For One Imprisoned for Righteousness' Sake
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Father of everlasting grace Lyrics: 1. Father of everlasting grace,
Thy awful providence we own,
Holy and just are all Thy ways,
Thy name be praised, Thy will be done.
2. Thy wise permissive will be bliss
Which lets the sons of night succeed,
With lawless might Thy servant seize
And trample on his guiltless head.
3. By Satan into prison cast,
His bonds Thy Gospel shall proclaim,
And Thou shalt bring him forth at last,
In honor of Thy glorious name.
4. Lord, we believe against his foes,
Thou soon shalt laugh their rage to scorn,
Confound who Thee and Thine oppose,
And all their hellish strength o’erturn. Used With Tune: MAINZER Text Sources: The Unpublished Poetry of Charles Wesley, by S. T. Kimbrough, Jr., & Oliver A. Beckerlegge (Nashville, Tennessee: Abingdon Press, 1992), page 311
For One Imprisoned for Righteousness' Sake
They come, God's messengers of love
Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They come, God’s messengers of love,
They come from realms of peace above,
From homes of never-fading light,
From blissful mansions ever bright.
2 They come to watch around us here,
To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear:
But chiefly, at our journey's end,
'Tis theirs the spirit to defend.
3 Blest Jesus, Thou Whose groans and tears
Have sanctified frail nature’s fears,
To earth in bitter sorrow weighed,
Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid.
4 An angel guard to us supply,
When on the bed of death we lie;
And by Thine own almighty power,
O shield us in that final hour.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant: St. Michael and all angels Used With Tune: MAINZER

God Is A Spirit, Great And Just
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God is a spirit, great and just;
We His dependent creatures are:
His pleasure called us from the dust;
His goodness keeps us, and His care.
2 He dwells enthroned in light on high;
He lives throughout the boundless whole;
Invisible to mortal eye,
Unsearchable by human soul.
3 To feeble man ’twas never giv’n
The great mysterious One to know,
To scan the majesty of Heav’n,
Or make His essence known below.
4 Enough for us, His sovereign Word
Reveals Him as the God of love,
The just, the ever gracious Lord,
Who can but righteousness approve.
5 Unfolds His blissful Heav’n above,
And glory for His children there;
While those who slight His offered love
Shall sink to darkness and despair.
6 There, also, is enough revealed,
To guide us in the way we go;
And what His wisdom has concealed
Might be but misery to know.
7 O, then adore th’eternal Mind
With wonder, gratitude, and fear;
Nor seek what man may never find,
The knowledge of His essence here. Used With Tune: MAINZER Text Sources: "The Incomprehensibility of Deity," 1811
