Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth

Author: Jean de Santeul, 1630-1697; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth, who choosest for thine the meek and the poor; to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth, entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure; 2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light, and at thy decree are broken and gone; thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might, as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone. 3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will, and swift as the winds about the world go: the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill; they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow. 4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!' then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall; as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word, and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. 5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound, to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin: the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around, O may they awaken our spirits within. 6 All honour and praise, dominion and might, to God, Three in One, eternally be, who round us hath shed his own marvellous light, and called us from darkness his glory to see.

Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days We celebrate with songs of praise; For Christ, by whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. 2 Alone and fasting Moses saw The loving God who gave the law; And to Elijah, fasting, came The steeds and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, Delivered from the lions' might; And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became The herald of Messiah's name. 4 Then grant that we like them be true, Consumed in fast and pray'r with you; Our spirits strengthen with your grace, And give us joy to see your face. 5 O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, To you be ev'ry pray'r addressed; Who are in threefold Name adored, From age to age, the only Lord.
