God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand
Author: Daniel Crane Roberts Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 419 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147:12-15 Lyrics: 1 God of the ages, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past.
In this free land by thee our lot is cast.
Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay:
thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
be thy strong arm our ever sure defense.
Thy true religion in our hearts increase.
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way.
Lead us from night to never-ending day.
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the child of God who sings;
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
we joyfully pursue
the theme of God’s salvation,
and find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say:
'Now let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may:
3 'it can bring with it nothing
but God will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people, too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed,
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.'
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
their looked-for fruit should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds, be there,
yet, God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.
Topics: Adversity; Confidence; Fear; Healing; Hope; Joy; Providence Used With Tune: PETITION

Of our eternal King.
2 Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,
And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And our redeeming God.

As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along
Speaks all the promises.

But whisper, "Thou art Mine,"
Those gentle words should raise my song
To notes almost divine.

To speak his wisdom all-divine.

The Lord's appointed day.

And send thy heralds forth;

And keep not back, O North.

Where'er they rest or roam,
Have heard thy voice in distant lands,
And hasten to their home. Topics: The Christian Church Missionary; Emancipation Day
