Holy and rev'rend is the name
Thy way, O God, is in the sea
Author: John Fawcett Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea;
Thy paths I cannot trace,
Nor comprehend the mystery
Of Thine unbounded grace.
2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense
My captive soul surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
My wondering thoughts confound.
3 As through a glass, I dimly see
The wonders of Thy love,
How little do I know of Thee,
Or of the joys above!
4 'Tis but in part I know Thy will:
I bless Thee for the sight;
When will Thy Love the rest reveal
In glory's clearer light?
5 With raptures shall I then survey
Thy providence and grace;
And spend an everlasting day
In wonder, love and praise.
Amen. Topics: God Infinite; Mystery; Providence; Reason Insufficient; Trust In Providence Used With Tune: BOYNTON

Had Not the Lord Been Israel's Help
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Had not the Lord been Israel’s help
When angry foes assailed,
Had not the Lord been on our side,
Our righteous cause had failed.
2. Without His help the waters proud
Had overwhelmed our soul,
But, praised be God, the waves of wrath
Are under His control.
3. We are escaped, as from the snare,
A bird in safety flies;
The snare is broken and our souls
In liberty arise.
4. Our help is in the glorious name,
The name of matchless worth,
Of Him to whom all power belongs,
The Lord of Heaven and earth. Used With Tune: BOYNTON Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 352
