O God, in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,128 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:3 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne’er be past
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God; who made the sky
and earth and seas, with all their train;
whose truth for ever stands secure,
who saves the oppressed, who feeds the poor,
whose promise none shall trust in vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
and sends the labouring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I’ll praise God while I'm granted breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures. Topics: Justice; Praise of God; Psalm 146 Used With Tune: NASHVILLE

The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Watts Appears in 267 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:1-2 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is build on high;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty;
His glories shine with beams so bright,
Nor mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand,
To guard his holy law;
And where his love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.
3 Through all his perfect work,
Surprising wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their cursed designs:
Strong is his arm--and shall fulfill
His great decrees, his sovereign will.
4 And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend--
And will he write his name,
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
Join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Justice; God Reigns

earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy Kingdom is hastening;
