Scripture: Psalm 37:4

Not Unto Us, O Lord of Heaven

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heaven, But unto Thee be glory given; In love and truth Thou dost fulfill The counsels of Thy sovereign will; Though nations fail Thy power to own, Yet Thou dost reign, and Thou alone. 2 The idol gods of heathen lands Are but the work of human hands: They cannot see, they cannot speak, Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak; Like them shall be all those who hold To gods of silver and of gold. 3 Let Israel trust in God alone, The Lord Whose grace and power are known; To Him your full allegiance yield, And He will be your help and shield; All those who fear Him God will bless, His saints have proved His faithfulness. 4 All ye that fear Him and adore, The Lord increase you more and more; Both great and small who Him confess, You and your children He will bless; Yea, blest are ye of Him who made The heavens, and earth's foundations laid. 5 The heavens are God's since time began, But He has given the earth to man; The dead praise not the living God, But we will sound His praise abroad, Yea, we will ever bless His Name; Praise ye the Lord, His praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: GAIRNEY BRIDGE

Jesus the Man of constant Grief

Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Man of constant Grief, A Mourner all his Days; His Spirit once rejoic'd aloud, And turn'd his Joy to Praise. 2 Father, I thank thy wond'rous Love, That hath reveal'd thy Son To Men unlearned; and to Babes Has made thy Gospel known. 3 The Myst'ries of redeeming Grace Are hidden from the Wise, While Pride and Carnal Reas'nings join To swell and blind their Eyes. 4 Thus doth the Lord of Heav'n and Earth His great Decrees fulfil, And orders all his Works of Grace By his own Sov'reign Will. Scripture: Luke 10:21

Behold the Potter and the Clay

Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Behold the Potter and the Clay, He forms his Vessels as he please: Such is our God, and such are we; The subjects of his high Decrees. 2 Doth not the Workman's Pow'r extend O'er all the Mass, which Part to choose, And mould it for nobler End, And which to leave for viler Use?] 3 May not the Sov'reign Lord on high Dispense his Favours as he will; Choose some to Life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? [4 What if to make his Terror known, He lets his Patience long endure, Suff'ring vile Rebels to go on, And seal their own Destruction sure? 5 What if he means to show his Grace, And his electing Love employs To mark out some of mortal Race, And form them fit for heav'nly Joys?] 6 Shall Man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's Ways unjust, The Thunder of whose dreadful Word Can crush a thousand Worlds to Dust? 7 But, O my Soul, if Truth so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written Will obey, And wait the great decisive Day. 8 Then shall he make his Justice known, And the whole World before his Throne, With Joy, or Terror, shall confess The Glory of his Righteousness. Scripture: Romans 9:21-24
