Let the whole Race of Creatures lie

Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: God's Decrees Lyrics: 1 Let the whole Race of Creatures lie Abas'd before their God; Whate'er his sov'reign Voice has form'd He governs with a Nod. [2 Ten Thousand Ages e'er the Skies Were into Motion brought; All the long Years, and Worlds to come, Stood present to his Thought. 3 There's not a Sparrow, or a Worm, But's found in his Decrees; He raises Monarchs to their Thrones, And sinks them as he please.] 4 If Light attends the Course I run, 'Tis he provides those Rays; And 'tis his Hand that hides my Sun, If Darkness clouds my Days. 5 Yet I would not be much concern'd, Nor vainly long to see The Volume of his deep Decrees, What Months are writ for me. 6 When he reveals the Book of Life, O may I read my Name Amongst the chosen of his Love, The Foll'wers of the Lamb.

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers plotting say: Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea, I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown, Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear; Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear, Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take, But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN
