God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,146 hymnals Topics: War and Revolution 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 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you 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. Scripture: Job 42:1-3 Used With Tune: DUNDEE

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: War and Revolution Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever present aid, and therefore, though the earth be moved, we will not be afraid-- though hills into the seas be cast, though foaming billows roar, though all the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the LORD Most High has his abode. Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand; for God will hasten to her aid when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations rage, the kingdoms move, but when his voice was heard, earth melts with trembling fear before the thunder of his word. The LORD of hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come and see what wondrous works the hand of God has done; come, see what desolation great he brings beneath the sun. In every corner of the earth he causes wars to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, the LORD whom all must claim; and every nation of the earth shall magnify my name." The LORD of hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: NOEL (GERARD) Text Sources: Scottish Psalter 1650

In 1878 he began a ministry at St. Paul Church in Concord, New Hampshire, that lasted for twenty-three years. Serving for many years president of the New Hampshire State Historical Society, Roberts once wrote, "I remain a country parson, known only within my small world," but his hymn "God of Our Fathers" brought him widespread recognition.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Felix Mendelssohn Topics: War and Revolution Adapter and Harmonizer of "MUNICH" in Lift Up Your Hearts Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
