The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
Eternal Power, whose high abode
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God:
In vain the loftiest angel tries
To reach thy height with wondering eyes.
2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
Seraphs that most with ardor glow,
Still at an humble distance bow.
3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame,
And worms have learned to lisp thy name;
But oh, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
4 God is in heaven and man below;
Soft be our strains, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:27 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though weak and sinful in your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
O grant us power to pray;
and when to meet you we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 O God of love, before your face
we come with contrite heart
to ask from you these gifts of grace--
truth in the inward part:
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone;
to found our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, and Christ alone:
5 Patience to watch, and weep and wait,
whatever you may send;
courage that will not hesitate
to trust you to the end.
6 Give these, and then your will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we through your Spirit and your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.

A hymn for a fast day
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33 First Line: When Abraham, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe,
Before Jehovah stood,
And, with an humble fervent prayer,
For guilty Sodom sued;
2 With what success, what wondrous grace,
Was his petitions crown'd!
The Lord would spare, if in the place
Ten righteous men were found.
3 And could a single, holy soul
So rich a boon obtain?
Good God, and shall a nation cry,
And plead with thee in vain?
4 Britain, all guilty as she is,
Her numerous saints can boast,
And now their fervent prayers ascend,
And can those prayers be lost?
5 Are not the righteous dear to thee,
Now as in ancient times?
Or does this sinful land exceed
Gomorrah in its crimes?
6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name,
Here yet is thine abode;
Long has thy presence bless'd our land,
Forsake us not, O God.

Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right
Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1649-1708; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.5.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
his holy will abideth;
I will be still whate'er he doth,
and follow where he guideth.
He is my God: though dark my road,
he holds me that I shall not fall:
wherefore to him I leave it all.
2 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
he never will deceive me;
he leads me by the proper path;
I know he will not leave me.
I take, content, what he hath sent;
his hand can turn my griefs away,
and patiently I wait his day.
3 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
though now this cup, in drinking,
may bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking.
My God is true; each morn anew
sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
and pain and sorrow shall depart.
4 Whate'er my God ordains is right:
here shall my stand be taken;
though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
yet am I not forsaken.
My Father's care is round me there;
he holds me that I shall not fall:
and so to him I leave it all.

Providence
Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 18:25 First Line: God moves in a mysterious way 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 sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take!
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy, and will 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. Topics: Dependence On Providence; God: The Father Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
