High in the heavens, eternal God

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XLI (1789) Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual Providence and Grace Lyrics: 1 High in the heavens, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break thro' ev'ry cloud Which veils and darkens thy designs. 2 Forever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands, Thy judgments are a mighty deep! 3 Thy mercy makes the earth thy care, Thy providence is kind and large; Angels and men thy bounty share, The whole creation is thy charge. 4 Since of thy goodness all partake, With what assurance may the just Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make, And saints to thy protection trust. 5 Such guest shall to thy courts be led, And there enjoy a rich repast; There drink, as from a fountain head, Of joys which shall forever last. 6 With thee the springs of life remain, Thy presence is eternal day; O let thy saints thy favour gain, To upright hearts thy truth display.

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XLIV (1789) Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual Thanksgiving for the Fruits of the Earth Lyrics: 1 O thou, who to my humble pray'r Dost always bend thy list'ning ear! To thee shall all mankind repair, And at thy gracious throne appear. 2 By wond'rous acts, O God, most just! Have we thy gracious answer found; In thee remotest nations trust, And those whom stormy waves surround. 3 From out thy unexhausted store Thy rain relieves the thirsty ground; Makes lands, that barren were before, With corn and richest fruits abound. 4 On rising ridges down it pours, And ev'ry furrow'd valley fills; Thou mak'st them soft with gentle show'rs, In which a blest increase distils. 5 Thy goodness does the circling year With fresh returns of plenty crown; And where thy glorious paths appear, Thy fruitful clouds drop fatness down. 6 They drop on barren forests, chang'd By them to pastures fresh and green; The hills about, in order rang'd, In beauteous robes of joy are seen. 7 Large flocks, with fleecy wool, adorn The cheerful downs; the vallies bring A plenteous crop of full-ear'd corn, And seem for joy to shout and sing.

And, partner in the sacred mirth, Let ocean in its fulness rise, And thunder to the distant skies! 4 Rich in his gifts, ye fields, rejoice! While in his praise the woods their voice Exalt, and hail, with lowly rod, The presence of th' approaching God! 5 He comes, in awful pomp array'd! He comes, to judge the world he made! TRUTH shall with him the case decide, And EQUITY his sentence guide. Languages: English

Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, 6 My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dismal shade.
