Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Author: W. Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:31-35 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all life Thou givest--to both great and small-- In all life Thou livest, the true Life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree And wither and perish--but naught changes Thee. 4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All laud we would render: O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light that hides Thee.

Bless God, my Soul,; Thou, Lord, alone

Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Bless God, my Soul; thou, Lord, alone Possessest Empire without Bounds, With Honour Thou art crown'd, thy Throne Eternal Majesty surrounds. 2 With Light Thou dost thyself enrobe, And Glory for a Garment take; Heaven's Curtains stretch, beyond the Globe, Thy Canopy of State to make. 3 God builds on liquid Air, and forms His Palace Chambers in the Skies; The Clouds his Chariots are, and Storms The swift-wing'd Steeds with which he flies. 4 As bright as Flame, as swift as Wind, His Ministers Heaven's Palace fill, To have their sundry Tasks assign'd All proud to serve their Sov'reign's Will. 5,6 Earth on her Centre fix'd He set, Her Face with Waters overspread; Nor proudest Mountains dar'd as yet, To lift above the Waves their Head. 7 But when thy awful Face appear'd, Th' insulting Waves dispers'd; they fled, When once thy Thunder's Voice they heard, And by their Haste confess'd their Dread. 8 Thence up by secret Tracks they creep, And gushing from the Mountain's Side, Thro' Vallies travel to the Deep, Appointed to receive their Tide. 9 There hast thou fix'd the Ocean's Bounds, The threatning Surges to repel; That they no more o'erpass their Mounds, Nor to a second Deluge swell. Part II 10 Yet thence in smaller Parties drawn, The Sea recovers her lost Hills; And starting Springs from ev'ry Lawn, Surprize the Vales with plenteous Rills. 11 The Fields tame Beasts are thither led, Weary with Labour, faint with Drought; And Asses on wild Mountains bred, Have Sense to find these Currents out. 12 There shady Trees from scorching Beams, Yield Shelter to the feather'd Throng; They drink, and to the bounteous Streams Return the Tribute of their Song. 13 His Rains from Heav'n parch'd hills recruit, That soon transmit the liquid Store; 'Till Earth is burthen'd with her Fruit, And Nature's Lap can hold no more. 14 Grass, for our Cattle to devour, He makes the Growth of ev'ry Field; Herbs, for Man's Use of various Pow'r, That either Food or Physick yield. 15 With cluster'd Grapes he crowns the vine, To chear Man's Heart opprest with Cares, Give Oil that makes his Face to shine; And Corn, that wasted Strength repairs. Part III 16 The Trees of God, without the Care Or Art of Man, with Sap are fed; The Mountain Cedar looks as fair, As those in royal Gardens bred. 17 Safe in the lofty Cedar's Arm's The Wand'rers of the Air may rest; The hospitable Pine from Harms Protects the Stork, her pious Guest. 18 Wild Goats the craggy Rock ascend, Its tow'ring Heights their Fortress make, Whose Cells in labyrinths extend, Where feebler Creatures Refuge take. 19 The Moon's inconstant Aspect shows Th' appointed Seasons of the Year; Th' instructed Sun his Duty knows, His Hours to rise and disappear. 20,21 Darkness He makes the Earth to shroud, When Forest-Beasts securely stray; Young Lions roar their Wants aloud To Providence, that sends them Prey. 22 They range all Night, on Slaughter bent, 'Till summon'd by the rising Morn, To skulk in Dens with one Consent, The conscious Ravagers return. 23 Forth to the Tillage of the Soil, The Husbandman securely goes, Commencing with the Sun his Toil, With him returns to his Repose. 24 How various, Lord, thy Works are found; For which thy Wisdom we adore! The Earth is with thy Treasure crown'd, 'Till Nature's Hand can grasp no more. Part IV 25 But still, the vast unfathom'd Main Of Wonders a new Scene supplies, Whose Depths Inhabitants contain, Of ev'ry Form and ev'ry Size. 26 Full-freighted Ships from ev'ry Port, There cut their unmolested Way; Leviathan, whom there to sport Thou mad'st, his Compass there to play. 27 These various Troops of Sea and Land, In Sense of common Want agree: All wait on thy dispensing Hand, And have their daily Alms from Thee. 28 They gather what thy Stores disperse, Without their Trouble to provide: Thou op'st thy Hand, the Universe, The craving World is all supply'd. 29 Thou for a Moment hid'st thy Face, The num'rous Ranks of Creatures mourn: Thou tak'st their Breath, all Nature's Race Forthwith to Mother-Earth return. 30 Again thou send'st thy Spirit forth, T'inspire the Mass with vital Seed; Nature's restor'd, and Parent-Earth Smiles on her new-created Breed. 31 Thus through successive Ages stands Firm fix'd thy providential Care; Pleas'd with the Work of thy own Hands, Thou dost the Wastes of Time repair. 32 One Look of thine, one wrathful Look, Earth's panting Breast with Terror fills; One Touch from Thee, with Clouds of Smoak, In Darkness shrouds the proudest Hills. 33 In praising God, while He prolongs My Breath, I will that Breath employ; 34 And join Devotion to my Songs Sincere, as in Him is my Joy: 35 While Sinners from Earth's Face are hurl'd, My Soul, praise thou his holy Name, 'Till with my Song, the list'ning world Join Consort, and his Praise proclaim.

