Scripture: Psalm 147:13-18

Thus didst Thou our souls deliver From the bonds of sin forever; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only, That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless Thy soul did languish To bring comfort in our anguish; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; To my latest breath I'll offer Thanks for all that Thou didst suffer, For that last last expiring sigh Praise Thee evermore on high. Amen. Used With Tune: JESU, MEINES LEBENS LEBEN

The Works of the Lord Are Created

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: God in Creation God's Work in Nature; God Goodness; God Transcendence; God Wisdom; Nature First Line: The works of the Lord are created in wisdom Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom! We view the earth's wonders and call him to mind; we hear what he says in the world we discover, and God show his glory in all that we find. 2 Not even the angels have ever been granted to tell the full story of nature and grace; but open to God is all human perception, the mysteries of time and the secrets of space. 3 The sun every morning lights up all creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honor, adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn. 4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal, the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice; the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds, the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice. 5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it, and where find the skill to perfect all God's praise? At work in all places, he cares for all peoples-- how great is the Lord to the end of all days! Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Used With Tune: KREMSER Text Sources: Based on Ecclesiasticus 42, 43

Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Good works profit men, not God; Works good profit men, not God 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

Backward with humble shame we look

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Good Works Lyrics: Backward with humble shame we look On our original; How is our nature dashed and broke In our first father's fall! To all that's good averse and blind, But prone to all that's ill What dreadful darkness veils our mind! How obstinate our will! [Conceived in sin, O wretched state! Before we draw our breath The first young pulse begins to beat Iniquity and death. How strong in our degen'rate blood The old corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked flood, Wanders through all our veins.] [Wild and unwholesome as the root Will all the branches be; How can we hope for living fruit From such a deadly tree? What mortal power from things unclean Can pure productions bring? Who can command a vital stream From an infected spring?] Yet, mighty God! thy wondrous love Can make our nature clean, While Christ and grace prevail above The tempter, death, and sin. The second Adam shall restore The ruins of the first; Hosannah to that sovereign power That new-creates our dust! Scripture: Romans 5:12

We raise our shouts, O God, to thee, And send them to thy throne; All glory to th' united Three, The undivided One. 'Twas he (and we'll adore his name) That formed us by a word; 'Tis he restores our ruined frame: Salvation to the Lord!

We sing the glories of thy love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Good Works Lyrics: We sing the glories of thy love, We sound thy dreadful name; The Christian church unites the songs Of Moses and the Lamb. Great God! how wondrous are thy works Of vengeance and of grace! Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord, How just and true thy ways! Who dares refuse to fear thy name, Or worship at thy throne? Thy judgments speak thine holiness Through all the nations known. Great Babylon that rules the earth, Drunk with the martyrs' blood, Her crimes shall speedily awake The fury of our God. The cup of wrath is ready mixed, And she must drink the dregs: Strong is the Lord, her sovereign Judge, And shall fulfil the plagues. Scripture: Revelation 15:3
