God is our Refuge in distress

Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge in distress, A present help when dangers press; In Him, undaunted, we'll confide, Though earth were from her centre tost, And mountains in the ocean lost, Torn piecemeal by the roaring tide. 2 A gentler stream with gladness still The city of our Lord shall fill, The royal seat of God most high; God dwells in Sion, whose fair towers Shall mock th' assaults of earthly powers, While His Almighty aid is nigh. 3 Submit to God's Almighty sway, For Him the heathen shall obey, And earth her sovereign Lord confess: The God of hosts conducts our arms, Our tower of refuge in alarms, As to our fathers in distress.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines, Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own Interpreter, And He will make it plain.

God, my King, Thy might confessing

Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, my King, Thy might confessing, Ever will I bless Thy Name; Day by day Thy throne addressing, Still will I Thy praise proclaim. 2 Honour great our God befitteth; Who His Majesty can reach? Age to age His works transmitteth, Age to age His power shall teach. 3 They shall talk of all Thy glory, On Thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of Thy dread acts the story, And Thy deeds of wonder tell. 4 Nor shall fail from memory's treasure, Works by love and mercy wrought-- Works of love surpassing measure, Works of mercy passing thought. 5 Full of kindness and compassion, Slow to anger, vast in love, God is good to all creation; All His works His goodness prove. 6 All Thy works, O Lord, shall bless Thee; Thee shall all Thy saints adore; King supreme shall they confess Thee, And proclaim Thy sovereign power.

God of my life, O Lord most high

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, O Lord most high, To thee by day and night I cry; Vouchsafe my mournful voice to hear, To my distress incline Thine ear. 2 Like those whose strength and hopes are fled, They number me among the dead; Like those who, shrouded in the grave, From thee no more remembrance have. 3 Wilt Thou by miracle revive The dead, whom Thou forsook'st alive? Shall the mute grave thy love confess, A mouldering tomb Thy faithfulness? 4 To Thee, O Lord, I cry forlorn, My prayer prevents the early morn: Why hast Thou, Lord, my soul forsook, Nor once vouchsafed a gracious look? 5 Companions dear and friends beloved Far from my sight thou hast removed: God of my life, O Lord most high, Vouchsafe to hear my mournful cry!

God shall charge his angel legions

Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep. 2 On the lion vainly roaring, On the young, thy foot shall tread; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above. 4 Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save; Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.
