Disposer supreme, and judge of the earth

Author: J. B. de Santeuil, 1630-97; Isaac Williams, 1802-65 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: The Conversion of St. Paul January 25th Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and judge of the earth, Who choosest for thine the weak and the poor, To frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, Entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Throughout the wide world their message is heard, And swift as the wind it circles the earth; It echoes the voice of the heavenly Word, And brings unto mortals the hope of new birth. 3 Their cry thunders forth, 'Christ Jesus is Lord', Then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall: As when those shrill trumpets were raised at thy word, And one long blast shattered proud Jericho's wall. 4 O loud be the call, and stirring the sound, To rouse us, O Lord, from sin's deadly sleep; May lights which thou kindlest in darkness around, The dull soul awaken, her vigil to keep. 5 All honour and praise, dominion and might, To thee, Three in One, eternally be, Who pouring around us thy glorious light, Dost call us from darkness thy glory to see. Used With Tune: OLD 104TH

The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene - one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Whether to live or die, I know not which is best; To live in Thee is bliss to me, To die is endless rest.

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days Conversion of St. Paul Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler, came breathing threats and hate; the ravening wolf rushed forward full early to the prey; but lo, the Shepherd met him, and bound him fast today. 2 O glory most excelling that smote across his path! O light that pierced and blinded the zealot in his wrath, O voice that spake within him the calm reproving word, O love that sought and held him the bondman of his Lord! 3 O wisdom, ordering all things in order strong and sweet, what nobler spoil was ever cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder e'er wrought at thine employ than he, till now so furious your building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy church the lesson, still in her darkest hour of weakness and of danger to trust thy hidden power: thy grace by ways mysterious the wrath of man can bind, and in thy boldest foeman thy chosen saint can find. Scripture: Acts 9:3-5 Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT
