Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim
Meter: Irregular Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim
The royal honours of his name,
"Jehovah reigns," be all your song.
'Tis he, thy God, O Zion! reigns,
Prepare thy most harmonious strains,
Glad hallelujahs to prolong.
2 Ye princes, boast no more your crown,
But lay the glitt'ring trifle down
In lowly honour at his feet.
A span your narrow empire bounds:
He reigns beyond created rounds,
In self-sufficient glory great.
3 Tremble, ye pageants of a day,
Form'd, like your slaves, of brittle clay;
Down to the dust your scepters bend.
To everlasting years he reigns,
And undiminish'd rule maintains,
When kings, and suns, and time shall end.
4 So shall his favour'd Zion live;
In vain confed'rate nations strive
Her sacred turrets to destroy.
Her sov'reign sits enthron'd above;
And endless pow'r and endless love
Insure her safety and her joy.
Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim
The Lord, how fearful is his name!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how fearful is his name!
How wide is his command!
Nature, with all her moving frame,
Rests on his mighty hand.
2 Immortal glory forms his throne,
And light his awful robe;
Whilst, with a smile or with a frown,
He manages the globe.
3 Adoring angels round him fall,
In all their shining forms,
His Sov'reign eye looks thro' them all,
And pities mortal worms.
4 His bowels to our worthless race
In sweet compassion move;
He clothes his looks with softest grace,
And takes his title, love.
5 Now, let the Lord for ever reign,
And sway us as he will,
Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain
We are his fav'rites still.
6 No more shall peevish passion rise;
The tongue no more complain;
'Tis Sov'reign Love that lends our joys,
And love resumes again.
The Lord, how fearful is his name!
The Lord of glory, reigns supremely great
Meter: Irregular Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord of glory, reigns supremely great,
And o'er heav'ns arches builds his royal seat.
Thro' worlds unknown his sov'reign sway extends,
Nor space, nor time, his boundless empire ends.
His eye beholds th' affairs of ev'ry nation,
And reads each though thro' his immense creation.
2 Lightning and storms his mighty word obey,
And planets roll, where he has mark'd their way.
Unnumber'd cherubs veil'd before him stand,
And at his signal all their wings expand.
His praise gives harmony to all their voices,
And ev'ry heart thro' the full choir rejoices.
3 Rebellious mortals, cease your tumults vain,
Nor longer such unequal war maintain.
Let clay with fellow-clay in combat strive:
But dread to brave the pow'r, by which you live.
With contrite hearts fall prostrate, and adore him;
For, if he frown, ye perish all before him.
The Lord of glory, reigns supremely great
Let the whole race of creatures lie
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #71 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 Let the whole race of creatures lie
Abase'd before the Lord!
Whate'er His pow'rful hand has form'd
He governs with a word.
2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies
Were into motion brought,
All the long years and worlds to come
Stood present to his thought.
3 There's not a sparrow or a worm
O'erlook'd in his decrees;
He raises monarchs to a throne,
Or sinks with equal ease.
4 If light attend the course I go,
'Tis he provides the rays;
And 'tis His hand that hides the sun,
If darkness cloud my days.
5 Trusting his wisdom and his love,
I would not wish to know
What in the book of His decrees
Awaits me here below.
6 Be this alone my fervent pray'r:
Whate'er my lot shall be,
Or joys, or sorrows, may they form
My soul for heav'n and thee! Languages: English
Let the whole race of creatures lie
God moves in a mysterious way
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #78 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Providence and Government 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 sov'reign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall 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 ev'ry hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain. Languages: English
God moves in a mysterious way
God is the refuge of his saints
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #81 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1. God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold Him present with His aid.
2. Let mountains from their seats be hurl'd
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world:
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3. Loud may the troubled ocean roar:
In sacred peace our souls abide;
While ev'ry nation, ev'ry shore,
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide.
4. There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God,
Life, love, and joy, still guiding through,
And wat’ring our divine abode.
5. 'Midst storms and tempests, Lord! thy word
Does ev'ry rising fear control.
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And well sustain the fainting soul. Languages: English
God is the refuge of his saints
