Havergal Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Refrain First Line: Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest Lyrics: 1 Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace, over all victorious in its bright increase; perfect, yet it floweth fuller ev'ry day, perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way. Refrain: Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest, finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest. 2 Hidden in the hollow of his blessed hand, never foe can follow, never traitor stand; not a surge of worry, not a shade of care, not a blast of hurry, touch the spirit there.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at thy side, Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. Amen. Scripture: Philippians 4:11 Used With Tune: MORWELLHAM

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers plotting say: Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea, I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown, Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear; Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear, Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take, But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

Lord, My Weak Though in Vain Would Climb

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God 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 utmost bound. 2 But weaker yet that thought must prove to search thy great eternal plan, thy sov'reign 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 sov'reign wisdom I adore, and calmly, sweetly, trust thee still. Scripture: Proverbs 3:19-20 Used With Tune: CANONBURY

O Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage, And kings and rulers strive in vain, Against the Lord of earth and heaven To overthrow Messiah's reign? 2 Their strength is weakness in the sight Of Him who sits enthroned above; He speaks, and judgments fall on them Who tempt His wrath and scorn His love. 3 By God's decree His Son receives The nations for His heritage; The conquering Christ supreme shall reign As King of kings, from age to age. 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, And serve the Lord with godly fear; With reverent joy confess the Son While yet in mercy He is near. 5 Delay not, lest His anger rise, And ye should perish in your way; Lo, all that put their trust in Him Are blest indeed, and blest for aye. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE

Whate'er My God Ordains is right

Author: Samuel Rodigast; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Decrees of God 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. Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT
