Governing Power and Goodness; or, Our Grace tried by Afflictions
Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Afflictions trying our graces; Grace Tried by Affliction; Afflictions trying our graces; Grace Tried by Affliction First Line: Sing, all the nations to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Sing, all ye nations to the Lord,
Sing with a joyful noise;
With melody of sound record
His honours and your joys.
2 Say to the Power that form'd the sky,
"How terrible art thou!
"Sinners before thy presence fly,
"Or at thy feet they bow."
3 [Come see the wonders of our God,
How glorious are his ways?
In Moses hand he puts his rod,
And clave the frighted seas.
4 He made the ebbing channel dry,
While Israel pass'd the flood;
There did the church begin their joy,
And triumph in their God.]
5 He rules by his resistless might:
Will rebel mortals dare
Provoke th’ Eternal to the fight,
And tempt that dreadful war.
6 Oh bless our God, and never cease;
Ye saints, fulfil his praise;
He keeps our life, maintains our peace,
And guides our doubtful ways.
7 Lord, thou hast prov'd our suffering souls,
To make our graces shine;
So silver bears the burning coals,
The metal to refine.
8 Through watery deeps and fiery ways
We march at thy command,
Led to possess the promis'd place
By thine unerring hand. Scripture: Psalm 66
Governing Power and Goodness; or, Our Grace tried by Afflictions
God of the morning, at whose voice
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Afflictions removed by prayer Lyrics:
God of the morning! at whose voice
The cheerful sun makes haste to rise,
And like a giant doth rejoice
To run his journey through the skies.
From the fair chambers of the east
The circuit of his race begins,
And, without weariness or rest,
Round the whole earth he flies and shines.
O like the sun may I fulfil
Th' appointed duties of the day,
With ready mind and active will
March on and keep my heav'nly way.
[But I shall rove and lose the race,
If God, my sun, should disappear,
And leave me in this world's wild maze,
To follow every wand'ring star.
Lord, thy commands are clean and pure,
Enlight'ning our beclouded eyes;
Thy threat'nings just, thy promise sure,
Thy gospel makes the simple wise.]
Give me thy counsel for my guide,
And then receive me to thy bliss;
All my desires and hopes beside
Are faint and cold compared with this.
Scripture: Psalm 19:5
God of the morning, at whose voice
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Afflictions removed by prayer Lyrics:
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep,
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things
My God in safety makes me dwell
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
[Faith in his name forbids my fear;
O may thy presence ne'er depart!
And in the morning make me hear
The love and kindness of thy heart.
Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.]
Scripture: Psalm 4:8
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Let the wild leopards of the wood
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Afflicted saints happy Lyrics:
Let the wild leopards of the wood
Put off the spots that nature gives,
Then may the wicked turn to God,
And change their tempers and their lives.
As well might Ethiopian slaves
Wash out the darkness of their skin,
The deed as well might leave their graves,
As old transgressors cease to sin.
Where vice has held its empire long,
'Twill not endure the least control;
None but a power divinely strong
Can turn the current of the soul.
Great God! I own thy power divine
That works to change this heart of mine;
I would be formed anew, and bless
The wonders of creating grace.
Scripture: Psalm 73

Thus saith the high and lofty One
Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Afflictions removed Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the high and Lofty One:
"I sit upon my holy Throne;
"My Name is God, I dwell on high;
"Dwell in my own Eternity.
2 "But I descend to Worlds below,
"On Earth I have a Mansion too;
"The humble Spirit and contrite
"Is an Abode of my Delight.
3 "The humble Soul my Words revive,
"I bid the mourning Sinner live;
"Heal all the broken Hearts I find,
"And ease the Sorrows of the Mind.
4 "When I contend against their Sin,
"I make them know how vile they've been,
"But should my Wrath for ever smoke,
"Their Souls would sink beneath my Stroke."
5 O may thy pard'ning Grace be nigh,
Lest we should faint, despair and die!
Thus shall our better Thoughts approve
The Methods of thy chast'ning Love.
Scripture: Isaiah 57:15-16

In the floods of tribulation
Meter: Irregular Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Sweet Affliction—A Song in a Storm Lyrics: 1 In the floods of tribulation,
While the billows o'er me roll,
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord,
2 Thus the lion yields me honey,
From the eater food is given,
Strengthen'd thus, I still press forward,
Singing as I wade to heaven,--
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
And my sins are all forgiv'n.
3 Floods of tribulation heighten,
Billows still around me roar,
Those that know not Christ--ye frighten,
But my soul defies your power;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord,
4 In the sacred page recorded
Thus his word securely stands;
'Fear not, I'm in trouble near thee,
Naught shall pluck you from my hands:'
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction
Every word my love demands,
5 All I meet I find assist me
In my path to heavenly joy,
Where, though trials now attend me,
Trials never more annoy:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord,
6 Bless'd there with a weight of glory,
Still the path I'll ne'er forget,
But, exulting, cry, it led me
To my blessed Saviour's seat--
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
Which has brought to Jesus' feet.
In the floods of tribulation
Let Not the Wise Glory in Their Wisdom
Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Affliction Lyrics: Refrain:
Let not the wise glory in their wisdom.
Let not the mighty glory in their might.
Let not the rich glory in their riches,
let those who glory, glory in the LORD.
Hear this! Open your ears!
Listen, all people everywhere,
both great and small, rich and poor.
Listen to these words of wisdom! [Refrain]
Even the wise die.
They leave all their riches to others.
Their money will not let them live forever.
Their greatness cannot keep them from death. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 49 Used With Tune: [Let not the wise glory in their wisdom]
Let Not the Wise Glory in Their Wisdom
