Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Amos 5:8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise, Thee the creations sing: With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace ring. 2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky, How glorious to behold! Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, And starred with sparkling gold. 3 There thou hast bid the globes of light Their endless circuits run; There the pale planet rules the night; The day obeys the sun. 4 If down I turn my wandering eyes On clouds and storms below, Those under-regions of the skies, Thy numerous glories show. 5 The noisy winds stand ready there Thy orders to obey; With sounding winds they sweep the air, To make thy chariot way. 6 But the mild glories of thy grace, Our softer passions move; Pity divine in Jesus' face We see, adore, and love.

A depth, where all our thoughts are drowned; The stars he numbers; and their names He gives to all those heavenly flames. 3 Through each bright world above, behold Ten thousand thousand charms unfold; Each, air, and mighty seas combine To speak his wisdom all-divine. 4 But in redemption--oh, what grace! Its wonders--oh, what thought can trace! Here wisdom shines for ever bright: Praise him, my soul, with sweet delight. Topics: Attributes of God Knowledge and Wisdom; Wisdom of God

God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending

Author: Robert Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Amos 5:24 Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending, from your rich and endless store; nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom, costly cross, grave's shattered door, gifted by you, we turn to you, off'ring up ourselves in praise; thankful song shall rise forever, gracious donor of our days. 2 Skills and time are ours for pressing toward the goals of Christ, your Son; all at peace in health and freedom, races joined, the church made one. Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at your throne. 3 Treasure too you have entrusted, gain through pow'rs your grace conferred, ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel word. Open wide our hands in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching, and reclaiming, serving you by loving all.
