Twas God who hurl'd the rolling spheres

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 'Twas God who hurl'd the rolling spheres, And stretch'd the boundless skies; Who form'd the plan of endless years, And bade the ages rise. 2 From everlasting is his might, Immense and unconfin'd: He pierces through the realms of light, And rides upon the wind. 3 He darts along the burning skies; Loud thunders round him roar: All heav'n attends him, as he flies; All hell proclaims his pow'r. 4 He scatters nations with his breath; The scatter'd nations fly: Blue pestilence and wasting death, Confess the Godhead nigh. 5 Ye worlds, with ev'ry living thing, Fulfil his high command: Mortals, pay homage to your King, And own his ruling hand.

The glory of God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Ye sons of men, in sacred lays Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in sacred lays, Attempt the great Creator's praise; But who an equal song can frame? What verse can reach the lofty theme? 2 He sits enthron'd amidst the spheres, And glory like a garment wears; While boundless wisdom, pow'r, and grace, Command our awe, transcend our praise. 3 Before his throne a shining band Of cherubs and of seraphs stand; Ethereal spirits, who in flight Outstrip the rapid speed of light. 4 To God all nature owes its birth, He form'd this pond'rous globe of earth, He raised the glorious arch on high, And measur'd out the azure sky. 5 In all our Maker's grand designs, Omnipotence with wisdom shines. His works, through all this wondrous frame, Bear the great impress of his name. 6 Rais'd on devotion's lofty wing, Let us his high perfections sing: O let his praise employ our tongue, Whilst list'ning worlds applaud the song!

To Thee there’s nothing old appears, Great God! there’s nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.

God is a Spirit, just and wise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise; He sees our inmost mind. In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear. The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.
