Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Decrees of 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

2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust,
And give Thee thanks for ever,
O Father, for Thy rule is just
And wise, and changes never;
Thy hand almighty o'er us reigns,
Thou doest what Thy will ordains;

3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of the Heavenly Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored,
The straying sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high
Out of the depths we sinners cry:
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
From Satan's snares our souls uplift,
And let Thy power, availing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread.

We trust in Thee to save us. Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT Text Sources: Translation from German version of Latin hmn, Gloria in Excelsis

Election Eternal
Author: Toplady Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Election and God's Decrees First Line: How happy are we, our election who see Lyrics: 1 How happy are we our election who see,
And venture, O Lord, for salvation on thee!
In Jesus approvèd, eternally loved,
Upheld by his power, we cannot be moved.
2 [’Tis sweet to recline on the bosom divine,
And experience the comforts peculiar to thine;
While, born from above, and upheld by thy love,
With singing and triumph to Zion we move!]
3 Our seeking thy face was all of thy grace;
Thy mercy demands and shall have all the praise.
No sinner can be beforehand with thee;
Thy grace is eternal, almighty, and free!
4 Our Saviour and Friend, his love shall extend;
It knew no beginning, and never shall end!
Whom once he receives, his Spirit ne’er leaves,
Nor ever repents of the grace that he gives.
5 [This proof we would give that thee we receive,
Thou art precious alone to the souls that believe;
Be precious to us; all beside is as dross,
Compared with thy love and the blood of thy cross.]
6 [Through mercy we taste the invisible feast,
The bread of the kingdom, the wine of the blest!
Who grants us to know his drawings below
Will endless salvation and glory bestow.]

Atonement made
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Decrees Spiritual First Line: Now to the power of God supreme Lyrics: 1 Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell,--we bless his name,--
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.
2 'Twas his own purpose that began
To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.
3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
4 He dies; and in that dreadful night
Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light,
And takes possession of the joy. Scripture: Matthew 28:6 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Providence
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: Decrees; Decrees First Line: Keep silence, all created things! Lyrics: 1 Keep silence, all created things!
And wait your Maker's nod;
My soul stands trembling, while she sings
The honors of her God.
2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown,
Hang on his firm decree;
He sits on no precarious throne,
Nor borrows leave to be.
3 His providence unfolds the book,
And makes his counsels shine;
Each opening leaf, and every stroke,
Fulfills some deep design.
4 My God! I would not long to see
My fate with curious eyes
What gloomy lines are writ for me,
Or what bright scenes may rise.
5 In thy fair book of life and grace,
Oh, may I find my name
Recorded in some humble place,
Beneath my Lord, the Lamb. Used With Tune: ST. ANN'S

There was an Hour when Christ rejoic'd
Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 There was an Hour when Christ rejoic'd,
And spoke his Joy in Words of Praise;
"Father, I thank Thee, mighty God,
"Lord of the Earth, and Heav'ns and Seas.
2 "I thank thy Sov'reign Pow'r and Love,
"That crowns my Doctrine with Success;
"And makes the Babes in Knowledge learn
"The heights, & breadths, & lengths of Grace.
3 "But all this Glory lies conceal'd
"From Men of Prudence and of Wit;
"The Prince of Darkness blinds their Eyes,
"And their own Pride resists the Light.
4 "Father, 'tis thus, because thy Will
"Chose and ordain'd it should be so;
"'Tis thy Delight t' abase the Proud,
"And lay the haughty Scorner low.
5 "There's none can know the Father right,
"But those who learn it from the Son,
"Nor can the Son be well receiv'd,
"But where the Father makes him known."
6 Then let our Souls adore our God,
Who deals his Graces as he please;
Nor gives to Mortals an Account
Or of his Actions, or Decrees. Scripture: Luke 10:21-22

Eternity

Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.

Stands present in thy view;
To thee there's nothing old appears
Great God! there's nothing new.
4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vexed with trifling cares;
While thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to thee. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
