Divine Sovereignty; or God's Domion and Decrees
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #IX (1792) Topics: Decrees of God First Line: Keep silence all created things Lyrics: 1 Keep silence all created things,
And wait your maker's nod;
My soul stands trembling, while she sings
The honors of her God.
2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown
Hang on his firm decree:
He sits on no precarious throne,
Nor borrows leave to be.
3 Chain'd to his throne, a volume lies,
With all the fates of men,
With every angel's form and size,
Drawn by th' eternal pen.
4 His providence unfolds the book,
And makes his counsels shine;
Each opening leaf, and every stroke,
Fulfils some deep design.
5 Here, he exalts neglected worms
To sceptres and a crown;
And there, the following page he turns,
And treads the monarch down.
6 Not Gabriel asks the reason why,
Nor God, the reason gives;
Nor dares the favorite angel pry
Between the folded leaves.
7 My God, I would not long to see
My fate with curious eyes,
What gloomy lines are writ for me,
Or what bright scenes may raise.
8 In thy fair book of life and grace,
O may I find my name,
Recorded in some humble place,
Beneath my Lord the lamb! Languages: English

And His peculiar treasure makes.
2 I know the Lord is high in state,
Above all gods our Lord is great;

In heaven and earth, in depths and seas.

In clouds from earth’s remotest end;
The lightnings flash at His command,
He holds the tempest in His hand.

All ye His servants, praise His Name,
Who in the Lord’s house ever stand

O Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #3 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #4 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain 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 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN

There was an Hour when Christ rejoic'd
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XI (1766) Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 There was an Hour when Christ rejoic'd,
And spoke his Joy in Words of Praise;
"Father, I thank Thee, mighty God,
"Lord of the Earth, and Heav'ns and Seas.
2 "I thank thy Sov'reign Pow'r and Love,
"That crowns my Doctrine with Success;
"And makes the Babes in Knowledge learn
"The heights, & breadths, & lengths of Grace.
3 "But all this Glory lies conceal'd
"From Men of Prudence and of Wit;
"The Prince of Darkness blinds their Eyes,
"And their own Pride resists the Light.
4 "Father, 'tis thus, because thy Will
"Chose and ordain'd it should be so;
"'Tis thy Delight t' abase the Proud,
"And lay the haughty Scorner low.
5 "There's none can know the Father right,
"But those who learn it from the Son,
"Nor can the Son be well receiv'd,
"But where the Father makes him known."
6 Then let our Souls adore our God,
Who deals his Graces as he please;
Nor gives to Mortals an Account
Or of his Actions, or Decrees. Scripture: Luke 10:21-22 Languages: English

Your praises with gratitude bring.
3 I know that the Lord is almighty,

Performing His will and good pleasure
In heaven and in earth and the sea.
4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses,
The lightning flames forth at His will,
The wind and the rain He releases
His sovereign designs to fulfill.
5 To ransom His people from bondage
Great wonders and signs He displayed;
He smote all the first-born of Egypt,
Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed.
6 Great nations and kings that opposed Him
Were smitten by God's mighty hand;
Their riches He gave to His people,
And made them inherit the land.
7 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah,
Through all generations renowned;
The Lord is the Judge of His people,
His mercies forever abound.

Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see;
Like them shall their makers be helpless,
Unblest shall their worshipers be.

His praises with gladness proclaim;
His servants, and all ye that fear Him,
Sing praise to His glorious Name.

Out of the depths we sinners cry:
Have mercy on us, Jesus!

God Moves In a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #445 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Decrees of God 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 shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
5 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 Tune Title: DUNDEE
God Moves In a Mysterious Way
Jesus the Man of constant Grief
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XII (1766) Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Man of constant Grief,
A Mourner all his Days;
His Spirit once rejoic'd aloud,
And turn'd his Joy to Praise.
2 Father, I thank thy wond'rous Love,
That hath reveal'd thy Son
To Men unlearned; and to Babes
Has made thy Gospel known.
3 The Myst'ries of redeeming Grace
Are hidden from the Wise,
While Pride and Carnal Reas'nings join
To swell and blind their Eyes.
4 Thus doth the Lord of Heav'n and Earth
His great Decrees fulfil,
And orders all his Works of Grace
By his own Sov'reign Will.
Scripture: Luke 10:21 Languages: English
Jesus the Man of constant Grief
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. Scripture: Romans 9:21-24 Languages: English
Behold the Potter and the Clay
Ye Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #62 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
'Tis comely that with joyful voice
God's saints His Name should praise.
With harp and hymn of gladness sing,
Your gift of sweetest music bring,
To Him a new song raise.
2 For upright is Jehovah's word,
And all the doings of the Lord
In justice have their birth.
In judgment and in deeds of right
The Lord forever takes delight,
With goodness fills the earth.
3 Jehovah speaks, the heavens appear;
He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere
In splendor stands arrayed.
He rolls the waters heap on heap,
He stores away the mighty deep
In garners for it made.
4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear,
Let all that dwell both far and near
In awe before Him stand;
For lo, He spake and it was done,
And all, with sovereign power begun,
Stood fast at His command.
5 He makes the nations’ counsels vain,
The plans the peoples would maintain
Are thwarted by His hand.
Jehovah’s counsel stands secure,
His purposes of heart endure,
Forevermore they stand.
6 O truly is the nation blest
Whose God, before the world confessed,
Jehovah is alone;
And blest the people is whom He
Has made His heritage to be,
And chosen for His own. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCES

Holy his 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.

Lord, My Weak Though in Vain Would Climb
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #225 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY

Not Unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #240 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Decrees of God Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heaven,
But unto Thee be glory given;
In love and truth Thou dost fulfill
The counsels of Thy sovereign will;
Though nations fail Thy power to own,
Yet Thou dost reign, and Thou alone.
2 The idol gods of heathen lands
Are but the work of human hands:
They cannot see, they cannot speak,
Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;
Like them shall be all those who hold
To gods of silver and of gold.
3 Let Israel trust in God alone,
The Lord Whose grace and power are known;
To Him your full allegiance yield,
And He will be your help and shield;
All those who fear Him God will bless,
His saints have proved His faithfulness.
4 All ye that fear Him and adore,
The Lord increase you more and more;
Both great and small who Him confess,
You and your children He will bless;
Yea, blest are ye of Him who made
The heavens, and earth's foundations laid.
5 The heavens are God's since time began,
But He has given the earth to man;
The dead praise not the living God,
But we will sound His praise abroad,
Yea, we will ever bless His Name;
Praise ye the Lord, His praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English Tune Title: GAIRNEY BRIDGE
Not Unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
