Delivering Goodness acknowledged

Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: National deliverances celebrated First Line: Praise to the Lord, whose mighty hand Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord, whose mighty hand, So oft reveal'd hath sav'd our land; And, when united nations rose, Hath sham'd and scourg'd our haughtiest. 2 When mighty navies from afar To Britain's wafted floating war, His breath dispers'd them all with ease, And sunk their terrors in the seas. 3 While for our princes they prepare In caverns deep a burning snare; He shot from heaven a piercing ray, And the dark treachery brought to days. 4 Princes and priests again combine New chains to forge, new snares to twine; Again our gracious God appears, And breaks their chains, and cuts their snares. 5 Obedient winds at his command Convey his hero to our land; The sons of Rome with terror view, And speed their flight when non pursue. 6 Such great deliverance God hath wrought, And down to us salvation brought; And still the care of guardian-heaven Secures the bliss itself hath given. 7 In thee we trust, almighty Lord, Continu'd rescue to afford: Still be thy powerful arm made bare, For all thy servants' hopes are there. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:10

Herren han er min Hyrde god

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Hymns at Bridal Celebrations Lyrics: 1 Herren han er min Hyrde god, Min Vægter go min Nærer, Thi falder alting mig til Fod, Alt Godt han mig beskjærer: Mig sjal ei fattes Sjælens Fod', Og hvad der hør til dagligt Brød; Vel mig vor saadan Herre! 2 Som Hyrden driver ud sin' Faar Paa deilig' Græsgang' grønne, Og fører dem til rindende Aaer, Og til Vandstrømme skjønne, Saa gjør min Hyrde, Jesus Christ, Han føder Sjæl og legem vist, Hver faar sin Mad og Drikke. 3 Om jeg faar Lyst til verdslig' Ting, Min Sjæl han skal omvende, Og føre mig derfra omkring, Selv tage mig ved Hænde, Og lede mig saa tryg og fri Ved Ordet paa den trange Sti For sit Navns Skyld og Ære. 4 Hvad skal jeg derfor frygte mig? Din Almagt for mig freder, Dit Ord og Aand saa tryggelig Paa rette Vei mig leder; Trods Modgang og al Verdens Nød, Trods Helved' og den evig' Død, Din Kjep og Stav mig trøster. 5 Du er min Vært, jeg er din Gjæst, Din Dug du for mig breder, Og spiser mig med Føden bedst, Min Uven derved græder: Du sparer ingen Salve god, Den flyder fra min Top til Fod, Mit Væger og gaar over. 6 Jeg skal saa nyde mangeled Din Godhed her i Live, Og du med al din Kjærlighed Hos mig vil stedse blive; Derefter skal jeg evindelig Bo i dit Hus og Himmerig, Ei Ende faa de Dage. Scripture: Psalm 23

Hvor saligt var det Ægtepar

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Hymns at Bridal Celebrations Lyrics: 1 Hvor saligt var det Ægtepar I Cana overmaade, Hvor Jesus selv indbuden var Til dere Fryd og Baade! Den Bryllupsdag og Glædesfest Blev herlig af den Bryllupsgjest, Som giver evig Naade. 2 Men, some den Dag randt aldrig frem Fra gylden Morgenrøde, Jo nogen Sorg og Modgangs Klem Guds kjære Børn kan støde; Saa ren ser ikke Himlen ud, At jo en Sky med Storm og Slud Kan Middagssolen møde. 3 Saa gik det her de unge To I deres Bryllups Glæde, Dog Jesus, Verdens Sol og Ro, Personlig var tilstede; Han ogsaa Hjælpen komme lod, Forvandled' Vand til Vinen god Og stilled' Trang og Klage. 4 Naar du kan inden Døren er, O Jesu, lad da banke En ganske Røds og Modgangs Hær, Lad Sorrigs Vand sig sanke, Til alle Kar de fulde staa, Dog skal din TrOst dem overgaa, For du har Haand i Hanke! 5 Den Time kommer, naar du ser, Vort Kar vil overflyde,– Naar Alting trangt og Mørkt sig ter, Da skal din Hjælp frembryde, Da vil du vende Korsets Stand, Og Glædens Vin for Sorgens Vand I vore Hjerter gyde. 6 O Jesu, du, som Hjerter kan Alene sammenbinde I en lyksalig Ægestand, O lad din Hjælp sig finde Hos alle dim, som i din Frygt Har deres Løfter paa dig bygt, Lad Fryd for dem oprinde! 7 Giv Ære, Held og gode Raad, Giv tusindfoldig Lykke, Bekræft du selv al deres Daad Udi dit gode Tykke! Velsign du deres Hus og Liv, Og efter Døden dennem giv Din Himmels Æresmykke.
