Works of Creation and Providence
Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 First Line: Ye holy souls, in God rejoice Lyrics: 1 Ye holy souls in God rejoice,
Your Maker's praise becomes your voice,
Great is your theme, your songs be new;
Sing of his name, his word, his ways,
His works of nature and of grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!
2 Behold, to earth's remotest ends,
His goodness shows, his truth extends;
His pow'r the heav'nly arches spread;
His word, with energy divine,
Bad starry hosts around them shine,
And light the circling heav'ns pervade.
3 His hand collects the flowing seas;
Those wat'ry treasures know their place,
And fill the storehouse of the deep:
He spake, and gave all nature birth;
And fires and seas, and heav'n and earth
His everlasting orders keep.
4 Let mortals tremble and adore
A God of such resistless pow'r,
Nor dare indulge their feeble rage:
Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands,
But his eternal counsel stands,
And rules the world from age to age.

When in Our Music God Is Glorified
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:1-9 Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!
3 So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
Alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!
5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia!

What God Ordains Is Always Good
Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1708 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 with repeat Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Lyrics: 1 What God ordains is always good:
his will is just and holy.
As he directs my life for me,
I follow meek and lowly.
My God indeed in ev'ry need
knows well how he will shield me;
to him, then, I will yield me.
2 What God ordains is always good:
he is my friend and Father.
He will not let me suffer harm
though many storms may gather.
Now I may know both joy and woe;
some day I shall see clearly
that he has loved me dearly.
3 What God ordains is always good:
though I the cup am drinking
which savors now of bitterness,
I take it without shrinking.
For after grief God grants relief,
my heart with comfort filling
and all my sorrow stilling.
4 What God ordains is always good:
this truth remains unshaken.
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
I shall not be forsaken.
I fear no harm, for with his arm
he will embrace and shield me;
so to my God I yield me. Topics: Hope and Comfort Used With Tune: RODIGAST NEW Text Sources: Tr.: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941, alt.

What shall we pray for those who died
When strangers stand and hear me tell
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics:
When strangers stand and hear me tell
What beauties in my Savior dwell,
Where he is gone they fain would know,
That they may seek and love him too.
My best Beloved keeps his throne
On hills of light, in worlds unknown;
But he descends and shows his face
In the young gardens of his grace.
[In vineyards planted by his hand,
Where fruitful trees in order stand;
He feeds among the spicy beds,
Where lilies show their spotless heads.
He has engrossed my warmest love,
No earthly charms my soul can move:
I have a mansion in his heart,
Nor death nor hell shall make us part.]
[He takes my soul ere I'm aware,
And shows me where his glories are;
No chariot of Amminadib
The heav'nly rapture can describe.
O may my spirit daily rise
On wings of faith above the skies,
Till death shall make my last remove,
To dwell for ever with my Love.]

When strangers stand and hear me tell
We are a garden wall'd around
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics:
We are a garden walled around,
Chosen and made peculiar ground;
A little spot enclosed by grace
Out of the world's wide wilderness.
Like trees of myrrh and spice we stand,
Planted by God the Father's hand;
And all his springs in Zion flow,
To make the young plantation grow.
Awake, O, heav'nly wind! and come,
Blow on this garden of perfume;
Spirit divine! descend and breathe
A gracious gale on plants beneath.
Make our best spices flow abroad,
To entertain our Savior God
And faith, and love, and joy appear,
And every grace be active here.
[Let my Beloved come and taste
His pleasant fruits at his own feast:
"I come, my spouse, I come!" he cries,
With love and pleasure in his eyes.
Our Lord into his garden comes,
Well pleased to smell our poor perfumes,
And calls us to a feast divine,
Sweeter than honey, milk, or wine.
"Eat of the tree of life, my friends,
The blessings that my Father sends;
Your taste shall all my dainties prove,
And drink abundance of my love:"
Jesus, we will frequent thy board,
And sing the bounties of our Lord;
But the rich food on which we live
Demands more praise than tongues can give.]

When the disciples refuge sought
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics: 1 When the disciples refuge sought
To sham the stubborn Jews;
When they had neither hope or thought,
They hear'd a welcome new's.
2 Their doors were bolted, bar'd & lock'd,
To guard them in their fears;
The Saviour neither call'd nor knock'd,
But suddenly appears.
3 My peace be unto you he said:
My peace to you is giv'n;
You need not doubt nor be affraid,
I am your Lord from heav'n.
4 That they might be convinc'd and know:
And fully satisfied;
His wounded hands to them did show,
Likewise his pierced side.
5 Thus with all saints it is the case,
When Jesus is withdrawn;
When he appears to hide his face,
Then all our joys are gone.
6 Like the disciples they feel sad,
Like them they feel distress'd;
A view of Jesus makes them glad,
And sooth's their minds to rest.
7 Let us assemble, watch and pray,
As faithful servants do!
Till Jesus visits us and say,
My peace be unto you. Topics: First Sunday after Easter
When the disciples refuge sought
