O Father, You Are Sovereign

All chance and change transcending, supreme in time and space, you hold your trusting children secure in your embrace. 3 O Father, you are sovereign, the Lord of human pain, transmuting earthly sorrows to gold of heav'nly gain. All evil overruling, as none but Conqu'ror could, your love pursues its purpose-- our souls’ eternal good. 4 O Father, you are sovereign! We see you dimly now, but soon before your triumph earth’s ev'ry knee shall bow. With this glad hope before us, our faith springs up anew: our sovereign Lord and Savior, we trust and worship you!

Let the whole Race of Creatures lie

Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: God's Decrees Lyrics: 1 Let the whole Race of Creatures lie Abas'd before their God; Whate'er his sov'reign Voice has form'd He governs with a Nod. [2 Ten Thousand Ages e'er the Skies Were into Motion brought; All the long Years, and Worlds to come, Stood present to his Thought. 3 There's not a Sparrow, or a Worm, But's found in his Decrees; He raises Monarchs to their Thrones, And sinks them as he please.] 4 If Light attends the Course I run, 'Tis he provides those Rays; And 'tis his Hand that hides my Sun, If Darkness clouds my Days. 5 Yet I would not be much concern'd, Nor vainly long to see The Volume of his deep Decrees, What Months are writ for me. 6 When he reveals the Book of Life, O may I read my Name Amongst the chosen of his Love, The Foll'wers of the Lamb.
