Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In psalms of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies, Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouth with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord; How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the soul he loves. Used With Tune: ZERAH

Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb To search the starry vault profound; In vain would wing her flight sublime, To find creation's outmost bound. 2 But weaker yet that thought must prove To search thy great eternal plan, Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began. 3 When my dim reason would demand Why that, or this, thou dost ordain, By some vast deep I seem to stand, Whose secrets I must ask in vain. 4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me, Here, as on solid rock, I rest; That so it seemeth good to thee. 5 Be this my joy, that evermore Thou rulest all things at thy will: Thy sovereign wisdom I adore, And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.

When God--neglected or denied

Author: T. H. Stockton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Unity Lyrics: 1 When God--neglected or denied-- From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, How soon the erring myriads strove With phantom forms to fill his place! 2 On every hill, by every stream, All homes within, all waysides near, The hallowed idols senseless stood-- The helpless suppliants bowed with fear. 3 With gods for every foot of land, And every pause of passing time, In life no soothing peace they found, In death no heavenly hope sublime. 4 O Thou, the true and living God! Maker of all above--below, Eternal--self-existent One! How blest are we thy name to know! 5 One God--enlightened faith adores; One God--harmonious nature cries; One God--our common Sire and Lord, The brotherhood of mind replies. 6 To thee--Supreme!--to thee alone, Be hymns of highest glory sung; The source of joy to every hear, The theme of praise to every tongue. Scripture: Isaiah 44:6
