What Good Can Come?

Author: Susan H. Peterson Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: What good can come from faith alone? Refrain First Line: For faith alone is dead and vain Lyrics: 1 What good can come from faith alone? A man in need must deeds be shown. To say, God bless, keep warm, well fed— What good is that? Your faith is dead! Refrain: For faith alone is dead and vain; Without good works, there is no gain. For faith must prove itself by deeds, And faith by works is made complete. 2 You can’t have faith apart from deeds, And each good deed from faith proceeds. Belief in God is not enough; Even the demons do that much. [Refrain] 3 Our father Abraham was named A righteous man who had no blame; Because he offered up his son, His faith and actions worked as one. [Refrain] 4 To Rahab, though a prostitute, God did full righteousness impute. For she gave lodging to the spies And hid them from pursuers’ eyes. [Refrain] 5 Lord, may I put my faith to work; May I do good and never shirk. And may I ne’er be heard to say, My faith is all I need today. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What good can come from faith alone]

Give Thanks To God, He Reigns Above

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 128 hymnals First Line: Give thanks toGod, He reigns above Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, He reigns above; Kind are His thoughts, His name is Love; His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. Let the redeemèd of the Lord The wonders of His grace record; Israel, the nation whom He chose, And rescued from their mighty foes. 2 When God’s almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th’Egyptian yoke, They traced the desert, wandering round A wild and solitary ground. There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fixed abode; Nor food, nor fountain to assuage Their burning thirst or hunger’s rage. 3 In their distress, to God they cried; God was their Savior and their guide; He led their march far wandering round— ’Twas the right path to Canaan’s ground. Thus, when our first release we gain From sin’s old yoke, and Satan’s chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dangerous and a tiresome place. 4 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a powerful hand, And brings us to the heav’nly land. O let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great His works! How kind His ways! Let every tongue pronounce His praise.

The Word, The Uncreated Son

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The Word, the uncreated Son, When finite things began to be, Existing, God with God alone, Thou wast from all eternity! There, in Thy Father’s bosom laid, Ineffably begot by Him, Thou wast, before the worlds were made, God independent and supreme. 2 All-wise, all-good, almighty Lord, God over all Thou always art, Jehovah’s everlasting Word, Spoken into Thy creature’s heart; With God essentially the same, Distinct in personality, Thou art the absolute I AM, And all things made were made by Thee.
