Christ unseen, yet beloved

Christ unseen, yet beloved
Unsearchableness
Author: Elizabeth Scott Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Decrees Spiritual First Line: What finite power, with ceaseless toil Lyrics: 1 What finite power, with ceaseless toil,
Can fathom the eternal Mind?
Or who th' almighty Three in One
By searching, to perfection find?
2 Angels and men in vain may raise,
Harmonious their adoring songs;
The laboring thought sinks down, opprest,
And praises die upon their tongues.
3 Yet would I lift my trembling voice
A portion of his ways to sing;
And mingling with his meanest works,
My humble, grateful tribute bring. Scripture: Esther 6:1 Used With Tune: FOREST

Our Lord Jesus
Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Divine Decrees First Line: The Lord unto His Christ hath said Lyrics: 1 The Lord unto His Christ hath said,
I glory I enthrone Thee
Till all Thy foes in triumph led,
Their sov'reign King shall own Thee;
From Zion shall Jehovah send
Thy scepter, till before Thee bend
The knees of proud rebellion.
2 Thy people will be gladly Thine
When Thou shalt come victorious,
In holy beauty Thou shalt shine,
Like morning fair and glorious;
The word of God shall not depart:
The king of Righteousness Thou art,
A Royal Priest forever.
3 The Lord at Thy right hand shall smite
Earth's kings in indignation,
And He shall judge with sov'reign right
Thro'out His wide creation;
While living streams His strength sustain,
The Christ the victory shall gain,
Head over all exalted.
Scripture: Psalm 110 Used With Tune: BIRDSTOWN

In yonder heav'nly height;
Ye angels, all His hosts,
In joyful praise unite;
O sun and moon, declare His might,
Show forth His praise, ye stars of light.
2 Praise Him, ye highest heav'ns,
Praise Him, ye clouds that roll,
Created by His pow'r
And under His control,
Ye heav'ns that stand eternally,
Established by His firm decree.
3 Ye creatures in the sea
And creatures on the earth,
Your mighty Maker praise
And tell His matchless worth;
Praise Him, ye stormy winds that blow,
Ye fire and hail, ye rain and snow.
4 Ye hills and mountains, praise,
Each tree and beast and bird;
Ye kings and realms of earth,
Now let your praise be heard;
By high and low, by young and old,
Be all His praise and glory told.
5 By all let God be praised,
For He alone is great;
Above the earth and heav'n
He reigns in glorious state;
Praise Him, ye saints, who know His grace
And ever dwell before His face. Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: AMELIA

Predestination
Author: Paice Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Fix'd was the eternal state of man Lyrics: 1 Fixed was the eternal state of man,
Ere time its rapid course began;
Appointed, by God’s firm decree,
To endless joy or misery.
2 Fixed was the vast eternal deep
Between the goats and chosen sheep;
Nor can a union e’er take place
’Twixt heirs of wrath and heirs of grace.
3 [Yet erring men make much ado,
And strive to force a passage through;
But, ah! what vain attempt is this,
To strive to ford that deep abyss!]
4 All glory to the great I AM,
Who chose me in the blessed Lamb;
Whilst millions of the human race
Will never know or taste his grace;
5 And blessings on atoning blood,
By which I’m reconciled to God;
And praise be to the Spirit given,
Who frees from sin and leads to heaven.
Predestination
Predestination
Author: Burnham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: 'Twas fix'd in God's eternal mind Lyrics: 1 ’Twas fixed in God’s eternal mind
When his dear sons should mercy find;
From everlasting he decreed
When every good should be conveyed.
2 Determined was the manner how
Eternal favours he’d bestow;
Yea, he decreed the very place
Where he would show triumphant grace.
3 Also the means were fixed upon
Through which his sovereign love should run.
So time and place, yea, means and mode,
Were all determined by our God.
4 Vast were the settlements of grace
On millions of the human race;
And every favour, richly given,
Flows from the high decree of heaven.
5 [In every mercy, full and free,
A sovereign God I wish to see;
To see how grace, free grace has reigned,
In every blessing he ordained.
6 Yes, dearest Lord, ’tis my desire
Thy wise appointments to admire;
And trace the footsteps of my God,
Through every path in Zion’s road.]

But love Thy law, Thy truth revealed;
My steadfast hope is in Thy word;
Thou art my refuge and my shield;
The paths of sin I have not trod,
But kept the precepts of my God.
2 According to thy gracious word
Uphold me, Lord, deliver me;
O do not let me be ashamed
Of patient hope and trust in Thee;
O hold Thou me, and I shall stand
And ever follow Thy command.
3 The froward Thou hast set at nought,
Who vainly wander from the right;
The wicked Thou dost count as dross;
Thy just decrees are my delight;
For fear of Thee I stand in awe
And rev'rence Thy most holy law. Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: HANDY

Rejoicing in God's Decrees
Author: Ryland Appears in 165 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: Sovereign Ruler of the Skies Lyrics: 1 Sovereign Ruler of the skies,
Ever gracious, ever wise;
All my times are in thy hand,
All events at thy command.
2 His decree who formed the earth
Fixed my first and second birth;
Parents, native place, and time,
All appointed were by him.
3 He that formed me in the womb,
He shall guide me to the tomb:
All my times shall ever be
Ordered by his wise decree.
4 [Times of sickness; times of health;
Times of penury and wealth;
Times of trial and of grief;
Times of triumph and relief;
5 Times the tempter’s power to prove;
Times to taste the Saviour’s love;
All must come, and last, and end,
As shall please my heavenly Friend.]
6 Plagues and deaths around me fly;
Till he bids, I cannot die;
Not a single shaft can hit,
Till the God of love sees fit.
