The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: RHC #6 (1970) Year Written: 1712 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen.

Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from the throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes in God his Father's Naem To save our fallen race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise!

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: RHC #7 (1970) Year Written: 1774 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works His sovereign will. e Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err. And scan His work in vain: God is His own interpreter, And he will make it plain. Amen. Topics: Worship of God Languages: English Tune Title: [God moves in a mysterious way]
