O Lord, our fathers oft have told

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our fathers oft have told, In our attentive ears, Thy wonders in their days perform'd, And in more ancient years. 2 ’Twas not their courage, nor their sword, To them salvation gave; ’Twas not their number, nor their strength That did their country save. 3 But thy right hand, thy pow'rful arm; Whose succor they implor'd— Thy Providence protected those, Who thy great name ador'd. 4 As thee, their God, our fathers own'd, So thou art still our King; O therefore, as thou didst to them, To us deliv'rance bring. 5 To thee, the glory we'll ascribe, From whom salvation came; In God our shield we will rejoice, And ever bless thy name.

Great framer of unnumber'd worlds

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Public and National Blessings and Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Great framer of unnumber'd worlds, And whom unnumber'd worlds adore! Thy goodness all thy creatures share, And nature trembles at thy pow'r. 2 While suppliant crowds implore thine aid, To thee we raise the humble cry: Thine alter is the contrite heart; Thine incense a repentant sigh. 3 But if injustice grind the poor, Or av'rice stain the sordid hand, Or stern ambition thirst for blood, Or rude oppression waste the land: 4 The God, who hears the orphan's cry, The martyr's pray'r, and pris'ner's groan, Still list'ning to the poor opprest, Would spurn th' oppressor from him throne. 5 Yet, though enormous crimes abound, Should but a genuine sorrow rise; And, as new troubles threaten round 'Midts wasting wars and angry skies, 6 Should, in her sober hour, our land Confess thy hand and bless the rod: Thou still wouldst love to be her friend, Who lov'd to own thee as her God.

Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1

Scripture: Psalm 68:17-18

His counsel stands through every age, And in full glory shines. Scripture: Psalm 33
