The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sin to die, And has no power to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,165 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Epiphany 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 ye 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.

Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 135 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Fierce raged the tempest o’er the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep, But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, Calm and still. 2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry, "O save us in our agony!" Thy word above the storm rose high, "Peace, be still." 3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep Sank, like a little child, to sleep; The sullen billows ceased to leap, At Thy will. 4 So, when our life is clouded o’er, And storm-winds drift us from the shore, Say, lest we sink to rise no more, "Peace, be still."

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 5 God grant that I may of His infinite love Remain in His merciful keeping; And sit with the King at His table above, When here in the grace I am sleeping. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 6 All trials are then like a dream that is past, Forgotten all trouble and sorrow; All questions and doubts have been answered at last; Then dawneth eternity's morrow. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 7 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded; The blest of the Lord shall receive at His hand The crown to the victors awarded.

Verden vil til sig det vriste, Ak, hvor kan jeg Jesus miste! 5 Ved en Broders Grav jeg staar, Maa med Faderløse græde; Hjertets Angest, Savn og Saar Læger ingen jordisk Glæde. Dybe Grav og forte Kiste! Ak, hvor kan jeg Jesus miste! 6 Stunden kommer – Hjertets Slag Stanser brat, og Læben blegner. Hvo paatager sig min Sag, Naar jeg kold i Døden segner? Naar min Time slaar, den sidste, Ak, hvor kan jeg Jesus miste! 7 Aldrig, aldrig jeg min Trøst Slippe kan i Jordens Dale, Du, som har min Sjæl forløst, Og som kan den hebst husvale, I dit Navn mit Hjerte briste! Saa skal jeg dig aldrig miste!

Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 O spread Thy sheltering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease. And at our Father’s loved abode, Our souls arrive in peace! 5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore; And Thou shalt be our chosen God, Our portion evermore.

Seems it in my anguish lone

Author: Christoph Titius; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.
