Praise to God from all Creatures
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #278b (1787) Topics: Works of creation and providence; Works of creation and providence First Line: Ye tribes of Adam, join Lyrics: 1 Ye tribes of Adam, join
With heaven, 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 mov'd their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each his word fulfils
While time and nature last.
In different ways
His works proclaim
His wondrous name,
And speak his praise.
Pause.
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 vapours, 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 heavenly wonders 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 honours high. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English

To praise th' eternal GOD;
Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.
2 Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays;
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above,
And fix'd their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And ever speak his name.
4 Ye vapours, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers or snow;
Ye thunders, murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
5 Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.
6 By all his works above
His honours be exprest;
But saints that taste his saving love
Should sing his praises best.
Pause.
7 Let earth and ocean know
They owe their maker praise;
Praise him, ye watery worlds below,
And monsters of the seas.
8 From mountains near the sky
Let his high praise resound,
From humble shrubs and cedars high,
And vales and fields around.
9 Ye lions of the wood,
And tamer beasts that graze,
Ye live upon his daily food,
And he expects your praise.
10 Ye birds of lofty wing,
On high his praises bear;
Or sit on flowery boughs and sing
Your Maker's glory there.
11 Ye reptile myriads join
T' exalt his glorious name,
And flies in beauteous forms that shine,
His wondrous skill proclaim.
12 By all the earth-born race
His honours be express;'d,
But saints that know his heavenly grace
Should learn to praise him best.
Pause.
13 Monarchs of wide command,
Praise ye th' eternal king;
Judges, adore that sovereign hand,
Whence all your honours spring.
14 Let vigorous youth engage
To sound his praises high:
While growing babes and withering age,
Their feebler voices try.
15 United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise;
GOD is the Lord; his name alone
Deserves our endless praise.
16 Let nature join with art,
And all pronounce him blest,
But saints, that dwell so near his heart
Should sing his praises best.

Hymnal: The Psalter #15 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Praise For Works of Creation First Line: Lord, our Lord, Thy glorious Name Lyrics: 1 Lord, our Lord, thy glorious Name
All thy wondrous works proclaim;
In the heav'ns with radiant signs
Evermore thy glory shines.
Infant lips Thou dost ordain
Wrath and vengeance to restrain;
Weakest means fulfill Thy will,
Mighty enemies to still.
2 Moon and stars in shining height
Nightly tell their Maker's might;
When thy wondrous heav'ns I scan,
Then I know how weak is man.
What is man that he should be
Loved and visited by Thee,
Raised to an exalted height,
Crowned with honor in Thy sight?
3 With dominion crowned he stands
O'er the creatures of Thy hands;
All to him subjection yield
In the sea and air and field.

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XIV (1789) Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings The Bounty of God in the Works of Creation Lyrics: 1 We bless the Lord, the great, the good,
Who fills our hearts with joy and food;
Who pours his blessings from the skies,
And loads our Days with rich supplies.
2 He sends the sun his circuit round,
To cheer the fruits, to warm the ground;
In plenteous drops of genial rain
Revives the grass and swells the grain.
3 His bounteous hand, Great Spring of Good,
Provides the whole creation food;
He ever gives, yet still has more;
His gifts can ne'er decrease his store.
4 We bless the Lord, who reigns above,
Whose thoughts are kind, whose name is love;
Whose bounty through creation flows,
And life and bless on all bestows.

The pow'r and goodness of the Lord;
How great his works, how kind his ways!
Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. Languages: English

The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #103 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Work of Creation Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
Th'unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's pow'r display,
And publishes to ev'ry land
The work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the list'ning earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball?
What though nor real voice nor sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
For ever singing, as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine."
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 19:1 Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends his showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3 He gives the grazing ox his meat,
He hears the ravens cry;
But man who tastes his finest wheat,
Should raise his honours high.
4 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
6 When from the dreadful stores on high
He pours the sounding hail,
The wretch that dares his God defy
Shall find his courage fail.
7 He sends his word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
8 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty word:
With songs and honours sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:13-18 Languages: English
