But few among the carnal Wise

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 But few among the carnal Wise, But few of noble Race, Obtain the Favour of thine Eyes, Almighty King of Grace. 2 He takes the Men of meanest Name, For Sons and Heirs of God; And thus he pours abundant Shame On honorable Blood. 3 He calls the Fool, and makes him know The Myst'ries of his Grace, To bring aspiring Wisdom low, And all its Pride abase. 4 Nature has all its Glories lost, When brought before his Throne; No Flesh shall in his Presence boast, But in the Lord alone. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Ye Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; 'Tis comely that with joyful voice God's saints His Name should praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To Him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word, And all the doings of the Lord In justice have their birth. In judgment and in deeds of right The Lord forever takes delight, With goodness fills the earth. 3 Jehovah speaks, the heavens appear; He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere In splendor stands arrayed. He rolls the waters heap on heap, He stores away the mighty deep In garners for it made. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before Him stand; For lo, He spake and it was done, And all, with sovereign power begun, Stood fast at His command. 5 He makes the nations’ counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by His hand. Jehovah’s counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, Forevermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blest Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blest the people is whom He Has made His heritage to be, And chosen for His own.
