Sovereignty

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: Lord, my weak thought in vain would climb 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 outmost 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.

Resting in God

Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand: Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace thy inmost soul shall fill-- Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken-- Always hath he comfort spoken-- Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then--when or how-- Only bow.

O praise the Lord, for he is good

Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good, His mercies still endure; Thus say the ransomed of the Lord, From all their foes secure, From all their foes secure. 2 He gathered them from out the lands, From north, south, east and west. They strayed in desert's pathless way, No city found for rest, No city found for rest. 3 Their weary soul within them faints When thirst and hunger press; In trouble then they cried to God, He saved them from distress, He saved them from distress. 4 He made the way before them straight, Himself became their guide, That they might to a city go Wherein they might abide, Wherein they might abide. 5 O that men would Jehovah praise For all his kindness shown, And for his works so wonderful Which he to men makes known! Which he to men makes known! 6 Because the longing soul by him With food is satisfied; The hungry soul that looks to him With goodness is supplied, With goodness is supplied. Amen.
