O Praise the Lord, For He Is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:1-9 Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good,
his mercies still endure;
thus say the ransomed of the Lord,
from all their foes secure.
2 He gathered them from out the lands,
from north, south, east and west.
They strayed in desert's pathless way,
No city found for rest.
3 Their weary soul within them faints
when thirst and hunger press;
in trouble then they cried to God,
he saved them from distress.
4 He made the way before them straight,
himself became their guide,
that they might to a city go
wherein they might abide.
5 O that men would Jehovah praise
for all his kindness shown,
and for his works so wonderful
which he to men makes known!
6 Because the longing soul by him
with food is satisfied,
the hungry soul that looks to him
with goodness is supplied.

With healing balm my soul he fills,
the God who every sorrow stills.
To God all praise and glory!

his gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning dawn or evening shade
his watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
within the kingdom of his might,
lo, all is just and all is right.
To God all praise and glory!
3 I cried to him in time of need:
Lord God, O hear my calling!
For death he gave me life indeed
and kept my feet from falling.
For this my thanks shall endless be;
O thank him, thank our God, with me.
To God all praise and glory!

to God give praise and glory!

To God all praise and glory!

and banish fear and sadness;
to your Redeemer pay your vow
and sing with joy and gladness:
Though great distress my soul befell,
the Lord, my God, did all things well,
To God all praise and glory! Topics: God His perfections; Election; Covenant of Grace; God Faithfulness of; God Praise of; God Providence of; God Works of; Salvation by Grace Used With Tune: MIT FREUDEN ZART

Be Still, My Soul

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.

who through all changes faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
to guide the future surely as the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord;
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

To God your grateful Voices raise
Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 To God your grateful Voices raise,
Who does your daily Patron prove:
And let your never-ceasing Praise
Attend on his eternal Love.
2,3 Let those give Thanks whom he from Bands
Of proud oppressing foes releas'd;
And brought them back from distant lands,
From North and South, and West and East.
4,5 Through lonely desart Ways they went,
Nor cou'd a peopled City find;
'Till quite with Thirst and Hunger spent,
Their fainting soul within them pin'd.
6 Then soon to God's indulgent Ear
Did they their mournful Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear,
And freed them from their deep Distress.
7 From crooked Paths he led them forth,
And in the certain Way did guide,
To wealthy Towns of great Resort,
Where all their Wants were well supply'd.
8 O then that all the Earth, with me,
Would God for this his Goodness praise!
And for the mighty works which he
Throughout the wond'ring World displays!
9 For he from Heav'n the sad Estate
Of longing souls with Pity views;
To hungry souls that pant for Meat,
His Goodness daily Food renews.
Part II
10 Some lie, with Darkness compass'd round,
In Death's uncomfortable shade;
And with unweildy Fetters bound,
By pressing Cares more heavy made.
11,12 Because God's Counsel they defy'd,
And lightly priz'd his holy word,
With these Afflictions they were try'd:
They fell, and none could Help afford.
13 Then soon to God's indulgent Ear
Did they their mournful Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsaf'd to hear,
And freed them from their deep Distress.
14 From dismal Dungeons, dark as Night.
And Shades as black as Death's Abode,
He brought them forth to chearful Light,
And welcome Liberty bestow'd.
15 O then that all the Earth, with me,
Would God for this his Goodness praise!
And for the mighty works which he
Throughout the wond'ring World displays!
16 For he with his almighty Hand,
The Gates of Brass in Pieces broke;
Nor cou'd the massy Bars withstand,
Or temper'd Steel resist his Stroke.
Part III
17 Remorseless Wretches, void of Sense,
With bold Transgressions God defy;
And for their multiply'd Offence,
Oppress'd with sore Diseases lie:
18 Their soul, a Prey to Pain and Fear,
Abhors to taste the choicest Meats;
And they by faint Degrees draw near
To Death's inhospitable Gates.
19 Then straight to God's indulgent Ear,
Do they their mournful Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsafes to hear,
And frees them from their deep Distress.
20 He all their sad Distempers heals,
His Word both Health and Safety gives;
And when all human Succour fails,
From near Destruction them retrieves.
21 O then that all the Earth, with me
would God for this his Goodness praise!
And for the mighty Works which he
Throughout the wond'ring World displays!
22 With Off'rings let his Altar flame,
Whilst they their grateful Thanks express,
And with loud Joy his holy Name
for all his Acts of Wonder bless?
Part IV
23,24 They that in Ships, with Courage bold,
O'er swelling Waves their Trade pursue,
Do God's amazing works behold,
And in the Deep his Wonders view.
25 No sooner his Command is past,
But forth the dreadful Tempest flies,
Which sweeps the Sea with rapid Haste,
And makes the stormy Billows rise.
26 Sometimes the Ships, toss'd up to heav'n,
On tops of mountain Waves appear;
Then down the steep Abyss are driv'n,
Whilst ev'ry soul dissolves with Fear.
27 They reel and stagger to and fro,
Like Men with fumes of Wine oppress'd;
Nor do the skilful Seamen know
Which Way to steer, what Course is best.
28 Then straight to God's indulgent Ear
They do their mournful Cry address;
Who graciously vouchsafes to hear,
And frees them from their deep Distress.
29,30 He does the raging Storm appease,
And makes the Billows calm and still;
With Joy they see their Fury cease,
And their intended Course fulfil.
31 O then that all the Earth, with me,
Would God for this his Goodness praise!
And for the mighty Works which he
Throughout the wond'ring world displays!
32 Let them, where all the Tribes resort,
Advance to Heav'n his glorious Name,
And in the Elders sov'reign Court
With one Consent his Praise proclaim!
Part V
33,34 A fruitful Land, where Streams abound,
God's just Revenge, if People sin,
Will turn to dry and barren Ground,
To punish those that dwell therein.
35,36 The parch'd and desart Heath he makes
To flow with Streams and springing Wells,
Which for his Lot the Hungry takes,
And in strong Cities safely dwells.
37,38 he sows the Field, the Vineyard plants,
which gratefully his Toil repay;
Nor can, whilst God his Blessing grants,
His fruitful Seed or Stock decay.
29 But when his Sins Heav'n's Wrath provoke,
His Health and Substance fade away;
He feels th' Oppressor's gauling Yoke,
And is of Grief the wretched Prey.
40 The prince that slights what God commands,
Expos'd to Scorn, must quit his Throne;
And over wild and desart lands,
Where no path offers, stray alone.
41 Whilst God, from all afflicting Cares,
Sets up the humble Man on high;
And makes in time his num'rous Heirs
With his increasing Flocks to vie.
42,43 Then Sinners shall have nought to say,
The Just a decent Joy shall show;
The Wise these strange Events shall weigh,
And thence God's Goodness fully know.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:25 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain:
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain.
