Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 472 hymnals Topics: God Goodness of; God Omnipresence of; God Power of; Work of Creation Lyrics: 1 I sing th'almighty pow'r of God, That made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies, And built the lofty skies. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with his word, And then pronounced them good, And then pronounced them good. 3 Lord! how thy wonders are displayed Where'er I turn mine eye! If I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the sky, Or gaze upon the sky! 4 There's not a plant or flower below But makes thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from thy throne, By order from thy throne. 5 Creatures as numerous as they be Are subject to thy care; There's not a place where we can flee, But God is present there, But God is present there. Amen. Scripture: Exodus 20:11 Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Good Works; Good Works First Line: Who shall ascend thy heavenly place Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heavenly place, Great God, and dwell before thy face? The man who minds religion now, And humbly walk with God below: 2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean; Whose lips shall speak the things they mean; No slanders dwell upon his tongue; He hates to do his neighbour wrong. 3 [Scarce will he trust an ill report, Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt: Sinners of state he can despise, But saints are honour'd in his eyes.] 4 [Firm to his word he ever stood, And always makes his promise good Nor dares to change the thing he swears, Whatever pain or loss he bears.] 5 [He never deals in bribing gold, And mourns that justice should be sold: While others scorn and wrong the poor, Sweet charity attends his door.] 6 He loves his enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his face; And doth to all men still the same That he would hope or wish from them. 7 Yet, when his holiest works are done, His soul depends on grace alone: This is the man thy face shall see, And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. Scripture: Psalm 15

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine! 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide. My Lord of life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside the cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 4 What language shall I borrow, To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Oh, make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Scripture: Mark 15:17-18 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE
