Our souls with pleasing wonder view

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #55 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Our souls with pleasing wonder view The bounties of thy grace; How much bestow'd, how much reserv'd, For those that seek thy face. 2 Thy lib'ral hand with worldly bliss Oft makes their cup run o'er; And in the cov'nant of thy love They find diviner store. 3 Here mercy hides their num'rous sins; Here grace their souls renews; Here hope, and love, and joy, and peace Their heav'nly beams diffuse. 4 But oh! what treasures yet unknown Are lodg'd in worlds to come! If these th'enjoyments of the way, How happy is their home! 5 And what shall mortal worms reply? Or how such goodness own? But 'tis our joy, that, Lord, to thee Thy servants' hearts are known. 6 Since time's too short, all-gracious God, To utter half thy praise; Loud, to the honour of thy name, Eternal hymns we'll raise.

My soul, repeat his praise

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #56 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His strokes are felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heav’ns are rais'd, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And his forgiving love Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Languages: English

Up to the Lord, who reigns on high

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #58 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: Up to the Lord, who reigns on high, And views the nations from afar, Let everlasting praises fly, And tell how large his bounties are. He overrules all mortal things, And manages our mean affairs; On humble souls the King of kings Bestows his counsels and his cares. Our sorrows and our tears we pour Into the bosom of our God; He hears us in the mournful hour, And helps to bear the heavy load. In vain might lofty princes try Such condescension to perform; For worms were never rais'd so high Above their meanest fellow-worm. O could our thankful hearts devise A tribute equal to thy grace, To the third heav'n our songs should rise, And teach the golden harps thy praise. Languages: English

Let ev'ry tongue thy goodness speak

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #59 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry tongue thy goodness speak, Thou sov'reign Lord of all: Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak, And raise the poor that fall. 2 When sorrow bows the spirit down, Or virtue lies distress'd, Beneath some proud oppressor’s frown, Thou giv’st the mourners rest. 3 Thou know'st the pains His servants feel, Thou hear'st thy children cry; And, their best wishes to fulfil, His grace is ever nigh. 4 His mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere; Thou sav'st the souls, whose humble love Is join'd with holy fear. 5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, And spread thy fame abroad. Let all the sons of Adam rise The honours of their God. Languages: English

Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on ev'ry side. 5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from ev'ry ill, Secur'd by sov'reign love. Languages: English

What eyes, like thine, eternal Sire

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #47 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 What eyes like thine, eternal Sire, Through sin's obscurest depths inquire? What judge, like thee, on virtue's foes The needful vengeance can impose? 2 The meek observer of thy laws To thee commits his injur'd cause: In thee, each anxious fear resign'd, The fatherless a father find. 3 Thine is the throne; beneath thy reign, Immortal King, the tribes profane Behold their dreams of conquest o'er, And vanish to be seen no more. 4 'Tis thine the orphan's cheek to dry, The guiltless suff'rer's cause to try, To rein each earth-born tyrant's will, And bid the sons of pride be still.

Blest above all by love divine, To praise is eminently thine. Languages: English
