When the Eternal bows the skies

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #189 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence and creation Lyrics: When the Eternal bows the skies To visit earthly things, With scorn divine he turns his eyes From towers of haughty kings. He bids his aweful chariot roll Far downward from the skies, To visit every humble soul With pleasure in his eyes. Why should the Lord that reigns above Disdain so lofty kings? Say, Lord, and why such looks of love Upon such worthless things? Mortals, be dumb; what creature dares Dispute his aweful will? Ask no account of his affairs, But tremble and be still. Just like his nature is his grace, All sovereign and all free; Great God, how searchless are thy ways, How deep thy judgments be! Scripture: Psalm 138:6 Languages: English

O happy soul! that lives on high

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #354 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence and creation Lyrics: O happy soul that lives on high While men lie grov'lling here His hopes are fixed above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. His conscience knows no secret stings, While peace and joy combine To form a life whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees; Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time; Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of sinners climb. He wants no pomp nor royal throne To raise his figure here; Content and pleased to live unknown, Till Christ, his life, appear. He looks to heav'n's eternal hill To meet that glorious day; But patient waits his Savior's will To fetch his soul away. Scripture: Colossians 3:3 Languages: English

Great is the Lord, exalted high

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #467 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence and creation Lyrics: Great is the Lord, exalted high Above all powers and every throne: Whate'er he please, in earth or sea, Or heav'n or hell, his hand hath done. At his command the vapors rise, The lightnings flash, the thunders roar; He pours the rain, he brings the wind And tempest from his airy store. 'Twas he those dreadful tokens sent, O Egypt, through thy stubborn land, When all thy first-born, beasts and men, Fell dead by his avenging hand. What mighty nations, mighty kings, He slew, and their whole country gave To Isr'el, whom his hand redeemed, No more to be proud Pharaoh's slave! His power the same, the same his grace, That saves us from the hosts of hell; And heav'n he gives us to possess, Whence those apostate angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12 Languages: English

Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #468 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence and creation Lyrics: Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord; His mercies still endure; And be the King of kings adored; His truth is ever sure. What wonders hath his wisdom done! How mighty is his hand! Heav'n, earth, and sea, he framed alone; How wide is his command The sun supplies the day with light; How bright his counsels shine! The moon and stars adorn the night; His works are all divine. [He struck the sons of Egypt dead; How dreadful is his rod! And thence with joy his people led; How gracious is our God! He cleft the swelling sea in two; His arm is great in might; And gave the tribes a passage through; His power and grace unite. But Pharaoh's army there he drowned; How glorious are his ways! And brought his saints through desert ground; Eternal be his praise! Great monarchs fell beneath his hand; Victorious is his sword; While Isr'el took the promised land; And faithful is his word.] He saw the nations dead in sin; He felt his pity move: How sad the state the world was in! How boundless was his love! He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death, and hell, and every foe; And still his grace prevails. Give thanks to God the heav'nly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth his praises sing; His truth is ever sure. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English

Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #494 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creation and Providence; Providence and creation Lyrics: Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name, While in his holy courts ye wait, Ye saints, that to his house belong, Or stand attending at his gate. Praise ye the Lord, the Lord is good; To praise his name is sweet employ: Isr'el he chose of old, and still His church is his peculiar joy. The Lord himself will judge his saints; He treats his servants as his friends; And when he hears their sore complaints, Repents the sorrows that he sends. Through every age the Lord declares His name, and breaks th' oppressor's rod He gives his suff'ring servants rest, And will be known th' Almighty God. Bless ye the Lord, who taste his love, People and priest, exalt his name: Amongst his saints he ever dwells; His church is his Jerusalem. Scripture: Psalm 135:19-21 Languages: English

Providence equitable and kind

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creation and Providence First Line: Thro' all the various shifting scene Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the various shifting scene Of life's mistaken ill or good; Thy hand, O God, conducts unseen The beautiful vicissitude. 2 Thou givest with paternal care, Howe'er unjustly we complain, To each their necessary share Of joy and sorrow, health and pain. 3 Trust we to youth, or friends, or power, Fix we on this terrestrial ball? When most secure, the coming hour, If thou see fit, may blast them all. 4 When lowest sunk with grief and shame, Fill'd with affliction's bitter cup, Lost to relations, friends, and fame, Thy pow'rful hand can raise us up. 5 Thy powerful consolations cheer, Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh, Thy hand can dry the trickling tear That secret wets the widow's eye. 6 All things on earth, and all in Heaven On thy eternal will depend; And all for greater good were given, And all shall in thy glory end. 7 This be my care; to all beside Indifferent let my wishes be; "Passion be calm; and dumb be pride, "And fix'd, O God, my soul on thee." Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Providence; or, God working all Things after the Council of his own Will

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creation and Providence First Line: Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design Lyrics: 1 Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design, Are fram'd upon thy throne above, And ev'ry dark and bending line, Meets in the centre of thy love. 2 With feeble light, and half obscure, Poor mortals thy arrangements view, Not knowing that the least are sure, And the mysterious just and true. 3 Thy flock, thy own peculiar care, Tho' now they seem to roam un-ey'd, Are led or driven only where They best, and safest may abide. 4 They neither know nor trace the way, But trusting to thy piercing eye; None of their feet to ruin stray, Nor shall the weakest fail or die. 5 My favor'd soul shall meekly learn, To lay her reason at thy throne; Too weak thy secrets to discern, I'll trust thee for my guide alone.
