A general Song of Praise to GOD

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: God our Defense and Salvation; God our Defense and Salvation First Line: Among the princes, earthly gods Lyrics: 1 Among the princes, earthly gods, There’s none hath power divine; Nor is their nature, mighty Lord, Nor are their works like thine. 2 The nations, thou hast made shall bring Their off'rings round thy throne; For thou alone dost wondrous things, For thou art God alone. 3 Lord, I would walk with holy feet, Teach me thine heavenly ways, And all my wandering thoughts unite In God my father’s praise. 4 Great is thy mercy, and my tongue Shall those sweet wonders tell, How by thy grace my sinking soul Rose from the deeps of hell. Scripture: Psalm 86:8-13

No Trust in the Creatures; or, Faith in divine Grace and Power

Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Saints and Defense in God; Saints and Defense in God First Line: My spirit looks to God alone Lyrics: 1 My spirit looks to God alone; My rock and refuge is his throne; In all my fears, in all my straits, My soul on his salvation waits. 2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways, Pour out your hearts before his face: When helpers fail, and foes invade, God is our all-sufficient aid. 3 False are the men of high degree, The baser sort are vanity; Laid in the balance both appear Light as a puff of empty air. 4 Make not increasing gold your trust, Nor set your hearts on glittering dust; Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke, And not believe what God has spoke? 5 Once has his awful voice declar'd, Once and again my ears have heard, "All power is his eternal due;" He must be fear'd and trusted too. 6 For sovereign power reigns not alone, Grace is a partner of the throne: Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord, Shall well divide our last reward. Scripture: Psalm 62:5-12

Next to thine Angels is he plac'd, And Lord of all below. 5 Thine Honours crown his Head, While Beasts, like Slaves obey, And Birds that cut the Air with Wings, And Fish that cleave the Sea. 6 How rich thy Bounties are!

In thy mercy we confide; Safely to the end us guide; Zion, if thy Head depart, Void of life and strength thou art. 2 Gracious Lord, may we believe, Venture all on Thy free grace, Boldly things not seen achieve, Trusting in Thy promises. Faith Thy people’s stronghold is; Their employment daily this, To proceed on paths unknown, Leaning on Thine arm alone. 3 Lord, Thy body ne’er forsake, Ne’er Thy congregation leave; We to Thee our refuge take, Of Thy fullness we receive; Every other help be gone, Thou art our Support alone; For on Thy supreme commands All the universe depends.

Lyrics: 1 Praise God! Praise God with singing! Rejoice, thou Christian flock! Fear not though foes are bringing Their hosts against thy rock; For though they here assail thee And seek thy very life, Let not thy courage fail thee; Thy God shall turn the strife. 2 O be not thou dismayed, Believing little band. God, in His might arrayed, To help thee is at hand. Upon His palm engraven Thy name is ever found, He knows, Who dwells in heaven, The ills that thee surround. 3 His purpose stands unshaken— What He hath said He’ll do; And, when by all forsaken, His Church He will renew. With pity He beholds her E’en in her time of woe, Still by His Word upholds her And makes her thrive and grow. 4 To Him belong our praises, Who still abides our Lord, Bestowing gifts and graces According to His Word. Nor will He e’er forsake us, But will our Guardian be And ever stable make us In love and unity. Used With Tune: LOB GOTT
