Keep Silence, All Created Things

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Keep silence, all created things, And wait your Maker’s nod! My soul stands trembling while she sings The honors of her God. 2. Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown Hang on His firm decree; He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave to be. 3. Chained to His throne, a volume lies, With all the fates of men, With every angel’s form and size, Drawn by th’eternal pen. 4. His providence unfolds the book, And makes His counsels shine; Each opening leaf, and every stroke Fulfills some deep design. 5. Here He exalts neglected worms To scepters and a crown; And there the following page He turns, And treads the monarch down. 6. Not Gabriel asks the reason why, Nor God the reason gives; Nor dares the favorite angel pry Between the folded leaves. 7. My God, I would not long to see My fate with curious eyes, What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes may rise. 8. In Thy fair book of life and grace, O may I find my name Recorded in some humble place, Beneath my Lord the Lamb! Used With Tune: TWENTY-FOURTH
