Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 670 hymnals Used With Tune: POTSDAM

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Not ours the glory make, Lord, give not us the fame; but for thy truth and mercy's sake ascribe it to thy name! 2 To say, Where is their God, why should the heathen dare? Since he in heaven hath his abode, and works his pleasure there. 3 Men's hand their idols make of silver and of gold; mouths have they, but they cannot speak; eyes, but they nought behold. 4 Their ears are senseless too; their nostrils smelling not; their hands and feet nor feel nor go, nor speak they through their throat. 5 All those who them adore, or form them, like them be; O Israel, trust God evermore, for our defence is he. 6 On God, who shields the just, let Aaron's house depend; let those who fear him in him trust, for he will such defend. 7 God hath remembers us, and will his mercy show; on Israel, and on Aaron's house, he blessings will bestow. 8 Of high and low degree, all those that him adore he keeps; and you and yours shall he increase yet more and more. 9 Blest of the Lord are ye, who made both earth and heaven; heaven for himself created he, but earth to men hath given. 10 Their voice they cannot raise, who down to silence go; but we, from this time forth, his praise for evermore will show.

Not by Thy mighty hand

Author: James R. Woodford Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: Not by thy mighty hand, Thy wondrous works alone, But by the marvels of thy word, Thy glory, Lord, is known. Forth from the eternal gates, Thine everlasting home, To sow the seed of truth below, Thou didst vouchsafe to come. And still from age to age, Thou, gracious Lord, hast been The Bearer forth of goodly seed The Sower still unseen. And thou wilt come again, And heaven beneath thee bow, To reap the harvest thou hast sown, Sower and Reaper thou. Watch, Lord, thy harvest field With thine unsleeping eye, The children of the Kingdom keep To thy Epiphany; That when, in thy great day, The tares shall severed be, We may be surely gathered in With all thy saints to thee. Amen. Topics: Sundays after Epiphany Used With Tune: POTSDAM
