Though Troubles Assail Us

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 435 hymnals Topics: Works of Providence First Line: Though troubles assail us and dangers affright Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail us and dangers affright, though friends should all fail us and foes all unite, yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, the promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; from them let us learn to trust God for our bread. His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied so long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan assails us to stop up our path, and courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, this heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 No strength of our own and no goodness we claim; yet, since we have known of the Savior's great name, in this our strong tower for safety we hide: the Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide." Scripture: Philippians 4:19 Used With Tune: JOANNA (OR ST. DENIO) Text Sources: The New Christian Hymnal, 1929

High in the heavens, eternal God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Works of Providence Lyrics: 1 High in the heav'ns, Eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through ev'ry cloud That veils and darkens thy designs. 2 For ever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. 4 My God, how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wing. 5 From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. 6 Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy Word. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 Used With Tune: ALSACE

The Man Who Once Has Found Abode

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Works of Providence Lyrics: 1 The man who once has found abode, within the secret place of God shall with Almighty God abide, and in his shadow safely hide. 2 I therefore of the Lord will say, he is my refuge and my stay; my citadel of strength is he — My God in whom my trust shall be. 3 For he shall with his watchful care preserve thee from the fowler's snare; yea, he shall be thy sure defense against the deadly pestilence. 4 His outspread pinions shall thee hide, beneath his wings shalt thou confide. His faithfulness shall ever be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 No nightly terrors shall alarm, no deadly shaft by day shall harm; nor pestilence that walks by night, nor plagues that waste in noonday light. 6 Because his angels he commands to bear thee safely in their hands, to guard thy ways, lest left alone, thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 "Because he set his love on Me, from danger I will set him free. Because to him My name is known, On high I'll set him as Mine own." Scripture: Psalm 91:1-14 Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE Text Sources: Reformed Presbyterian Book of Psalms, 1940

Adoration and Submission

Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Praise For Works of Providence First Line: Now with joyful exultation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation Let us sing Jehovah's praise; To the Rock of our salvation Loud hosannas let us raise; Thankful tribute gladly bringing, Let us come before Him now, And, with psalms His praises singing, Joyful in His presence bow. 2 For, how great a God, and glorious, Is Jehovah Whom we sing; Over idol-gods victorious, Great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 798 hymnals Topics: The Godhead Creation and Providence; Works of God ; Nature, God revealed in ; God In Creation; God Works of; Starry Heavens; Sun, the Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though, in solemn silence, all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice or sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Used With Tune: CANTATE DOMINO
