Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts
still strong in memory stand
to give us hope when evil seems
to gain the upper hand.
Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love,
for wonders new and old:
for fire and cloud, for daily food,
for mercies yet untold.
2 Though monuments of evil rise
in marble, gilt, and stone,
time’s search will find their boasts untrue,
their makers’ names unknown.
Mute avenues of ruins will mark
where once proud cities stood,
but from destruction God will save
the faithful, just, and good.
3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power
usurped by mortal pride,
deflate the hollow pomp of those
whom rank and titles hide.
Let not the needy cry unheard,
the suffering hope in vain;
restore the fallen, bless the meek,
till peace and justice reign.

Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast
of cruelty and of crime,
yet disregard God's steadfast love
which lasts throughout all time?
How razor-sharp your deadly tongue,
what treach'ry you devise!
You cling to evil, hate the good,
and love pernicious lies.
2 But God will tear you clean away
from all the wealth you own,
from home and fam'ly, life itself,
to reap what you have sown.
The righteous will look on in awe,
and with relief will say:
"We knew his trust was not in God;
in wealth and greed it lay."
3 But I am like an olive tree
that thrives in God's domain,
dependent on his steadfast love
whose pow'r can never wane.
I will forever give you praise
for what your hand has done,
hope in your name, and with your saints
make all your goodness known.
