Eternal Mind, Who Rules The Fates
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Eternal mind, who rules the fates
Of dying realms and rising states,
With one unchanged decree,
While we admire Thy vast affairs,
Say, can our little trifling cares
Afford a smile to Thee?
2 Thou scatter honors, crowns, and gold;
We fly to seize, and fight to hold
The bubbles and the oar:
So emmets struggle for a grain;
So boys their petty wars maintain
For shells upon the shore.
3 Here a vain man his scepter breaks,
The next a broken scepter takes,
And warriors win and lose;
This rolling world will never stand
Plundered and snatched from hand to hand,
As power decays or grows.
4 Earth’s but an atom: greedy swords
Carve it amongst a thousand lords,
And yet they can’t agree;
Let greedy swords still fight and slay,
I can be poor; but Lord, I pray
To sit and smile with Thee. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Horae Lyrica Book 1, 1706
Eternal Mind, Who Rules The Fates
The Lord Into His Garden Came
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 238 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord into His garden came
The spices yield a rich perfume,
The lilies grow and thrive:
Refreshing showers of grace divine,
From Jesus flow to every vine,
And make the dead revive.
2 O that this dry and barren ground
In springs of water may abound,
A fruitful soil become.
The desert blossom as the rose,
When Jesus conquers all His foes,
And makes His people one.
3 The glorious time is rolling on,
The gracious work is now begun;
My soul a witness is,
I taste and see the pardon free,
For all mankind, as well as me,
Who comes to Christ may live.
4 The worst of sinners here may find
A Savior pitiful and kind:
Who will them all receive.
None are too late who will repent;
Out of one sinner legions went,
The Lord did him relieve.
5 Come brethren, you that love the Lord,
And taste the sweetness of His word;
In Jesu’s way go on,
Our troubles and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home.
6 I feel that Heaven is now begun,
It issues from the sparkling throne;
From Jesu’s throne on high
It comes like floods, we can’t contain,
We drink, and drink, and drink again;
And yet we still are dry.
7 But when we come to reign above,
And all surround a throne of love,
We’ll drink a full supply.
Jesus will lead His armies through,
To living fountains where they flow,
That never will run dry.
8 ’Tis there we’ll reign, and shout, and sing,
And make the upper regions ring;
When all the saints get home.
Come on, come on! my brethren dear,
Soon we shall meet together there:
For Jesus bids us come.
9 Amen! amen! my soul replies,
I’m bound to meet you in the skies,
And claim my mansions sure.
Now here’s my heart, and here’s my hand,
To meet you in the heavenly land,
Where we shall part no more. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Christian's Duty (Germantown, PA: Peter Leibert, 1801)
The Lord Into His Garden Came
How great the goodness kept in store
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great the goodness kept in store
For those who fear thee and adore
In meek humility.
How great the deeds with mercy fraught
Which openly thy hand has wrought
For those who trust in thee.
2 Secured by thine unfailing grace,
In thee they find a hiding-place
When foes their plots devise;
A sure retreat thou wilt prepare,
And keep them safely sheltered there,
When strife of tongues shall rise.
3 Blest be the Lord, for he has showed,
While giving me a safe abode,
His love beyond compare;
Although his face he seemed to hide,
He ever heard me when I cried,
And made my wants his care.
4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve,
For he the faithful will preserve,
And shield from men of pride;
Be strong, and let your hearts be brave,
All ye that wait for him to save,
In God the Lord confide.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Trust in God; God Refuge; Grace Fulness of Scripture: Psalm 31:19-24 Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Peace And Good Will
Author: Harriet M. Kimball Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Peace and good will, good will and peace!" Lyrics: 1 "Peace and good will, good will and peace!"
Year after year with sweet increase
The heav’nly carol swells:
The holy tale of Jesu’s birth
In ever widening circles earth
With tongues unnumbered tells.
2 Once more the vision glorified
Appears with blessèd Christmastide—
The virgin full of grace;
And in her arms the Child divine,
The God-Man born of David’s line,
New head of Adam’s race.
3 The very nature that we wear,
His Godhead veiled, He stoops to share
In great humility;
And angel legions round Him close
And Heav’n with boundless praise o’erflows
That such a love could be.
4 But neither round His infant brow
The crown of thorns (pre-woven now)
Created eyes behold;
Nor in those infant arms that reach
In mute appeal, in lieu of speech,
The cross those arms infold.
5 Yet crown of thorns and holy rood
(The tree of life, the mystic wood),
His spotless sacrifice,
His anguish and His triumph, all
Are shadowed here in Bethlehem’s stall
Though hidden from our eyes.
6 Here, too, begins His wondrous reign;
Confessors, martyrs, lead His train
Of humble souls and pure;
Not of this world His kingdom is;
All others fade away, but His
Forever shall endure.
7 His sword is truth, His armor love;
His Spirit as a tender dove
Broods o’er this troubled life;
He pities, pardons, strengthens, feeds;
He binds the breaking heart that bleeds;
To peace transformeth strife.
8 Where’er the Marah waters spring
Of want or wrong or suffering
And men of Him entreat,
His cross all crimsoned with His blood
He casts into the bitter flood
And makes those waters sweet.
9 "Peace and good will, good will and peace!"
What wonder that with glad increase
The heav’nly carol swells;
And on the story of His birth
In ever widening circles earth
With wondering rapture dwells! Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Poems (New York: Anson D. F. Randolph, 1889)
