To God the only wise

Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.

His counsel and His care,
Preserve us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.

Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of His face,
With joys divinely great.

Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
And make His wonders known.

Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs. Used With Tune: GARDEN CITY

Psalm 146 (A Responsorial Setting)
I’ll praise my maker while I’ve breath
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 534 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my maker while I've breath,
and when my voice is lost in death
praise shall employ my nobler powers:
my days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God, who made the sky,
and earth and sea, with all their train;
his truth for ever stands secure;
he saves the oppressed: he feeds the poor,
and none shall find his promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
and sends the labouring conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise him while he lends me breath;
and when my voice is lost in death
praise shall employ my nobler powers:
my days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: MONMOUTH

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid,
and therefore though the earth remove,
we will not be afraid;
though hills amidst the seas be cast,
though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
the city of our God,
the holy place wherein the Lord
Most High has his abode.
Since God is in the midst of her,
unmoved her walls shall stand,
for God will be her early help,
when trouble is at hand.
3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved,
but when his voice was heard,
the troubled earth was stilled to peace
before his mighty word.
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
4 O come, behold what wondrous works
Jehovah's hand has wrought;
come, see what desolation great
he on the earth has brought.
To utmost ends of all the earth
he causes war to cease;
the weapons of the strong destroyed,
he makes abiding peace.
5 "Be still and know that I am God,
o'er all exalted high;
the subject nations of the earth
my name shall magnify."
The Lord of Hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure,
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.

Who trusts in God, a strong abode
Author: Joachim Magdeburg; Anon.; Benjamin H. Kennedy; W. Walsham How Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God, a strong abode
In heav'n and earth possesses;
Who looks in love to Christ above,
No fear his heart oppresses.
In thee alone, dear Lord, we own
Sweet hope and consolation;
Our shield from foes, our balm for woes,
Our great and sure salvation.
2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path,
And worldly scorn assail us,
While thou art near we will not fear,
Thy strength shall never fail us:
Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe,
And guide our steps for ever;
Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath,
Our souls from thee shall sever.
3 In all the strife of mortal life
Our feet shall stand securely;
Temptation's hour shall lose its power,
For thou shalt guard us surely.
O God, renew, with heav'nly dew,
Our body, soul, and spirit,
Until we stand at thy right hand,
Through Jesus' saving merit.
Amen. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
Who trusts in God, a strong abode
Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb
To search the starry vault profound;
In vain would wing her flight sublime
To find creation's utmost bound.
2 But weaker yet that thought must prove
To search thy great eternal plan,
Thy sovereign counsels, born of love
Long ages ere the world began.
3 When my dim reason would demand
Why that, or this, thou dost ordain,
By some vast deep I seem to stand,
Whose secrets I must ask in vain.
4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast,
And all is dark as night to me,
Here, as on solid rock, I rest,—
That so it seemeth good to thee.
5 Be this my joy, that evermore
Thou rulest all things at thy will;
Thy sovereign wisdom I adore,
And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.
Amen. Scripture: Job 11:7 Used With Tune: CANONBURY

3 Anxious and despairing,
Many walk in night;
But to those that fear Him
God will send His light.
4 In His care confiding,
I will sweetly sleep,
For the Lord, my Saviour,
Will in safety keep. Scripture: Psalm 4 Used With Tune: MERRIAL
Faith and Peace
Day by day, and with each passing moment
Author: Karolina Wilhelmina (Lina Sandell) Sandell-Berg, 1832-1903; Andrew L. Skoog, 1856-1934 Meter: Irregular Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Trust in God Lyrics: 1 Day by day, and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here.
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best,
lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Every day the Lord himself is near me,
with a special mercy for each hour.
All my cares he fain would bear and cheer me,
he whose name is Counselor and Power.
The protection of his child and treasure
is a charge that on himself he laid.
'As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,'
this the pledge to me he made.
3 Help me then, in every tribulation,
so to trust thy promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
offered me within thyr holy word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a Father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
till I reach the promised land. Used With Tune: DAY BY DAY

My Father! cheering name!
Author: Anon. Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Trust In God Lyrics: 1 My Father! cheering name!
Oh, may I call Thee mine?
Give me with humble hope to claim
A portion so divine.
2 This can my fears control,
And bid my sorrows fly:
What real harm can reach my soul
Beneath my Father's eye?
3 Whate'er Thy will denies,
I calmly would resign:
For Thou art just, and good, and wise:
Oh, bend my will to thine!
4 Whate'er Thy will ordains,
Oh, give me strength to bear;
Still let me know a Father reigns,
And trust a Father's care.
5 Thy ways are little known
To my weak, erring sight;
Yet shall my soul, believing, own,
That all Thy ways are right.
Amen. Used With Tune: BRADEN
My Father! cheering name!
