Or who among the mighty shares The likeness that Jehovah bears. 6 With fear and reverence at His feet God's holy ones in council meet; Yea, more than all about His throne Must He be feared, and He alone. 7 O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines. 8 The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. 9 The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein, are Thine; The whole creation's wondrous frame Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name.

How Blest Is He Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Joy Lyrics: 1 How blest is he whose trespass hath freely been forgiv'n, whose sin is wholly covered before the sight of heav'n. Blest he to whom Jehovah will not impute his sin, who hath a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief; thy hand was heavy on me, my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass, my sin hid not from thee, when I confessed transgression, then thou forgavest me. 3 So let the godly seek thee in times when thou art near; no whelming floods shall reach them, nor cause their hearts to fear. In thee, O Lord, I hid me, thou savest me from ill, and songs of thy salvation my heart with rapture thrill. 4 I graciously will teach thee the way that thou shalt go, and with my eye upon thee my counsel make thee know. But be ye not unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked in number shall abound, but those that trust Jehovah, his mercy shall surround. Then in the Lord be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, ye righteous; rejoice, ye saints, rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Peace and Joy Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, sing songs of love and praise; with joyful hearts and voices your alleluias raise! By him the rolling seasons in fruitful order move; sing to the Lord of harvest a song of happy love. 2 By him the clouds drop fatness, the deserts bloom and spring, the hills leap up in gladness, the valleys laugh and sing. He filleth with his fullness all things with large increase; he crowns the year with goodness, with plenty, and with peace. 3 Heap on his sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. 4 To God the gracious Father, who made us "very good," to Christ, who, when we wandered, restored us with his blood, and to the Holy Spirit, who doth upon us pour his blessed dews and sunshine, be praise forevermore.
