Great is the Lord our God

The mouth of fools doth God confess

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #165 (1893) Topics: The Word and the Church Protection of Lyrics: 1 THE mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh Him, Their heart is full of wickedness, And all their deeds deny Him. Corrupt are they, and every one Abominable deeds hath done; There is not one well-doer. 2 The Lord looked from His heavenly throne On all mankind below Him, To see if there were any one Who truly sought to know Him; Who all his understanding bent To search His holy Word, intent To do His will in earnest. 3 But none there was who walked with God For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden; Not one there was who practiced good, Yet many deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds to God were pleasing. 4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will they oppress the needy, And eat my people up like bread? So fierce are they and greedy! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trouble call, But be their own providers. 5 Therefore their heart is never still, A constant fear dismays them; God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts Him and obeys Him; Ye shame the counsel of the poor, And mock him when he doth assure That God is e'er his refuge. 6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race From Zion bring salvation? God will Himself at length show grace And loose the captive nation; That will He do by Christ their King; Let Jacob then be glad and sing, And Israel be joyful. Languages: English

I wait Thine hour; O blest Redeemer, come! Languages: English

In pity look on those who stray Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or see, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
