God hitherto hath been my Guide, Hath pleasures hitherto supplied, And hitherto hath helped me. 2 I praise and thank Thee, Lord, my God, For Thine abundant blessing Which heretofore Thou hast bestowed And I am still possessing. Inscribe this on my memory: The Lord hath done great things for me And graciously hath helped me. 3 Help me henceforth, O God of grace, Help me on each occasion, Help me in each and ev'ry place, Help me through Jesus' Passion; Help me in life and death, O God, Help me through Jesus' dying blood; Help me as Thou hast helped me.

Great things the Lord hath done for me, And so my song shall ever be: The Lord my God doth help me. 3 Be Thou my Helper evermore, My Refuge, my High Tower; Uphold me as in days of yore And let me feel Thy power.

The mouth of fools doth God confess

Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh Him Their heart is full of wickedness, And all their deeds deny Him. Corrupt are they, and ev'ry one Abominable deeds hath done; There is not one well-doer. 2 The Lord looked from His high tower On all mankind below Him To see if any owned His power, Who truly sought to know Him; Who all their understanding bent To search His holy Word, intent To do His will in earnest. 3 But none there was who walked with God, For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden; Not one there was who practiced good, Though many deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds to God were pleasing. 4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will ye oppress the needy And eat my people up like bread? So fierce are ye and greedy! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trouble call, But be their own providers. 5 Therefore their heart is never still, A falling leaf dismays them, God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts Him and obeys Him; But ye the poor man's hope despise, And mock him when he humbly cries That God is his sure comfort. 6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race From Zion bring salvation? God will Himself at length show grace, And loose the captive nation; That will He do by Christ their King; Let Jacob then be glad and sing And Israel be joyful.

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Let all creation bless the Lord Lyrics: 1 Let all creation bless the Lord, till heaven with praise is ringing. Sun, moon, and stars, peal out a chord, stir up the angels' singing. Sing, wind and rain! Sing, snow and sleet! make music, day, night, cold and heat: exalt the God who made you. 2 All living things upon the earth, green fertile hills and mountains, sing to the God who gave you birth; be joyful, springs and fountains. Lithe waterlife, bright airborne birds, wild roving beasts, tame flocks and herds: exalt the God who made you. 3 O men and women everywhere, lift up a hymn of glory; let all who know God's steadfast care tell out salvation's story. No tongue be silent; sing your part, you humble souls and meek of heart: exalt the God who made you. Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH
