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Contentment First Line: God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure, He never forsaketh the good and the pure; Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length; They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress, The heav'ns and the earth they assume to possess. 4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; They question God's knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. 5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. 6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled, The end of life's journey I clearly beheld; I saw in what peril ungodly men stand With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem; My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought, Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DENIO

Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, As Thy beauty fills my soul, For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made me whole. Refrain: Jesus, I am resting, resting In the joy of what Thou art, I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. 2 O how great Thy loving kindness, Vaster, broader than the sea! Oh, how marvelous Thy goodness, Lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Beloved, Know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise And have made it mine. (Refrain) 3 Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art, And Thy love, so pure, so changeless, Satisfies my heart; Satisfies its deepest longings, Meets, supplies its every need, Compasseth me round with blessings: Thine is love indeed! (Refrain) 4 Ever lift Thy face upon me As I work and wait for Thee; Resting 'neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, Earth's dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father's glory, Sunshine of my Father's face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Thy grace. (Refrain) Languages: English Tune Title: TRANQUILLITY
