Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Author: David G. Preston Hymnal: Christian Worship #52A (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Boasting First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast
of cruelty and of crime,
yet disregard God's steadfast love
which lasts throughout all time?
How razor-sharp your deadly tongue,
what treach'ry you devise!
You cling to evil, hate the good,
and love pernicious lies.
2 But God will tear you clean away
from all the wealth you own,
from home and fam'ly, life itself,
to reap what you have sown.
The righteous will look on in awe,
and with relief will say:
"We knew his trust was not in God;
in wealth and greed it lay."
3 But I am like an olive tree
that thrives in God's domain,
dependent on his steadfast love
whose pow'r can never wane.
I will forever give you praise
for what your hand has done,
hope in your name, and with your saints
make all your goodness known.
Scripture: Psalm 52 Languages: English Tune Title: SALVATION
Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Father, Long Before Creation
Author: Francis P. Jones Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #687 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Topics: Boasting Lyrics: 1 Father, long before creation
you had chosen us in love,
and that love so deep, so moving,
draws us close to Christ above.
Still it keeps us
firmly fixed in Christ alone.
2 Though the world may change its fashion,
you will still remain the same;
your compassion and your covenant
through all ages will remain.
Your own children
shall forever praise your name.
3 Your compassion is our story,
is our boasting all the day;
mercy free and never failing
moves our will, directs our way.
God so loved us
that he gave his only Son.
4 Loving Father, now before you
we shall ever sing your grace,
and our song will sound forever
when we see you face to face,
giving glory
to the Lamb upon the throne. Scripture: John 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: CORONAE

But few among the carnal Wise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCVI (1766) Topics: Boasting excluded Lyrics: 1 But few among the carnal Wise,
But few of noble Race,
Obtain the Favour of thine Eyes,
Almighty King of Grace.
2 He takes the Men of meanest Name,
For Sons and Heirs of God;
And thus he pours abundant Shame
On honorable Blood.
3 He calls the Fool, and makes him know
The Myst'ries of his Grace,
To bring aspiring Wisdom low,
And all its Pride abase.
4 Nature has all its Glories lost,
When brought before his Throne;
No Flesh shall in his Presence boast,
But in the Lord alone.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English
But few among the carnal Wise
We Give You Thanks, O God
Hymnal: Christian Worship #75A (2021) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Boasting Lyrics: 1 We give you thanks, O God,
because your name is near.
All speak of your majestic deeds;
your voice we also hear:
2 "I choose th'appointed time;
I judge with justice sure.
When earth and all its people quake,
its pillars I secure.
3 "'Boast not!' I tell the proud;
the wicked I address:
'Do not lift up your heads with pride,
or speak with haughtiness.'"
4 No one in all the earth
can truly give renown,
God is the judge; he raises one
and puts another down.
5 The LORD's hand holds a cup
with wine of pow'rful blend;
he pours it out, and wicked ones
must drink it to the end.
6 God's works I will proclaim,
and Jacob's God I'll praise.
The wicked's strength I will destroy;
the righteous I will raise. Scripture: Psalm 75 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
We Give You Thanks, O God
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #175 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Boasting Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
Scripture: Matthew 27:29 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG
