Thou who art enthroned in glory

Author: Mrs. Lydia Jane Pierson Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Educational Institutions Lyrics: 1 Thou who art enthroned in glory, Crowned with love and robed in grace, Lo! we humbly bow before Thee, Offering up our songs of praise. Mighty God and gracious Saviour! Spirit of enduring grace, Come in Thine especial favor, With Thy glory fill this place. 2 We would celebrate the changes Which the passing years have made, Since our fathers—poor and strangers— Sought the Western forest’s shade. From Helvetia’s vine-clad mountains Came a little friendless band; By the rich Rhine’s infant fountains, Others left their fatherland. 3 Here the little vine, increasing, Spread its branches green and fair; Now by Thine especial blessing See how wide Thy vineyards are. Come and take the ripened cluster; All the vintage, Lord, is Thine; But let mercy temper justice, Where Thou meet’st a fruitless vine. 4 Let our institutions flourish, Sending forth a pious band, With the words of life to nourish All who hunger through the land. Zion spreads her hands before Thee; Come, and in her temples reign, While we give all praise and glory To the Triune God, Amen. Used With Tune: GUIDANCE

Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Religious Education Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove By Turns thine Anger and thy Love? There in a Glass our Hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought! Then they provoke him to his Face, Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain, And made their Travels long and vain; A tedious March through unknown Ways, Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days. 4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the Rock of their Abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise, As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes, While their rebellious Tempers prove False to his Cov'nant and his Love. 6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive The Men who not deserv'd to live; His Anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail, He saw Temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still, And led them to his holy Hill. Scripture: Psalm 78:32-72
