The Wisdom of God
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Wisdom of God First Line: Wait, O my soul, thy maker's will Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy maker's will,
Tumultuous passions, all be still!
Nor let a murmuring thought arise,
His ways are just, his counsels wise,
2 He in the thickest darkness dwells,
Performs his work, the cause conceals;
But tho' his methods are unknown,
Judgment and truth support his throne.
3 In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas,
He executes his firm decrees;
And by his saints it stands confest,
That what he does is ever best.
4 Wait then, my soul, submissive wait,
Prostrate before his awful seat;
And 'midst the terrors of his rod,
Trust in a wise and gracious God. Languages: English

led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.

shine on our path your holy light.

incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK

of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.

salvation is of Christ the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK, DIERDRE

Where'er the righteous dwell;
For them God's hand is strong to save
And doeth all things well.

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXXXIX.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Wisdom of God in the Formation of Man Lyrics: 11 When I with pleasing wonder stand,
And all my frame survey,
Lord 'tis thy work I own thy hand
Thus built my humble clay.
12 Thy hand my heart and reins possest,
Where unborn nature grew
Thy wisdom all my features trac'd,
And all my members drew.
13 Thine eye with nicest care survey'd
The growth of ev'ry part;
Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid
Was copy'd by thy art.
14 Heav'n, earth & sea, and fire and wind,
Show me thy wond'rous skill;
But I review myself, and find
Diviner wonders still.
15 Thy awful glories round me shine,
My flesh proclaims thy praise;
Lord, to thy works of nature join
Thy miracles of grace. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

All my hope on God is founded

all my trust he shall renew;
he, my guide through changing order,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
he alone,
calls my heart to be his own.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil we fashion,
tower and temple, fall to dust;
but God's power
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 Day by day our mighty giver
grants to us his gifts of love;
in his will our souls find pleasure,
leading to our home above:
Love shall stand
at his hand,
joy shall wait for his command.
4 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done;
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son:
Hear Christ's call
one and all —
we who follow shall not fall.

And to my list'ning ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world!
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-
His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world-
The birds their carols raise;
The morning light, sun shining bright,
Declare its Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world!
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass-
He speaks to me ev'rywhere.
3 This is my Father's world-
O let me ne'er forget
That tho' the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world!
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav'n be one. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA

The Seasons Are Fixed by Wisdom Divine
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #219 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,
The slow changing moon show forth God’s design;
The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor delays.
2 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
The lions creep forth, God’s bounty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.
3 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!
The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro,
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.
4 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;
Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.
5 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
Let God in His creatures forever delight.
6 Before the Lord’s might earth trembles and quakes,
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks;
The Lord I will worship through all of my days,
Yea, while I have being my God I will praise.
7 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
While sinners depart in ruin complete;
My soul, bless Jehovah, His Name be adored,
Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: ASPINWALL

To seal his covenant sure;

Must with his fear begin;
Our fairest proof of knowledge lies
In hating every sin. Scripture: Psalm 110 Languages: English
