Ye Servants of God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 669 hymnals First Line: Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful name; The name all victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious and rules over all. 2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save; And still He is nigh, His presence we have; The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 3 Salvation to God who sits on the throne, Let all cry aloud and honor the Son: The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim; Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. 4 Then let us adore and give Him His right; All glory and power, all wisdom and might; All honor and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you that for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, my grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply; the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; that soul, though all hell shall endeavor to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail. Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love, whom angels delight to worship above! Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze, in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

Though trouble assail us, and dangers affright

Author: John Newton Appears in 431 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright; Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without barn or store-house, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan appears to close up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, The heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain; The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain: But when such suggestions our graces have tried, This answer all questions, "The Lord will provide." 5 No strength of our own, nor goodness, we claim, Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' dear name; In this our strong tower, for safety we hide, The Lord is our power--"The Lord will provide. 6 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through; Not fearing or doubting, with Christ at our side, We'll still trust his promise, "The Lord will provide."

O Savior of all, Thy Word we believe! And come at Thy call, Thy grace to receive; The blessing is given wherever Thou art. The earnest of Heaven is love in the heart. 4. To us at Thy feet the Comforter give, Who gasp to admit Thy Spirit, and live; The weakest believers acknowledge for Thine, And fill us with rivers of water divine.

Begone Unbelief

Author: John Newton Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 256 hymnals First Line: Begone unbelief, my Savior is near Lyrics: 1. Begone unbelief, my Savior is near, And for my relief will surely appear: By prayer let me wrestle, and He wilt perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2. Though dark be my way, since He is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’tis His to provide; Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The Word He has spoken shall surely prevail. 3. His love in time past forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, Confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through. 4. Determined to save, He watched o’er my path, When Satan’s blind slave, I sported with death; And can He have taught me to trust in His name, And thus far have brought me, to put me to shame? 5. Why should I complain of want or distress, Temptation or pain? He told me no less: The heirs of salvation, I know from His Word, Through much tribulation must follow their Lord. 6. How bitter that cup, no heart can conceive, Which He drank quite up, that sinners might live! His way was much rougher, and darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I repine? 7. Since all that I meet shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, the medicine is food; Though painful at present, wilt cease before long, And then, O! how pleasant, the conqueror’s song!

Omnipotent King, Who Reignest On High

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Omnipotent King, who reignest on high, Thy mercy we sing, Thy haters defy; We give Thee Thy glory, though Satan oppose, And gladly adore Thee, in sight of Thy foes. 2 The reprobates dare their master proclaim, And loudly declare their sin and their shame; Presumptuous in evil, their god they avow, Their father the devil, and worship him now. 3 And shall we not sing our master and Lord, Our maker and king, by angels adored? Our merciful Savior, who brought us to God, And purchased us favor by shedding His blood. 4 Yes, Lord, we adore, though all men deny, And tell of Thy power, triumphantly nigh: O Jesus, we bless Thee, our ruler proclaim, And gladly confess Thee, for ever the same. 5 In tumult and noise, we sing of Thy grace, More mighty our joys, more hearty our praise; Our triumphs are higher, and warmer our zeal, And Thee ever nigher than Satan we feel. 6 The sinners we see, who Satan obey, Much happier we, much wiser than they; Our master is greater, He makes us His heirs, And O how much better our wages than theirs! 7 Our Jesus is near, whenever we sing, Among us we hear the shout of a king; Our voices are stronger than theirs who blaspheme, And surely we longer shall triumph than them.

And there the beast gather their thirst to allay.
