Almighty God! thy special grace

Author: Penina Moïse Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Almighty God! thy special grace In seasons of distress, Hath ever by the Hebrew race Been gratefully confest. 2. When lots were cast with evil aim Thy people to destroy, From thee the great decision came That turned their tears to joy. 3. Earth's mightiest at thy decree E'en to the frailest yield, And Susa's shore, and Egypt's sea, Proclaim thee Israel's shield. 4. The mourner at the palace gate, The maiden on the throne Were but the instruments of fate To make God’s mercy known. 5. To thee alone the praise belongs, Who with a Father’s hand, From Judah’s race averts the wrongs By adversaries planned. 6. Let proud, ungodly men elate With triumphs of an hour; Remember Heaven can frustrate Each dark device of pow’r. 7. Sov’reign of worlds! thou wilt extend Thy sceptre to the just, The rights of innocents defend, And bring their foes to dust. Text Sources: Hymns Written for the Service of the Hebrew Congregation Beth Elohim, South Carolina, 1842
