Not unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #115B (2012) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Idols and Idolatry Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heaven,
but unto you be glory given.
In love and truth you do fulfill
the counsels of your sovereign will;
though nations fail your power to own,
yet you still reign, and you alone.
2 The idol gods of heathen lands
are but the work of human hands;
they cannot see, they cannot speak,
their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;
like them shall be all those who hold
to gods of silver and of gold.
3 So let us trust in God alone,
the Lord, whose grace and power are known;
and our complete allegiance yield
to God who is our help and shield.
Join, heaven and earth, in sweet accord;
sing "Hallelujah, praise the Lord!" Scripture: Psalm 115 Tune Title: VATER UNSER
Not unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
Not for Ourselves, O Lord
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #115C (2012) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Idols and Idolatry First Line: Not for ourselves, O Lord, not for ourselves Lyrics: 1 Not for ourselves, O Lord, not for ourselves,
would we claim glory, but for you alone,
because of your great love and faithfulness,
the steadfast care that makes your presence known.
2 The worldly say of us: "Where is their God?"
They vainly look for what they idolize,
for flaunted wealth, for burnished images,
and trim all gods to their own shape and size.
3 But we will trust in God, our help and shield,
transcendent Life on whom all lives depend,
whose untold mercies give our spirits voice
to bless the Lord in songs that never end.
Scripture: Psalm 115 Tune Title: TOULON
Not for Ourselves, O Lord
Not to ourselves, who are but Dust
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P115a (1766) Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but Dust,
Not to ourselves is Glory due,
Eternal GOD, Thou only Just,
Thou only Gracious, Wise, and True.
2 Shine forth in all thy dreadful Name;
Why should a Heathen's haughty Tongue
Insult us, and to raise our Shame,
Say, Where's the GOD you've serv'd so long?
3 The GOD we serve maintains his Throne
Above the clouds, beyond the Skies,
Through all the Earth his Will is done,
He knows our Groans, he hears our Cries.
4 But the vain Idols they adore,
Are senseless Shapes of Stone and Wood;
At best a Mass of glitt'ring Ore,
A silver Saint or golden God.
5 [With Eyes and Ears they carve their Head;
Deaf are their Ears, their Eyes are blind;
In vain are costly Off'rings made,
And Vows are scatter'd in the Wind.
6 Their Feet were never made to move,
Nor Hands to save when Mortals pray,
Mortals that pay them Fear or Love
Seem to be blind and deaf as they.]
7 O Isr'el, make the Lord thy Hope,
Thy Help, thy Refuge, and thy Rest;
The Lord shall build thy Ruins up,
And bless the People and the Priest.
8 The Dead no more can speak thy Praise,
They dwell in Silence and the Grave;
But we shall live to sing thy Grace,
And tell the World thy Pow'r to save. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English
Not to ourselves, who are but Dust
Not to our Names, thou only Just and True
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P115b (1766) Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: 1 Not to our Names, thou only Just and True,
Not to our worthless Names is Glory due;
Thy Pow'r & Grace, thy Truth & Justice claim
Immortal Honours to thy sov'reign Name.
Shine through the earth from Heav'n, thy blest Abode
Nor let the Heathens say, "And where's your God?
2 Heav'n is thine higher Court: There stands thy Throne,
And thro' the lower Worlds thy Will is done;
Our God fram'd all this Earth, these Heav'ns he spread,
But Fools adore the Gods their Hands have made.
The kneeling Croud with Looks devout behold
Their Silver Saviours, and their Saints of Gold.
3 [Vain are those artful Shapes of Eyes and Ears;
The molten Image neither sees nor hears;
Their Hands are helpless, nor their Feet can move,
They have no Speech, nor Thought, nor Pow'r, nor Love;
Yet sottish Mortals make their long Complaints
To their deaf Idols and their moveless Saints.
4 The Rich have Statues well adorn'd with Gold,
The Poor content with Gods of coarser Mould,
With Tools of Iron carve the senseless Stock,
Lopt from a Tree, or broken from a Rock;
People and Priest drive on the solemn Trade,
And trust the Gods, that Saws and Hammers made.]
5 Be Heav'n and Earth amaz'd! 'Tis hard to say
Which is more stupid, or their Gods, or they,
O Isr'el, trust the Lord: He hears and sees,
He knows thy Sorrows and restores thy Peace:
His Worship does a thousand Comforts yield,
He is thy Help, and he thy heav'nly Shield.
6 O Britain, trust the Lord: Thy Foes in vain
Attempt thy Ruin, and oppose his Reign;
Had they prevail'd, Darkness had clos'd our Days,
And Death and Silence had forbid his Praise:
But we are sav'd, and live; Let Songs arise,
And Britons bless the GOD that built the Skies. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English
Not to our Names, thou only Just and True
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics:
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Of our Redeemer, God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,
Or trample on his blood?
What if he choose mysterious ways
To cleanse us from our faults?
May not the works of sovereign grace
Transcend our feeble thoughts?
What if his gospel bids us fight
With flesh, and self, and sin,
The prize is most divinely bright
That we are called to win.
What if the foolish and the poor
His glorious grace partake,
This but confirms his truth the more,
For so the prophets spake.
Do some that own his sacred name
Indulge their souls in sin?
Jesus should never bear the blame,
His laws are pure and clean.
Then let our faith grow firm and strong,
Our lips profess his word;
Nor blush nor fear to walk among
The men that love the Lord.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Jesus Calls Us, O'er the Tumult
Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #121 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Idols/Idolatry Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us, o’er the tumult
of our life’s wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, “Christian, follow me.”
2 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world’s golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying “Christian, love me more.”
3 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christian, love me more than these.”
5 Jesus calls us! By your mercy,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Scripture: Exodus 20:3 Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
