Unsearchableness

Author: Elizabeth Scott Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Decrees Spiritual First Line: What finite power, with ceaseless toil Lyrics: 1 What finite power, with ceaseless toil, Can fathom the eternal Mind? Or who th' almighty Three in One By searching, to perfection find? 2 Angels and men in vain may raise, Harmonious their adoring songs; The laboring thought sinks down, opprest, And praises die upon their tongues. 3 Yet would I lift my trembling voice A portion of his ways to sing; And mingling with his meanest works, My humble, grateful tribute bring. Scripture: Esther 6:1 Used With Tune: FOREST

Predestination

Author: Paice Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Fix'd was the eternal state of man Lyrics: 1 Fixed was the eternal state of man, Ere time its rapid course began; Appointed, by God’s firm decree, To endless joy or misery. 2 Fixed was the vast eternal deep Between the goats and chosen sheep; Nor can a union e’er take place ’Twixt heirs of wrath and heirs of grace. 3 [Yet erring men make much ado, And strive to force a passage through; But, ah! what vain attempt is this, To strive to ford that deep abyss!] 4 All glory to the great I AM, Who chose me in the blessed Lamb; Whilst millions of the human race Will never know or taste his grace; 5 And blessings on atoning blood, By which I’m reconciled to God; And praise be to the Spirit given, Who frees from sin and leads to heaven.

Predestination

Author: Burnham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: 'Twas fix'd in God's eternal mind Lyrics: 1 ’Twas fixed in God’s eternal mind When his dear sons should mercy find; From everlasting he decreed When every good should be conveyed. 2 Determined was the manner how Eternal favours he’d bestow; Yea, he decreed the very place Where he would show triumphant grace. 3 Also the means were fixed upon Through which his sovereign love should run. So time and place, yea, means and mode, Were all determined by our God. 4 Vast were the settlements of grace On millions of the human race; And every favour, richly given, Flows from the high decree of heaven. 5 [In every mercy, full and free, A sovereign God I wish to see; To see how grace, free grace has reigned, In every blessing he ordained. 6 Yes, dearest Lord, ’tis my desire Thy wise appointments to admire; And trace the footsteps of my God, Through every path in Zion’s road.]

Rejoicing in God's Decrees

Author: Ryland Appears in 165 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Sovereign Ruler of the Skies Lyrics: 1 Sovereign Ruler of the skies, Ever gracious, ever wise; All my times are in thy hand, All events at thy command. 2 His decree who formed the earth Fixed my first and second birth; Parents, native place, and time, All appointed were by him. 3 He that formed me in the womb, He shall guide me to the tomb: All my times shall ever be Ordered by his wise decree. 4 [Times of sickness; times of health; Times of penury and wealth; Times of trial and of grief; Times of triumph and relief; 5 Times the tempter’s power to prove; Times to taste the Saviour’s love; All must come, and last, and end, As shall please my heavenly Friend.] 6 Plagues and deaths around me fly; Till he bids, I cannot die; Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit.
