Ye Tribes Of Adam, Join
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye tribes of Adam, join
With Heav’n, and earth, and seas,
And offer notes divine
To your creator’s praise:
Ye holy throng of angels bright,
In worlds of light, begin the song.
2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your maker’s praise,
With stars of twinkling light:
His power declare, ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly in empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By His supreme command:
He spake the word, and all their frame
From nothing came, to praise the Lord.
4 He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each His word fulfills
While time and nature last:
In different ways His works proclaim
His wondrous name, and speak His praise.
5 Let all the earth-born race,
And monsters of the deep
The fish that cleave the seas,
Or in their bosom sleep;
From sea and shore their tribute pay,
And still display their maker’s power.
6 Ye vapors, hail, and snow,
Praise ye th’almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow,
To execute His word:
When lightnings shine, or thunders roar,
Let earth adore His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size,
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame, birds, flies, and worms,
In various forms, exalt His name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord, the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heav’nly honors sing;
Nor let the dream of power and state
Make you forget His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths, engage
To sound His praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as He reigns His name be sung
By every tongue in endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings His people near,
And makes them taste His love:
While earth and sky attempt His praise,
His saints shall raise His honors high. Used With Tune: LENOX Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Ye Tribes Of Adam, Join
Descend, Celestial Dove
Author: John Fellows, ?-1785 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Descend, celestial Dove,
And make Thy presence known;
Reveal our Savior’s love,
And seal us for Thine own;
Unblessed by Thee, our works are vain,
Nor can we e’er acceptance gain.
2 When our incarnate God,
The sovereign Prince of Light,
In Jordan’s swelling flood,
Received the holy rite,
In open view Thy form came down,
And dove-like flew, the King to crown.
3 The day was never known,
Since time began its race,
On which such glory shone,
On which was shown such grace,
As that which shed, in Jordan’s stream,
On Jesus’ head, the heavenly beam.
4 Continue still to shine,
And fill us with Thy fire:
This ordinance is Thine,
Do Thou our souls inspire!
Thou wilt attend on all Thy sons:
Till time shall end, Thy promise runs. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors by John Rippon, 1787

You Holy Angels Bright
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 You holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song, for else the theme
too high doth seem for mortal tongue.
2 You blessed souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Savior's face;
God’s praises sound, as in his sight
with sweet delight you do abound.
3 All nations of the earth,
extol the world's great King;
with melody and mirth
his glorious praises sing;
for he still reigns, and will bring low
the proudest foe that him disdains.
4 Sing forth Jehovah’s praise,
you saints, that on him call!
Him magnify always,
his holy churches all!
In him rejoice, and there proclaim
his holy name with sounding voice.
5 My soul, bear now your part,
triumph in God above;
with a well-tuned heart
sing now the songs of love;
you are his own, whose precious blood
shed for your good his love made known.
6 Away, distrustful care!
I have your promise, Lord;
to banish all despair,
I have your oath and word;
and therefore I shall see your face
and there your grace shall magnify.
7 With your triumphant flock
then I shall numbered be;
built on th’eternal Rock,
his glory we shall see.
The heav’ns so high with praise shall ring
and all shall sing in harmony.

The Spacious Heavens Declare
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The spacious heav'ns declare Lyrics: 1 The spacious heav'ns declare
the glory of our God,
the firmament displays
His handiwork abroad;
day unto day proclaims His might,
and night His wisdom tells to night.
2 Aloud they do not speak,
they utter forth no word,
nor into language break -
their voice is never heard;
yet through the world the truth they bear
and their Creator's pow'r declare.
3 The clouds of heav'n are spread,
a tent to hold the sun,
and like a bridegroom fair
comes forth the mighty one,
rejoicing in his strength and grace
to run his wondrous daily race.
4 His daily going forth
is from the end of heav'n;
the firmament to him
is for his circuit giv'n;
his journey reaches to its ends,
and ev'rywhere his heat extends. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Lord of the worlds above
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 501 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; and happy they
That love the way to Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat, when God, our King,
Shall thither bring our willing feet!
4 God is our Sun and Shield,
Our Light and our Defense;
With gifts His hands are filled:
We draw our blessings thence.
Thrice happy he, O God of Hosts,
Whose spirit trusts alone in Thee!
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Opening; Aspiration; Opening of Service; Processionals; Trust and Confidence; Worship Opening Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
