Behold the Potter and the Clay

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXVII (1766) Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Behold the Potter and the Clay, He forms his Vessels as he please: Such is our God, and such are we; The subjects of his high Decrees. 2 Doth not the Workman's Pow'r extend O'er all the Mass, which Part to choose, And mould it for nobler End, And which to leave for viler Use?] 3 May not the Sov'reign Lord on high Dispense his Favours as he will; Choose some to Life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? [4 What if to make his Terror known, He lets his Patience long endure, Suff'ring vile Rebels to go on, And seal their own Destruction sure? 5 What if he means to show his Grace, And his electing Love employs To mark out some of mortal Race, And form them fit for heav'nly Joys?] 6 Shall Man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's Ways unjust, The Thunder of whose dreadful Word Can crush a thousand Worlds to Dust? 7 But, O my Soul, if Truth so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written Will obey, And wait the great decisive Day. 8 Then shall he make his Justice known, And the whole World before his Throne, With Joy, or Terror, shall confess The Glory of his Righteousness.
