Mighty God! while angels bless thee

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 292 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: 2 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and awful praise. 3 For the grandeur of thy nature Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; 4 For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed be thy gentle reign. 5 For thy rich, thy free redemption Bright, though vailed in darkness long Thought is poor, and poor, expression; Who can sing that wondrous song? 6 Christ the brightness of thy glory, By thy mercy came to die; How can mortal tongue be silent? How can praise unmuttered lie? 7 Leaving all his exaltation, Bearing all our sin and woe, O, what love divine was shown us! Flow, my praise, forever flow. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

O worship the King, all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Appears in 1,201 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light; whose canopy, space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Used With Tune: LYONS

If thou but suffer God to guide thee, and hope in God through all thy ways, God will give strength, whate'er betide thee, and bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the rock that naught can move. 2. Only be still, and wait God's leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Maker's pleasure and all-discerning love hath sent; we know our inmost wants are known, for we are called to be God's own. 3. Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving; so do thine own part faithfully, and trust God's word; though undeserving, thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never yet forsook at need the soul that trusted God indeed. Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
