A Vindication of God's Ways

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 8 hymnals 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.

Good Shepherd, You Know Us

Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Good Shepherd, you know us, you call us by name Lyrics: 1 Good Shepherd, you know us, you call us by name. You lead us; we gladly acknowledge your claim. Your voice has compelled us; we come at your call. And none you have chosen will finally fall. 2 Good Shepherd, you warn us of robbers and thieves, The hireling, the wolf who destroys and deceives. All praise for your promise on which we shall stand, That no one can snatch us from out of your hand. 3 Good Shepherd, you lay down your life for the sheep. Your love is not fickle, your gift is not cheap. You spend your life freely, you take it again. You died, so we live; we are healed by your pain. 4 At one with the Father, you made yourself known: "I am the Good Shepherd," at one with your own. You loved us before we had heeded or heard; By grace we respond to your life-giving word. Topics: Trust; Easter IV A; Easter IV B; Easter IV C Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

A Love Song

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: In holiness brilliant, in righteousness bright Lyrics: 1. In holiness brilliant, in righteousness bright, Yet sweet in compassion with touch soft and light, My Father in ravishing love now draws nigh, To cherish my soul as the gem of His eye. 2. His covenant promise, His mighty right arm, Embrace me securely and keep me from harm. His faithful, longsuffering, infinite grace Will bring me home safe, where He’ll show me His face. 3. Till then, my days pass in the palm of His hand; His Word whispers comfort in every command. His Promise sustains me; my triumph is won: My mansion is bought with the blood of His Son. 4. The work of His Spirit goes on in my heart, Restoring His image within by His art, His workmanship Godlike, His skill so divine, His voice speaks within me: Be still, and be Mine. 5. Though dark be the valley, though steep be the hill, My comfort, my refuge, is my Father’s will! His sweet, soft compassion will fit me aright For holiness brilliant and righteousness bright.

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day: A potter, you form us, your people, like clay. A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost. A parent, you love us, not counting the cost. Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands! You labored among us; our God understands! Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed; Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed. Lord, some live among us who need constant care, Whose work is to make us more humbly aware. They teach us the best of your lessons, by far: It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are! We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do, That we, through our serving, may glorify you. Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.
