My Song Shall Bless the Lord of All

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My song shall bless the Lord of all, My praise shall climb to His abode; Thee, Savior, by that name I call, The great Supreme, the mighty God. 2. Without beginning, or decline, Object of faith, and not of sense; Eternal ages saw Him shine, He shines eternal ages hence. 3. As much, when in the manger laid, Almighty Ruler of the sky; As when the six days’ works He made, Filled all the morning-stars with joy. 4. Of all the crowns Jehovah bears, Salvation is His dearest claim; That gracious sound well-pleased He hears, And owns Emmanuel for His name. 5. A cheerful confidence I feel, My well-placed hopes with joy I see; My bosom glows with heav’nly zeal To worship Him who died for me. 6. As man, He pities my complaint, His pow’r and truth are all divine; He will not fail, He cannot faint, Salvation’s sure, and must be mine. Used With Tune: TRURO Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 38

The Deluge At Th'Almighty's Call

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: The deluge at th’Almighty’s call Lyrics: 1 The deluge at th’Almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallowed the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck! how loud the roar! How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echoed from the lowering sky. 4 Yet Noah, humble, happy saint! Surrounded by a chosen few, Sat in his ark secure from fear, And sang the grace that steered him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall; Conscious how high my hopes are fixed, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls.

God Of My Life, Thy Constant Care

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, Thy constant care, With blessings crowns each opening year; This guilty life Thou dost prolong, And wake anew mine annual song. 2 How many precious souls are fled To the vast regions of the dead, Since from this day the changing sun Through his last yearly period run. 3 We yet survive; but who can say, Or through the year, or month or day, I will retain this vital breath; Thus far at least in league with death. 4 That breath is Thine, eternal God, ’This Thine to fix my soul’s abode; It holds its life from Thee alone, On earth, or in the world unknown. 5 To Thee our spirits we resign, Make them and own them still as Thine; So shall they smile, secure from fear, Though death should blast the rising year. 6 Thy children eager to be gone, Bid time’s impetuous tide roll on, And land them on that blooming shore, Where years and death are known no more.

Great God, In Vain Man's Narrow View

Author: Andrew Kippis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: Great God, in vain man’s narrow view Lyrics: 1 Great God, in vain man’s narrow view Attempts to look Thy nature through; Our laboring powers with reverence own Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph’s mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace Thy boundless mind. 3 Yet, Lord, Thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal men to know; While wisdom, goodness, power divine Thro’ all Thy works and conduct shine. 4 O! may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace, Explore Thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do Thy will!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing a new song to the LORD, sing all the earth and bless His name; from day to day His praise record, the LORD's redeeming grace proclaim. 2 Tell all the world God's wondrous ways, tell heathen nations far and near; great is the LORD, and great His praise; the Him alone, let nations fear. 3 The heathen gods are idols vain; the shining heav'ns the LORD supports; both light and honor lead His train; while strength and beauty fill His courts. 4 Let every tongue and every tribe give to the LORD due praise and sing; all glory unto Him ascribe, come, throng His courts, and off'rings bring. 5 O fear and bow, adorned with grace, and tell each land that God is King; the earth He founded in its place, and justice to the world will bring. 6 Let heav'n be glad, let earth rejoice, the teeming sea resound with praise; let waving fields lift high their voice, and all the trees their anthem raise. 7 So let them shout before our God, for lo, He comes, He comes with might, to wield the scepter and the rod, to judge the world with truth and right.
