Whate'er my God ordains is right
Author: Samuel Rodigast; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Holy his will abideth;
I will be still whate'er he doth;
And follow where he guideth:
He is my God:
Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to him I leave it all.
2 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path;
I know he will not leave me:
I take, content,
What he hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait his day.
3 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking:
My God is true;
Each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.
4 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet am I not forsaken;
My Father's care Is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall:
And so to him I leave it all.
Amen. Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT

Providence
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: Decrees; Decrees First Line: Keep silence, all created things! Lyrics: 1 Keep silence, all created things!
And wait your Maker's nod;
My soul stands trembling, while she sings
The honors of her God.
2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown,
Hang on his firm decree;
He sits on no precarious throne,
Nor borrows leave to be.
3 His providence unfolds the book,
And makes his counsels shine;
Each opening leaf, and every stroke,
Fulfills some deep design.
4 My God! I would not long to see
My fate with curious eyes
What gloomy lines are writ for me,
Or what bright scenes may rise.
5 In thy fair book of life and grace,
Oh, may I find my name
Recorded in some humble place,
Beneath my Lord, the Lamb. Used With Tune: ST. ANN'S

Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.
3 Eternally, with all its years,
Stands present in thy view;
To thee there's nothing old appears
Great God! there's nothing new.
4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vexed with trifling cares;
While thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

Atonement made

Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell,--we bless his name,--
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.
2 'Twas his own purpose that began
To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.
3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
4 He dies; and in that dreadful night
Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light,
And takes possession of the joy. Scripture: Matthew 28:6 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
And the people vainly dream
That in triumph they can wage
War against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
And the rulers plotting say:
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away,
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
Calm He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea, I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown,
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear,
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take,
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

O Praise Ye the Name of Jehovah
Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 O praise ye the Name of Jehovah,
Proclaim ye His glory abroad;
O praise Him, ye servants appointed
To stand in the house of our God.
2 O praise ye the Lord for His goodness;
'Tis pleasant His praises to sing;
His people, His chosen and precious,
Your praises with gratitude bring.
3 I know that the Lord is almighty,
Supreme is dominion is He,
Performing His will and good pleasure
In heaven and in earth and the sea.
4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses,
The lightning flames forth at His will,
The wind and the rain He releases
His sovereign designs to fulfill.
5 To ransom His people from bondage
Great wonders and signs He displayed;
He smote all the first-born of Egypt,
Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed.
6 Great nations and kings that opposed Him
Were smitten by God's mighty hand;
Their riches He gave to His people,
And made them inherit the land.
7 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah,
Through all generations renowned;
The Lord is the Judge of His people,
His mercies forever abound.
8 Men's idols of gold and of silver
Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see;
Like them shall their makers be helpless,
Unblest shall their worshipers be.
9 Ye people who worship Jehovah,
His praises with gladness proclaim;
His servants, and all ye that fear Him,
Sing praise to His glorious Name.
10 O Church of our God, sing His praises,
For with you and in you He dwells;
O sing Hallelujahs before Him,
Whose glory all praises excels. Scripture: Psalm 135 Used With Tune: JANET

God Moves In a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,
finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.

never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
not a blast of hurry, touch the spirit there. [Refrain]
3 Ev'ry joy or trial falleth from above,
traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love.
We may trust him fully all for us to do;
they who trust him wholly find him wholly true. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 48:18 Used With Tune: WYE VALLEY
