Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #17 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, This work belongs to you; Sing of his name, his ways, his word, How holy, just, and true. 2 His mercy and his righteousness Let heaven and earth proclaim; His works of nature, and of grace, Reveal his wondrous name. 3 His word, with energy divine, Those heavenly arches spread, Bade starry hosts around them shine, And light the heavens pervade. 4 He taught the swelling waves to flow To their appointed deep-- Bade raging seas their limits know, And still their station keep. 5 Ye tenants of the spacious earth, With fear before him stand; He speak, and nature took its birth And rests on his command. 6 He scorns the angry nations' rage, And breaks their vain designs; His counsel stands through every age, And in full glory shines.

Nature, with solemn accent cries

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #22 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Nature, with solemn accent cries, There is a God, that built the skies, That formed the earth and spread the flood, A self-existent, mighty God. 2 Creation's wonders, vast and bright, Proclaim their Maker infinite; Her bounties show to every eye The goodness of the Deity. 3 But when we view each precious line, Within the gospel all divine; Justice and mercy there we trace, Eternal truth, transcendent grace. 4 Thanks for the light of nature given, Thanks for the surer guide to heaven; For all the treasures of thy word, We praise the great creation's Lord.
