High in the Heavens Martijn de Groot 2020-10-13 | Congregational singingMetropolitan Tabernacle, LondonText: Isaac WattsHigh in the heavens, eternal God,Thy goodness in full glory shines;Thy Truth shall break through every cloudThat veils and darkens Thy designs.For ever firm Thy justice stands,As mountains their foundations keep;Wise are the wonders of Thy hands,Thy judgements are a mighty deep.Thy providence is kind and large,Both man and beast Thy bounty share;The whole creation is Thy charge,But saints are still Thy special care.My God, how excellent Thy grace,From which our hopes and comforts spring!The sons of Adam in distressFly to the shadow of Thy wing.From the provisions of Thy houseWe shall on Truth eternal dine;Here mercy like a river flows,Bearing us pleasures all divine.Life, like a fountain rich and free,Springs from the presence of the Lord;And in Thy light our souls shall seeThe glories promised in Thy Word.(Psalm 36)

What Various Hindrances We Meet Martijn de Groot 2020-08-08 | Congregational singingTabernacle Cardiff, WalesText: William CowperWhat various hindrances we meetIn coming to a mercy seatYet who that knows the worth of prayerBut wishes to be often therePrayer makes the darkened cloud withdrawPrayer climbs the ladder Jacob sawGives exercise to faith and loveBrings every blessing from aboveRestraining prayer, we cease to fightPrayer makes the Christian’s armour brightAnd Satan trembles, when he seesThe weakest saint upon his kneesWhile Moses stood with arms spread wideSuccess was found on Israel’s sideBut when through weariness they failedThat moment Amalek prevailedHave you no words? Ah, think againWords flow apace when you complainAnd fill your fellow creature’s earWith the sad tale of all your careWere half the breath thus vainly spentTo Heaven in supplication sentYour cheerful song would oftener be‘Hear what the Lord has done for me!’TabernacleCardiff.orgSummer Conference 2013
