Spirit of God, that moved of old

Come to judgment! Come to judgment, come away! 4 Now Redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear! All his saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet him in the air: Alleluia! Alleluia!

O praise the Lord, for he is good

Hymnal: TH1961 #84 (1961) 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.
