God Is Working His Purpose Out

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: Industry & Labor; Industry & Labor Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year: God is working his 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'er the church has gone, by the mouth of many messengers the call of God has come: Give ear to me, you continents; you isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 3 March we 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: fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their 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 done in vain unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvesttide 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 94:22 Used With Tune: PURPOSE

Unless the Lord the House Shall Build

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build, The weary builders toil in vain; Unless the Lord the city shield, The guards a useless watch maintain. 2 In vain you rise ere morning break, And late your nightly vigils keep, And of the bread of toil partake; God give to His beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are a great reward, A gift from God in very truth; With arrows is his quiver stored Who joys in children of his youth. 4 And blest the man whose age is cheered By stalwart sons and daughters fair; No enemies by him are feared, No lack of love, no want of care. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: ILLA

My Soul, Bless the Lord! the Lord is Most Great

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts has He laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O’er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams ’mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day, And there the beasts gather their thirst to allay. 5 He waters the hills with rain from the skies, And plentiful grass and herbs He supplies, Supplying the cattle, and blessing man’s toil With bread in abundance, with wine and with oil. 6 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, And over the earth their branches are spread; They keep in their shelter the birds of the air, The life of each creature the Lord makes His care. 7 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound, The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground; To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might, Let God in His creatures forever delight. 8 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, While sinners depart in ruin complete; My soul, bless Jehovah, His Name be adored, Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: HOUGHTON

Lord, Through All the Generations

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Labor Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)
