The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, Lord

Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, Lord, which that alone can fill; The Firmament and Stars express their great Creator's Skill. 2 The Dawn of each returning Day, fresh Beams of Knowledge brings; From darkest Night's successive rounds divine Instruction springs. 3 Their pow'rful language to no Realm or Region is confin'd; 'Tis Nature's Voice, and understood alike by all Mankind. 4 Their Doctrine does its sacred Sense through Earth's Extent display; Whose bright contents the circling Sun does round the World convey. 5 No Bridegroom for his Nuptials dress'd, has such a chearful Face: No Giant does like him rejoice, to run his glorious Race. 6 From East to West, from West to East, his restless Course he goes; And, through his Progress, chearful Light, and vital Warmth bestows. Part II 7 God's perfect Law converts the Soul, reclaims from false Desires; With sacred wisdom His sure Word the Ignorant inspires. 8 The Statutes of the Lord are just, and bring sincere Delight; His pure commands in search of Truth assist the feeblest Sight. 9 His perfect Worship here is fix'd, on sure Foundations laid: His equal Laws are in the Scales of Truth and Justice weigh'd: 10 Of more Esteem than golden Mines, or Gold refin'd with Skill; More sweet than Honey, or the Drops that from the Comb distil. 11 My trusty Counsellors they are, and friendly Warnings give: Divine Rewards attend on those who by thy Precepts live. 12 But what frail Man observes how oft he does from Virtue fall! O, cleanse me from my secret Faults, thou God that know'st them all. 13 Let no presumptuous Sin, O Lord, Dominion have o'er me; That, by thy Grace preserv'd, I may the great Transgression flee. 14 So shall my Pray'r and Praises be with thy Acceptance blest; And I secure, on thy Defence, my Strength and Saviour, rest.

Cleanse me from hidden stain; keep me from wilful sins, nor let them o'er me reign; and then I upright shall appear and be from great transgressions clear. 5 Whene'er you search my life, may all my thoughts within and all the words I speak your full approval win. O Lord, you are a Rock to me, and my Redeemer you shall be.

I love the volume of thy word

Author: Watts Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of thy word; What light and joy those leaves afford To souls benighted and distressed! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray, Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2 From the discoveries of thy law, Thy perfect rules of life I draw: These are my study and delight; Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that has the furnace passed, Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3 Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God! forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain; Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace, And book of nature, not in vain.

Thy law is perfect, Lord of light

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: Thy law is perfect, Lord of light! Thy testimonies sure, The statutes of Thy realm are right, And thy commandments pure. Holy, inviolate Thy fear, Enduring as Thy throne: Thy judgments, chastening or severe, Justice and truth alone:-- More prized than gold,--than gold whose waste Refining fire expels; Sweeter than honey to my taste, Than honey from the cells. 26 Let these, O God! my soul convert; And make Thy servant wise; Let these be gladness to my heart, The day-spring to mine eyes. By these may I be warn'd betimes; Who knows the guilt within? Lord, save me from presumptuous crimes, Cleanse me from secret sin! So may the words my lips express, The thoughts that throng my mind, O Lord, my strength and righteousness! With Thee acceptance find. Topics: God's law

Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare, The firmament displays Thy skill; The changing clouds, the viewless air, Tempest and calm Thy word fulfil; Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night Thy knowledge teach. Though voice nor sound inform the ear, Well-known the language of their song, When one by one the stars appear, Led by the silent moon along, Till round the earth, from all the sky, Thy beauty beams on every eye. Waked by Thy touch, the shining sun Comes like a bridegroom from his bower, And, like a giant, glad to run His bright career with speed and power-- Thy flaming messenger, to dart Life through the depth of Nature's heart. While these transporting visions shine Along the path of Providence, Glory eternal, joy divine, Thy word reveals, transcending sense; My soul Thy goodness longs to see, Thy love to man, Thy love to me.
