3 The Lord is King! who then shall dare Resist his will, distrust his care, Or murmur at his wise decrees, Or doubt his royal promises?
4 Oh, when his wisdom can mistake, His might decay, his love forsake, Then may his children cease to sing-- The Lord omnipotent is King.
Josiah Conder.
87 Faben. 8s & 7s. D.
_G.o.d is Love._
G.o.d is love; his mercy brightens All the path in which we rove; Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens: G.o.d is wisdom, G.o.d is love.
Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays and ages move; But his mercy waneth never; G.o.d is wisdom, G.o.d is love.
2 E'en the hour the darkest seemeth Will his changeless goodness prove; From the gloom his brightness streameth: G.o.d is wisdom, G.o.d is love.
He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Everywhere his glory s.h.i.+neth: G.o.d is wisdom, G.o.d is love.
Sir John Bowring, 1825.

_The Divine Glory._ (56)
Lord! thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord.
2 Heaven is still with glory ringing, Earth takes up the angels' cry-- "Holy, holy, holy!" singing, "Lord of hosts! the Lord most high!"
3 Ever thus in G.o.d's high praises, Brethren! let our tongues unite; Chief the heart when duty raises G.o.d-ward at his mystic rite.
Richard Mant, 1828.

_Creating Wisdom._ (184)
Eternal Wisdom! thee we praise, Thee the creation sings; With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace rings.
2 Thy hand, how wide it spread the sky!
How glorious to behold!
Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, And starred with sparkling gold.
3 Infinite strength and equal skill s.h.i.+ne through the worlds abroad; Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the builder--G.o.d.
4 But the sweet beauties of thy grace Our softer pa.s.sions move; Pity divine, in Jesus' face, We see, adore, and love.
Isaac Watts, 1705.

_The Trinity._ (388)
Hail! holy, holy, holy, Lord, Whom One in Three we know; By all thy heavenly host adored, By all thy Church below.
2 One undivided Trinity With triumph we proclaim; The universe is full of thee, And speaks thy glorious name.
3 Thee, holy Father, we confess; Thee, holy Son, adore; And thee, the Holy Ghost, we bless, And wors.h.i.+p evermore.
4 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord, Our heavenly song shall be Supreme, Essential One, adored In co-eternal Thee!
C. Wesley, 1767.

_G.o.d is Love._ (183)
Come, ye that know and fear the Lord, And lift your souls above; Let every heart and voice accord, To sing that--G.o.d is love.
2 This precious truth his word declares, And all his mercies prove; Jesus, the Gift of gifts, appears, To show that--G.o.d is love.
3 Behold his patience lengthened out To those who from him rove, And calls effectual reach their hearts, To teach them--G.o.d is love.
4 The work begun is carried on By power from heaven above; And every step from first to last, Declares that--G.o.d is love.
George Burder, 1784.

_G.o.d's Constant Goodness._ (179)
Jehovah G.o.d! thy gracious power On every hand we see; Oh, may the blessings of each hour Lead all our thoughts to thee.
2 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, And reaches to the skies; Thine eye of mercy never sleeps, Thy goodness never dies.
3 In all the varying scenes of time, On thee our hopes depend; In every age, in every clime, Our Father and our Friend.
John Thompson, 1810

_Praise for G.o.d's Love._
Come, let us all unite to sing, G.o.d is love; Let heav'n and earth their praises bring, G.o.d is love; Let every soul from sin awake, Each in his heart sweet music make, And sing with us for Jesus' sake, For G.o.d is love.
