There's not a place in earth's vast round

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Omnipresence Lyrics: 1 There's not a place in earth's vast round, In ocean deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not found, For God is everywhere. 2 Around, within, below, above, Wherever space extends, There heaven displays its boundless love, And power with mercy blends. 3 Then rise, my soul, and sing his name, And all his praise rehearse, Who spread abroad earth's wondrous frame, And built the universe. 4 Where'er thine earthly lot is cast, His power and love declare; Nor think the mighty theme too vast, For God is everywhere.

Meet and right it is to sing

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Holiness Lyrics: 1 Meet and right it is to sing, In every time and place, Glory to our heavenly King, The God of truth and grace. Join we then with sweet accord, All in one thanksgiving join! Holy, holy, holy Lord, Eternal praise be thine! 2 Thee, the first-born sons of light, In choral symphonies, Praise by day, day without night, And never, never cease; Angels and archangels, all Praise the mystic Three in One; Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall, O'erwhelmed before thy throne! 3 Father, God, thy love we praise, Which gave thy Son to die; Jesus, full of truth and grace, Alike we glorify; Spirit, Comforter divine. Praise by all to thee be given, Till we in full chorus join, And earth is turned to heaven. Scripture: Exodus 13:21

O LORD! how happy should we be

Author: J. Austice Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Providence Lyrics: 1 O LORD! how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on Thee-- If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2 How far from this our daily life! Ever disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden, wild alarms; Oh could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On thy Almighty arms! 3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer-- Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry, Will hear, in that we fear! 4 We can not trust him as we should, So chafes fall'n nature's restless mood To cast its peace away; Yet birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach, Sufficient for the day. 5 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lesson learn from birds and flowers; Make them from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father's will, And taste, before him lying still, E'en in affliction, peace.

With songs and honors sounding loud

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Attributes of God Providence Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessings down, To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 5 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. 6 When from his dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy, Shall find his courage fail. 7 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 74:16

Scripture: Psalm 3:5
