Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast
of cruelty and of crime,
yet disregard God's steadfast love
which lasts throughout all time?
How razor-sharp your deadly tongue,
what treach'ry you devise!
You cling to evil, hate the good,
and love pernicious lies.
2 But God will tear you clean away
from all the wealth you own,
from home and fam'ly, life itself,
to reap what you have sown.
The righteous will look on in awe,
and with relief will say:
"We knew his trust was not in God;
in wealth and greed it lay."
3 But I am like an olive tree
that thrives in God's domain,
dependent on his steadfast love
whose pow'r can never wane.
I will forever give you praise
for what your hand has done,
hope in your name, and with your saints
make all your goodness known.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,162 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.
Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov'reign will.
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.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
3 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

When God Restored Our Common Life
Rebuke Me Not in Anger, LORD
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rebuke me not in anger, LORD:
restrain your wrath, I pray;
grant that your child be yet restored,
not judged and cast away.
I feel your arrows deep within,
I sink beneath your hand
and underneath a weight of sin
too great for me to stand.
2 For sinful folly now I pay:
I'm humbled to the ground,
as I go mourning all the day
and no relief is found.
I feel my body racked with pain,
diseased in ev'ry part,
so crushed that I cannot contain
the groanings of my heart.
3 My longings, Lord, to you are known,
you see my ev'ry tear;
my strength, my sight are almost gone,
my friends will not come near.
And others lay their deadly snares,
all day they plot and lie;
like one who neither speaks nor hears,
I offer no reply.
4 In you, O LORD, my hope I place:
Lord, answer when I call;
let those not jeer at my distress,
who long to see me fall.
My foothold is about to go,
my torment will not cease;
and my iniquity I know:
my sin permits no peace.
5 My foes are many and are strong,
their hatred has no cause;
my kindness they repay with wrong,
although I keep your laws.
O LORD, be with me to the last,
remain forever near;
come to my rescue, come with haste:
O Lord, my Savior, hear!
