Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!
How blind are we, how mean our praise!
Thy steps no mortal eyes explore;
'Tis ours to wonder and adore.
2 I do not ask that I may see
What in the future waits for me;
Let righteousness attend my days,
And thine shall be the humble praise.
3 Are darkness and distress my share?
Give me to trust thy guardian care;
Enough for me, if love divine
At length through every cloud shall shine.
4 Yet this my soul desires to know,
Be this my only wish below,
That Christ is mine! this great request,
Grant, bounteous God, and I am blest. Used With Tune: HEBRON

The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 261 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring,
The Lord omnipotent is King!
2 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just,
Holy and true are all his ways;
Let every creature speak his praise.
3 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains,
Your God is King, your Father reigns;
And he is at the Father's side,
The man of love, the Crucified.
4 Come, make your wants, your burdens known,
He will present them at the throne;
And angel bands are waiting there,
His messages of love to bear.
5 O when his wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, his love forsake,
Then may his children cease to sing,
The Lord omnipotent is King! Used With Tune: LUTON

Lord of all being, throned afar
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Appears in 449 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
Thy glory flames from sun and star,
Center and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn,
Our noontide is thy gracious dawn,
Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign,
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine!
4 Lord of all life, below, above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
Before thy ever-blazing throne
We ask no luster of our own.
5 Grant us thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for thee,
Till all thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame! Used With Tune: MILLER

Casting down their bright crowns around the glassy sea;
Thousands, and ten thousands worship low before thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

Though the eyes of man thy great glory may not see;
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity. Used With Tune: NICAEA

As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs
Author: Anon. Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs,
That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase,
So pants my soul for thee, great King of kings,
So thirst to reach thy sacred dwelling-place,

My tender shall gladden through the tedious day;
And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night,
To thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay.

Thy God the God of mercy still shall prove;
Within his courts thy thanks shall yet be paid;
Unquestioned be his faithfulness and love. Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

thy coming in.

shall keep thee henceforth, yea, forevermore. Scripture: Psalm 121 Used With Tune: SANDON
Unto the hills around
When in the hour of utmost need
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: God the Father Providence of Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need
We know not where to look for aid;
When days and nights of anxious thought
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought:
2 Then this our comfort is alone,
That we may meet before Thy throne,
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee
For rescue from our misery;
3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes,
Repenting sore with bitter sighs,
And seek Thy pardon for our sin,
And respite from our griefs within.
4 For Thou hast promised graciously
To hear all those who cry to Thee,
Through Him whose name alone is great,
Our Saviour and our Advocate.
5 And thus we come, O God, to-day,
And all our woes before Thee lay;
For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand,
Peril and foes on every hand.
6 Ah, hide not for our sins Thy face;
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace;
Be with us in our anguish still,
Free us at last from every ill;
7 That so with all our hearts we may
Once more our glad thanksgivings pay,
And walk obedient to Thy Word,
And now and ever praise Thee, Lord. Used With Tune: WHEN IN THE HOUR OF UTMOST NEED

With those who from him rove,
Till mighty grace their hearts subdues
To teach them "God is love."

This best of blessings prove,
Till warmer hearts in brighter worlds
Proclaim that "God is love." Used With Tune: ZERAH
