God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,133 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 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.

With Joy We Contemplate the Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 420 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:3 Lyrics: 1 With joy we contemplate the grace
of our High Priest above;
his heart is made of tenderness;
it overflows with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
he knows our feeble frame;
he knows what sore temptations mean,
for he has felt the same.
3 But spotless, innocent, and pure
the great Redeemer stood
while Satan's fiery darts he bore,
and did resist to blood.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
but raise it to a flame;
the bruised reed he never breaks,
nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
his mercy and his pow'r;
we shall obtain deliv'ring grace
in ev'ry needful hour.

God is working his purpose out,

when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God

2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where'er the church has gone,
by the mouth of many messengers
the call of God has come:
Give ear to me, you continents;
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world:
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is done in vain
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvesttide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 42:1-13: Behold my Servant! see him rise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-13 First Line: Behold my Servant! see him rise Lyrics:
Behold my Servant! see him rise
exalted in my might!
Him have I chosen, and in him
I place supreme delight.
On him, in rich effusion poured,
my Spirit shall descend;
My truths and judgments he shall show
to earth’s remotest end.
Gentle and still shall be his voice,
no threats from him proceed;
The smoking flax he shall not quench,
nor break the bruised reed.
The feeble spark to flames he’ll raise;
the weak will not despise;
Judgment he shall bring forth to truth,
and make the fallen rise.
The progress of his zeal and pow’r
shall never know decline,
Till foreign lands and distant isles
receive the law divine.
He who erected heav’ns bright arch,
and bade the planets roll,
Who peopled all the climes of earth,
and formed the human soul,
Thus saith the Lord, Thee have I raised,
my Prophet thee install;
In right I’ve raised thee, and in strength
I’ll succour whom I call.
132
I will establish with the lands
a covenant in thee,
To give the Gentile nations light,
and set the pris’ners free:
Asunder burst the gates of brass;
the iron fetters fall;
And gladsome light and liberty
are straight restored to all.
I am the Lord, and by the name
of great JEHOVAH known;
No idol shall usurp my praise,
nor mount into my throne.
Lo! former scenes, predicted once
conspicuous rise to view;
And future scenes, predicted now,
shall be accomplished too.
Sing to the Lord in joyful strains!
let earth his praise resound,
Ye who upon the ocean dwell,
and fill the isles around!
O city of the Lord! begin
the universal song;
And let the scattered villages
the cheerful notes prolong.
Let Kedar’s wilderness afar
lift up its lonely voice;
And let the tenants of the rock
with accents rude rejoice;
Till ‘midst the streams of distant lands
the islands sound his praise;
And all combined, with one accord,
JEHOVAH’s glories raise.

Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 604 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:21 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.

Takes all our sins away--
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.

On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.

To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Sacrifice

on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
his truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.

he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.

and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;

while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Used With Tune: OLD 113th

God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Author: Reginald Heber; William Mercer; Richard Whately Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 474 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:5 Lyrics: 1. God, who made the earth and heaven,
darkness and light:
you the day for work have given,
for rest the night.
May your angel guards defend us,
slumber sweet your mercy send us,
holy dreams and hopes attend us
all through the night.
2. And when morn again shall call us
to run life's way,
may we still, whate'er befall us,
your will obey.
From the power of evil hide us,
in the narrow pathway guide us,
never be your smile denied us
all through the day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
and, when we die,
maywe in your mighty keeping
all peaceful lie.
When the last dread call shall wake us,
then, O Lord, do not forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with you on high.
4 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
all holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
blest Three in One:
grant us grace, we now implore you,
till we lay our crowns before you,
and in worthier strains adore you
while ages run.
