Great Work of God's Will

"Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD... And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did... and the people feared the LORD" (Exodus 14:13,31).  "A woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised... let her own works praise her in the gates" (Proverbs 31:30,31).  "For by grace are ye saved through faith... For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10). 

Stand still and see the work of God

In those whom He has saved by grace. 

Behold His mercy and applaud

His faithfulness we clearly trace!

The fear of God perfects the beauty

In us who have been born anew,

As worship beautifies our duty

In everything we say and do. 

Consider well His great salvation

In those whom He has saved forever,

In whom there is no condemnation

By grace (and not by our endeavor). 

O Lord, as we are standing still

To view Your work so marvelous,

We are astonished at Your will

And at Your workmanship in us!
