A Vindication of God's Ways
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Purpose of; Afflictions Purpose of; Afflictions Submission under; Cares; Character Good and Bad Contrasted; Christians Conflicts of; Contentment; Covetousness; Death Of the Wicked; Discontent; God Denial of; God Goodness of; Heart Good, Perfect, Pure and Upright; Pride; Prosperity Without God's Blessing; Resignation; Unbelief; The Wicked Fate of 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 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO
A Vindication of God's Ways
How Blest the Man Who Thoughtfully
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Betrayal of Christ; Evil Character; Doxologies; Christian Mercy; The Poor; Sickness Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully
The poor and weak befriends;
Deliverance in the evil day
To him Jehovah sends.
The Lord will keep him, guard his life,
On earth he shall be blest;
The Lord will not surrender him
By foes to be distressed.
2 Upon the bed of suffering
Jehovah will sustain,
And in his sickness God will soothe
The weariness and pain.
O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends,
Let me Thy mercy see;
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned,
I have offended Thee.
3 My enemies against me speak,
And they my life have scorned;
They wish my name to pass away,
Unhonored and unmourned.
My foe, deceitful, visits me,
By seeming kindness led,
His heart intent on gathering
Some hurtful news to spread.
4 My foes, together whispering,
Their evil plans devise;
Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
Laid low, he shall not rise.
Yea, he who was my chosen friend,
In whom I put my trust,
Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath
To crush me in the dust.
5 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace,
And raise me up again,
That I with justice may requite
These base and wicked men.
By this I know assuredly
That I am loved by Thee,
Because my foe does not exult
In triumph over me.
6 And as for me, in uprightness
Thou dost uphold me well,
And settest me before Thy face
Forevermore to dwell.
Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God
For evermore. Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Used With Tune: DEDEKAM

With wayward, wandering feet,
With sinners God will lead them forth,
The sinner's doom to meet.

Their helper and their guide,
Upon them let Thy grace and peace
For evermore abide. Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: ALBANO

His ear attentive to their cry,
Against the wicked sets His face,
From earth their mem'ry to erase.
2 The righteous cry, Jehovah hears,
And rescues them from all their fears;
The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts,
To contrite spirits help imparts.
3 Afflictions on the good must fall,
But God will bring them safe thro' all;
From harmful stroke He will defend,
And sure and full deliv'rance send.
4 By evil are the evil slain,
The hope of sinful men is vain;
The wicked, who the righteous hate,
Their condemnation shall be great.
5 The Lord redemption will provide
For all who in His grace confide;
From condemnation they are clear
Who trust in Him with holy fear. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: PENTECOST

Author: William W. How Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of; Christ light of the world; Christ Sun; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: O One with God the Father Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The brightness of his glory,
Eternal Light of light;
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before thee,
The world's true Light art thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:--
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That thou thyself hast trod;
We long to see the pathway
That leads to thee our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If thou thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of righteousness!
Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Used With Tune: SPITTA

Beauty and strength in His temple dwell.

Come with your off'rings and humbly draw near;
In holy beauty now worship Jehovah,
Tremble before Him with godly fear.
5 Make all the nations know God reigns forever;
Earth is established as He did decree;
Righteous and just is the King of the nations,
Judging the peoples with equity.
6 Let heav'n and earth be glad; waves of the ocean,
Forest and field, exultation express;
For God is coming, the Judge of the nations,
Coming to judge in His righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 96 Used With Tune: WESLEY
