Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts (Psalm 9)
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts
still strong in memory stand
to give us hope when evil seems
to gain the upper hand.
Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love,
for wonders new and old:
for fire and cloud, for daily food,
for mercies yet untold.
2 Though monuments of evil rise
in marble, gilt, and stone,
time’s search will find their boasts untrue,
their makers’ names unknown.
Mute avenues of ruins will mark
where once proud cities stood,
but from destruction God will save
the faithful, just, and good.
3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power
usurped by mortal pride;
deflate the hollow pomp of those
whom rank and titles hide.
Let not the needy cry unheard,
the suffering hope in vain;
restore the fallen, bless the meek,
till peace and justice reign.

A Fierce Unrest
Author: Don Marquis, 1878-1937 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: A fierce unrest seethes at the core Lyrics: 1 A fierce unrest seethes at the core
of all existing things:
it was the eager wish to soar
that gave the gods their wings.
There throbs through all the worlds that are
this heartbeat hot and strong,
and shaken systems, star by star,
awake and glow in song.
2 But for the urge of this unrest
these joyous spheres are mute;
but for the rebel in our breast
had we remained as brutes.
When baffled lips demanded speech,
speech trembled into birth;
one day the lyric word shall reach
from earth to laughing earth.
3 From deed to dream, from dream to deed,
from daring hope to hope,
the restless wish, the instant need,
still drove us up the slope.
Sing we no governed firmament,
cold, ordered, regular;
we sing the stinging discontent
that leaps from star to star. Topics: Humanist Teachings Humanity: Women and Men; Evolution; Faith Used With Tune: SALVATION

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov'reign will.
2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
3 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

Rebuke Me Not in Anger, LORD
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Rebuke me not in anger, LORD:
restrain your wrath, I pray;
grant that your child be yet restored,
not judged and cast away.
I feel your arrows deep within,
I sink beneath your hand
and underneath a weight of sin
too great for me to stand.
2 For sinful folly now I pay:
I'm humbled to the ground,
as I go mourning all the day
and no relief is found.
I feel my body racked with pain,
diseased in ev'ry part,
so crushed that I cannot contain
the groanings of my heart.
3 My longings, Lord, to you are known,
you see my ev'ry tear;
my strength, my sight are almost gone,
my friends will not come near.
And others lay their deadly snares,
all day they plot and lie;
like one who neither speaks nor hears,
I offer no reply.
4 In you, O LORD, my hope I place:
Lord, answer when I call;
let those not jeer at my distress,
who long to see me fall.
My foothold is about to go,
my torment will not cease;
and my iniquity I know:
my sin permits no peace.
5 My foes are many and are strong,
their hatred has no cause;
my kindness they repay with wrong,
although I keep your laws.
O LORD, be with me to the last,
remain forever near;
come to my rescue, come with haste:
O Lord, my Savior, hear!

Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast
of cruelty and of crime,
yet disregard God's steadfast love
which lasts throughout all time?
How razor-sharp your deadly tongue,
what treach'ry you devise!
You cling to evil, hate the good,
and love pernicious lies.
2 But God will tear you clean away
from all the wealth you own,
from home and fam'ly, life itself,
to reap what you have sown.
The righteous will look on in awe,
and with relief will say:
"We knew his trust was not in God;
in wealth and greed it lay."
3 But I am like an olive tree
that thrives in God's domain,
dependent on his steadfast love
whose pow'r can never wane.
I will forever give you praise
for what your hand has done,
hope in your name, and with your saints
make all your goodness known.

To Thank the Lord Our God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: To thank the Lord our God it is Lyrics: 1 To thank the Lord our God it is
a good and comely thing,
and to thy name, O thou Most High,
due praise aloud to sing;
thy lovingkindness forth to show
when first appears the light,
and to declare thy faithfulness
with pleasure ev'ry night.
2 How great, Lord, are thy works;
each thought of thine, how deep it is!
A brutish mind this knoweth not:
fools understand not this.
No! through thy works, Lord, thou hast made
our souls right glad to be;
and in thy works we will triumph,
which have been wrought by thee.
3 Hosanna! Upright is the Lord:
he is a rock to me,
and he from all unrighteousness
is altogether free.
Lord, let thy grace and glory stand
on us thy servants thus;
conform the works we take in hand;
Lord, prosper them and us. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: SALVATION Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650 (variant from)
