Two plain stanzas of extraordinary powers.
He Guides the Affairs of Man
▻http://randalmatheny.com/he-guides-man
Our #God is great and good, eternally! Receiving praise through battle and victory hymn, The Lord sits reigning on his glorious throne Among four creatures, angels, and cherubim, In splendor and might; above the heaven’s dome, He guides the affairs of man, and blesses him Who wavers not against the enemy.
Let Blessings Fall
▻http://randalmatheny.com/let-blessings-fall
Your favor now to us, O Savior, send! Let blessings fall, let Jesus with us stay! Produce in us, O Lord, the Spirit’s fruit! And let us work to let you have your way. If in the word of God we have no root, And if no prayers ascend throughout the day, How barren will […]

They move with feet of clay, And claim to seek a balance, the perfect middle— Neither overly wicked nor righteous lives. The slow to follow Christ—ah! What a riddle!— Will quickly plead for mercy […]

Êmission totalement dédiée aux trois poètes de la #chanson_française.

His Power Grown Large
▻http://randalmatheny.com/his-power-grown-large
What happens here today the world ignores, At best, or upon our precious faith it pours Its scorn and hate — the bread and wine we share, The blessed Name we call upon in prayer. This people of love whose holy kiss is true, Were immersed and washed, in Christ were born anew, ’Tis not … Continue reading “His Power Grown Large”
