God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #36 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Who Pardons All Your Iniquities Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, he plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines of never failing skill, he treasures up his bright designs and works his sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace, behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding ev'ry hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain: God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.

O God of Truth, Whose Living Word

Author: Thomas Hughes Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #38 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Who Pardons All Your Iniquities Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living word upholds whate'er hath breath, look down on thy creation, Lord, enslaved by sin and death. 2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we who claim a heav'nly birth, may march with thee to smite the lies That vex thy groaning earth. 3 We fight for truth? we fight for God? Poor slaves of lies and sin! They who would fight for thee on earth must first be pure within. 4 Then, God of truth, for whom we long, thou who wilt hear our prayer, do thine own battle in our hearts, and slay the falsehood there. 5 Yea, come: then tried as in the fire, from ev'ry lie set free, thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, and we shall live in thee.

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #41 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Who Pardons All Your Iniquities Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!

O what a stiff rebellious House

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78b (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry Walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the Foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.

When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78c (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el sins, the Lord reproves, And fills their Hearts with Dread; Yet he forgives the Men he loves, And sends them heav'nly Bread. 2 He fed them with a lib'ral Hand, And made his Treasures known; He gave the Midnight Clouds Command To pour Provision down. 3 The Manna, like a Morning Show'r, Lay thick around their Feet; The Corn of Heav'n, so light, so pure, As though 'twere Angels Meat. 4 But they in murm'ring Language said, "Manna is all our Feast; "We loath this light, this airy Bread; "We must have Flesh to taste." 5 Ye shall have Flesh to please your Lust, The Lord in Wrath reply'd, And sent 'em Quails, like Sand or Dust, Heap'd up from Side to Side. 6 He gave 'em all their own Desire, And greedy as they fed, His Vengeance burnt with secret Fire, And smote the Rebels dead. 7 When some were slain, the rest return'd And sought the Lord with Tears; Under the Rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their Fears. 8 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till, by his gracious Hand, The Nation he resolv'd to save Possess'd the promis'd Land.
