God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 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 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev'ry hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
Amen. Topics: God Divine Perfections of; God Glory of; God Infinity; God Sovereignty of ; Mystery of God's Ways; Trust in God Scripture: Genesis 50:20 Used With Tune: HERMON

Oh for a closer walk with God
Oh, Speed Thee, Christian, on Thy Way
Author: Bishop Onderdonk Appears in 96 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Oh, speed thee Christian, on thy way,
And to thy armor cling;
With girded loins the call obey
That grace and mercy bring.
2 There is a battle to be fought,
An upward race to run;
A crown of glory to be sought,
A victory to be won.
3 The shield of faith repels the dart
That Satan’s hand may throw;
His arrow cannot reach thy heart,
If Christ control the bow.
4. The glowing lamp of prayer will light
Thee on thy anxious road;
‘Twill keep the goal of heav’n in sight,
And guide thee to Thy God.
5 O, faint not, Christian, for thy sighs
Are heard before His throne;
The race must come before the prize,
The cross before the crown. Topics: Christian Conflict Used With Tune: HERMON

Have You Not Known, Have You Not Heard
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Have you not known, have you not heard
that firm remains on high
the everlasting throne of him
who formed the earth and sky?
2 Are you afraid his pow'r shall fail
when comes thine evil day?
And can an all-creating arm
grow weary or decay?
3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r
the Rock of Ages stands,
though him you cannot see, nor trace
the working of his hands.
4 He gives the conquest to the weak,
supports the fainting heart;
and courage in the evil hour
his heav'nly aids impart.
5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay,
and youthful vigor cease;
but they who wait upon the Lord
in strength shall still increase.
6 They with unwearied feet shall tread
the path of life divine;
with growing ardor onward move,
with growing brightness shine.
7 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar -
their wings are faith and love -
till, past the cloudy regions here,
they rise to heav'n above.

No evil will I fear;

We Love the Venerable House
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. We love the venerable house
Our fathers built to God;
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,
Their dust endears the sod.
2. Here holy thoughts a light have shed
From many a radiant face,
And prayers of humble virtue spread
The perfume of the place.
3. And anxious hearts have pondered here
The mystery of life,
And prayed th’eternal Light to clear
Their doubts and aid their strife.
4. From humble tenements around
Came up the pensive train,
And in the church a blessing found,
That filled their homes again.
5. For faith, and peace, and mighty love,
That from the Godhead flow,
Showed them the life of Heaven above
Springs from the life below.
6. They live with God their homes are dust;
Yet here their children pray,
And in this fleeting lifetime trust
To find the narrow way. Used With Tune: HERMON
