Adoration and Submission

Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Praise For Works of Creation First Line: Now with joyful exultation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation Let us sing Jehovah's praise; To the Rock of our salvation Loud hosannas let us raise; Thankful tribute gladly bringing, Let us come before Him now, And, with psalms His praises singing, Joyful in His presence bow. 2 For, how great a God, and glorious, Is Jehovah Whom we sing; Over idol-gods victorious, Great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

From the pow'r of evil hide us, in the narrow pathway guide us, nor thy smile be e'er denied us the live-long day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping; and when we die, may we, in thy mighty keeping, all peaceful lie: when the last dread trump shall wake us, do not thou, O God, forsake us, but to reign in glory take us with thee on high.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 800 hymnals Topics: Work of Creation Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to ev'ry 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 list'ning 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 nor real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen. Scripture: Psalm 19:1 Used With Tune: CREATION
