Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.

Nor thorns infest the ground;

Far as the curse is found.

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteous,
And wonders of His love.

in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree,
then wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all praise we would render; O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee! Scripture: Job 28:21 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

God Is Working This Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: God Glory of Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out,
as year succeeds to year;
God is working this purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be:
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where human feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God:
“Give ear to me, ye continents,
ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.”
3 Let us go forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world.
Let us all fight with sorrow and sin
to set the captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed.
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Scripture: Psalm 127:1-2 Used With Tune: PURPOSE Text Sources: Church Missionary Hymn Book, 1899, alt.

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've 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.
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 th'oppressed and feeds the poor,
for none shall find God's promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind
and sends the laboring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise my God who lends me 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. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH
