God is love: His mercy brightens
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a171 (1895) Lyrics: 1 God is love: His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 time and change are busy ever,
Man decays and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 E'ev the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom Him brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly care entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love. Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Languages: English
God is love: His mercy brightens
Of Omnipresent Grace I sing
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a172 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Of Omnipresent Grace I sing;
For, though I take the morning's wing
And dwell beyond the outer sea,
Yet art Thou present there with me.
2 Thy hand shall lead me by the way,
Thy right hand be my staff and stay;
Though darkness compass me around,
Night shall be light where Thou art found.
3 Where Thou art, darkness cannot stay,
Thou turnest darkness into day;
Both night and light are one to Thee:
In darkness Thou still seest me.
4 Thine eye beheld me yet unborn,
And watched my steps from earliest morn;
My ways are written in Thy book:
By Thee I live, to Thee I look.
5 Thy thoughts are precious to my heart;
Thy presence bids all care depart;
I lay me down, Thou art with me;
I wake-- and still I am with Thee.
6 Lord, try my way and me anew;
Prove Thou my heart and make it true,
And lead me in the better way,
To life, to Thee--for aye and aye.

Of Omnipresent Grace I sing
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a173 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye:
My noon-day walks He shall attend
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade. Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Languages: English
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a174 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design,
Are framed upon Thy throne above,
And every dark or bending line,
Meets in the center of Thy love.
2 With feeble light, and half obscure,
Poor mortals Thine arrangements view;
Not knowing that they least are sure,
And, the mysterious just and true.
3 Thy flock, Thine own peculiar care,
Though now they seem to roam uneyed,
Are led or driven only where
They best and safest may abide.
4 They neither know nor trace the way:
But whilst they trust Thy guardian eye,
Their feet shall ne'er to ruin stray,
Nor shall the weakest fail or die.
5 My favored soul shall meekly learn,
To lay her reason at Thy throne;
Too weak Thy secrets to discern,
I'll trust Thee for my guide alone. Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Languages: English
Thy ways, O Lord! with wise design
God moves in a mysterious way
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a175 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 every 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.

God moves in a mysterious way
Our God is true!--Them He will ne'er forsake
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a176 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Our god is true!-- Them He will ne'er forsake
For whom His love He shows;
Our God is true!--We shall His care partake
In all our joys and woes;
His wings will spread their shelter o'er us:
Though mountains quake, earth yawn before us,
Our God is true!
2 Our God is true!-- He is a faithful Friend,
We from experience know;
And, rest assured, He will our souls defend
From ev'ry watchful foe.
His cov'nant love gives no denial
To humble faith, in hours of trial,--
Our God is true!
3 Our God is true!--Never forget, my soul,
How kind and true He is!
Be true to God!--Let this thy life control
And be devoutly His!
From loving Him let nothing drive thee!
And of this stay let none deprive thee,--
Our God is true! Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Languages: English

Our God, our Help in ages past
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a177 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal Home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
For aye wilt be the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our Guard while life shall last,
and our eternal home!

Our God, our Help in ages past
'Twas by an order from the Lord
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a178 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an order from the Lord,
The ancient prophets spoke His word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heavenly fire.
2 The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirmed the messages they brought:
The prophet's pen succeeds His breath,
To save the holy words from death.
3 Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look
Upon thy precious holy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read His name who died for me.
4 Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is Thy word, and must endure.

'Twas by an order from the Lord
God gave His Word by holy men
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a179 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God gave His Word by holy men,
The words dictating to their pen;
That Word shall shine with glorious ray
When heaven and earth have passed away.
2 It is not changeful human thought
That here to darkened souls is brought,
But everlasting truth and right
That shed on man their heavenly light.
3 It makes the way of faith so plain
That none in darkness need remain;
Who meekly choose it as their guid
Shall not in doubt and gloom abide.
4 It makes the path of duty clear,
That all in this may persevere;
Who humbly heed its righteous way
Shall not from right and virtue stray.
5 For faith and life, for thought and deed,
No other rule and guide we need:
When God the King proclaims His will,
'Tis meet all others should be still.
6 To this alone may we adhere,
In faith and love and godly fear,
And ever walking by His Word,
Give glory to our Sovereign Lord.

Say with what salutations
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a18 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Say with what salutations
Shall I Thine advent greet?
Desire of all the nations,
My Joy and Refuge meet!
O Jesus, Jesus! lead me
On by Thy blessed light,
Teach me whate'er delights Thee
To understand aright.
2 With palms doth Zion meet Thee,
Spreads branches in the way;
To raise my soul to greet Thee
Glad psalms I’ll sing to-day.
My heart shall bloom forever
With joys and praises new,
And from Thy name shall never
Withhold the honor due.
3 What hast Thou e’er neglected
For my good here below?
When heart and soul dejected,
Were sunk in deepest woe,
When from Thy presence hidden,
Where peace and pleasures are,
Thou camest, and hast bidden
Me joy again, my Star!
4 In bitter bondage lying,
Thou com’st and sett’st me free,
’Neath scorn and shame when sighing,
Thou com’st and raisest me.
Thy grace high honor gives me,
Abundance doth bestow,
That wastes not, nor deceives me
As earthly riches do.
5 No other impulse led Thee
To leave Thy throne above,
Upon Thine errand sped Thee,
But world-embracing love!
A love that deeply feeleth
The wants and woes of men,
No tongue its fulness telleth,
It passeth human ken.
6 Sin’s debt, the mighty burden,
Let not Thy heart affright;
The Lord will freely pardon,
His grace will cover quite.
He comes! He comes! salvation
Proclaiming everywhere,
Secures His chosen nation
Their heritage so fair.
7 Thy foes, why should they move Thee?
Their wiles and rage are vain,
Thy Savior, who doth love thee,
Will scatter them again.
O come, Thou Son, and lead us
To everlasting light,
Up to Thy mansions guide us
Of glory and delight.
