God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 1,131 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. 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. 3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 4 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain. God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Amen. Topics: God the Father His Providence; God the Father Care and Guidance Used With Tune: DUNDEE (French)

O God of Bethel, by Whose Hand

Author: Philip Doddridge; John Logan Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 378 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led, 2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace; God of past ages, be the God Of each succeeding race. 3 Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 O spread Thy covering wings around Till all our wanderings cease, And at our God’s beloved abode Our souls arrive in peace.

The Lion That on Sampson Roared

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The lion that on Sampson roared, And thirsted for his blood; With honey afterwards was stored, And furnished him with food. 2. Believers, as they pace along, With many lions meet; But gather sweetness from the strong, And from the eater, meat. 3. The lions rage and roar in vain, For Jesus is their Shield; Their losses prove a certain gain, Their troubles comfort yield. 4. The world and Satan join their strength, To fill their souls with fears; But crops of joy they reap at length, From what they sow in tears. 5. Afflictions make them love the Word, Stir up their hearts to prayer; And many precious proofs afford, Of their Redeemer’s care. 6. The lions roar but cannot kill, Then fear them not, my friends; They bring us, though against their will, The honey Jesus sends. Used With Tune: DUNDEE Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 24

New Wonders of Thy Mighty Hand

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler & others Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. New wonders of Thy mighty hand, Lord, we today admire, Writ on the firmament above In glittering orbs of fire. 2. The sun is ruler of the day, The silver moon of night, The starry hosts adorn the sky In ordered ranks of light. 3. But e’en that glorious sun must set, And knows his going down, That silver moon must wax and wane, The stars their courses own. 4. Still in an ever changing round The daylight comes and goes; But Thou art evermore the same, No change Thy mercy knows. 5. Why waver then our troubled hearts? Thine is a Father’s care; And they, eternal life who seek, Eternal life shall share. 6. All praise, all glory be ascribed To God the One in Three, Who bids us cast our care on Him, To Him for comfort flee.

Author: James D. Knowles, 1798-1738 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, though countless worlds of light, Thy power and glory show, Though round Thy throne, above all height, Immortal seraphs glow— 2. Yet, Lord, where’er Thy saints apart Are met for praise and prayer, Wherever sighs a contrite heart, Thou, gracious God, art there. 3. With grateful joy, Thy children rear This temple, Lord, to Thee; Long may they sing Thy praises here, And here Thy beauty see. 4. Here, Savior, deign Thy saints to meet; With peace their hearts to fill; And here, like Sharon’s odors sweet, May grace divine distill. 5. Here may Thy truth fresh triumphs win; Eternal Spirit, here. In many a heart now dead in sin, A living temple rear. Used With Tune: DUNDEE Text Sources: Appeared in the Baptist Psalmist, 1843

Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of him Who formed the earth and sky? 2 Art thou afraid his pow'r shall fail When comes thine evil day? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r The Rock of Ages stands, Though him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart, And courage in the evil hour His heav'nly aids impart. 5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life divine, With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 7 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar - Their wings are faith and love - Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heav'n above.