Psalm 104: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God Lyrics: 1Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great; With honour and with majesty thou clothed art in state. 2With light, as with a robe, thyself thou coverest about; And, like unto a curtain, thou the heavens stretchest out. 3Who of his chambers doth the beams within the waters lay; Who doth the clouds his chariot make, on wings of wind make way. 4Who flaming fire his ministers, his angels sp’rits, doth make: 5Who earth’s foundations did lay, that it should never shake. 6Thou didst it cover with the deep, as with a garment spread: The waters stood above the hills, when thou the word but said. 7But at the voice of thy rebuke they fled, and would not stay; They at thy thunder’s dreadful voice did haste them fast away. 8They by the mountains do ascend, and by the valley-ground Descend, unto that very place which thou for them didst found. 9Thou hast a bound unto them set, that they may not pass over, That they do not return again the face of earth to cover. 10He to the valleys sends the springs, which run among the hills: 11They to all beasts of field give drink, wild asses drink their fills. 12By them the fowls of heav’n shall have their habitation, Which do among the branches sing with delectation. 13He from his chambers watereth the hills, when they are dry’d: With fruit and increase of thy works the earth is satisfy’d. 14For cattle he makes grass to grow, he makes the herb to spring For th’ use of man, that food to him he from the earth may bring; 15And wine, that to the heart of man doth cheerfulness impart, Oil that his face makes shine, and bread that strengtheneth his heart. 16The trees of God are full of sap; the cedars that do stand In Lebanon, which planted were by his almighty hand. 17Birds of the air upon their boughs do chuse their nests to make; As for the stork, the fir-tree she doth for her dwelling take. 18The lofty mountains for wild goats a place of refuge be; The conies also to the rocks do for their safety flee. 19He sets the moon in heav’n, thereby the seasons to discern: From him the sun his certain time of going down doth learn. 20Thou darkness mak’st, ‘tis night, then beasts of forests creep abroad. 21The lions young roar for their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22The sun doth rise, and home they flock, down in their dens they lie. 23Man goes to work, his labour he doth to the ev’ning ply. 24How manifold, Lord, are thy works! in wisdom wonderful Thou ev’ry one of them hast made; earth’s of thy riches full: 25So is this great and spacious sea, wherein things creeping are, Which number’d cannot be; and beasts both great and small are there. 26There ships go; there thou mak’st to play that leviathan great. 27These all wait on thee, that thou may’st in due time give them meat. 28That which thou givest unto them they gather for their food; Thine hand thou open’st lib’rally, they filled are with good. 29Thou hid’st thy face; they troubled are, their breath thou tak’st away; Then do they die, and to their dust return again do they. 30Thy quick’ning spirit thou send’st forth, then they created be; And then the earth’s decayed face renewed is by thee. 31The glory of the mighty Lord continue shall for ever: The Lord Jehovah shall rejoice in all his works together. 32Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all, if he on it but look; And if the mountains he but touch, they presently do smoke. 33I will sing to the Lord most high, so long as I shall live; And while I being have I shall to my God praises give. 34Of him my meditation shall sweet thoughts to me afford; And as for me, I will rejoice in God, my only Lord. 35From earth let sinners be consum’d, let ill men no more be. O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord. Praise to the Lord give ye.
