Hast set thine unseen feet;

Thou glorious Will! ride on;
Faith's pilgrim sons, behind thee, take
The road that thou hast won.

power to make our lives anew,
pledge of life and hope of glory,
Savior, we would worship you.
Crowning gift of resurrection
sent from your ascended throne,
fullness of the very Godhead,
come to make your life our own.
2 He who in creation's dawning
brooded on the lifeless deep,
still across our nature's darkness
moves to wake our souls from sleep,
moves to stir, to draw, to quicken,
thrusts us through with sense of sin;
brings to birth and seals and fills us
saving Advocate within.
3 He, himself the living Author,
wakes to life the sacred Word,
reads with us its holy pages
and reveals our risen Lord.
He it is who works within us,
teaching rebel hearts to pray,
he whose holy intercessions
rise for us both night and day.
4 He, the mighty God, indwells us;
his to strengthen, help, empower;
his to overcome the tempter
ours to call in danger's hour.
In his strength we dare to battle
all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.
5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit
in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then, forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #750 (1990) Meter: Irregular Topics: Will of God; Will of God Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out,

when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where'er the church has gone,
by the mouth of many messengers
the call of God has come:
Listen to me, you continents;
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world:
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is done in vain
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvesttide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE

and works his sovereign will.

the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.

unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain.

O let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.

Our daily cross to bear;
Like Thee to do our Father's will,
Our brother's griefs to share.

Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as Thine.

And grief's dark day come on,

"Father, Thy will be done!"

Forgiving and forgiven,
O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow Thee to heaven! Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH

The Tender Love a Father Has
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #217 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Will of God Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
For all his children dear,
Such love the Lord bestows on them
Who worship Him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
And all our frailty knows;
Man’s days are like the tender grass,
And as the flower he grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
That smites with blighting breath;
So man is quickly swept away
Before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
From age to age the same,
Displayed to all who do His will
And reverence His name.
5 Those who His gracious covenant keep
The Lord will ever bless;
Their children’s children shall rejoice
To see His righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: AVONDALE

and listen to my plea;
faithful, righteous One,
give ear and answer me.
Judge me not, I pray;
no merit dare I claim;
knowing my own faults,
I trust in your just Name.
2 Hounded by a foe
who crushed me to the ground,
I am like the dead
or those in prison bound.
Hopeless, numbed by fear,
I ponder all your care;
thirsty as parched earth,
I lift my hands in prayer.
3 Answer soon, O God;
my spirit faints in me;
do not hide your face,
or I will cease to be.
When the morning dawns,
make known your love anew;
show me how to walk,
for I will trust in you.
4 Keep me safe, O God,
and help me learn your will;
let your Spirit lead
through level pathways still.
For your great Name’s sake,
my griefs and fears dispel;
free me from my foes,
that I may serve you well. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN CHANT
