The Greatness of God in Nature

Hymnal: The Psalter #285 (1912) Topics: Thanksgiving Declared First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts He has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day. And there the beast gather their thirst to allay. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS

A Faithful Creator

Hymnal: The Psalter #286 (1912) Topics: Thanksgiving Declared First Line: He waters the hills with rains from the skies Lyrics: 1 He waters the hills with rain from the skies, And plentiful grass and herbs He supplies, Supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil With bread in abundance with wine and with oil. 2 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, And over the earth their branches are spread; They keep in their shelter the birds of the air, The life of each creature the Lord makes His care. 3 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine, The slow changing moon shows fort God's design; The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys, And running his journey hastes not nor delays. 4 The lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair, The lions creep forth, God's bounty to share; The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away And men are beginning the work of the day. 5 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord! The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored; The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro, And creatures unnumbered it shelters below. 6 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food; Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good; Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn; Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: STANLEY

Praise and Confession

Hymnal: The Psalter #290 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Thanksgiving Declared First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength he came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine.

Sin and Divine Patience

Hymnal: The Psalter #291 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Thanksgiving Declared First Line: Their God and Saviour they forgot Lyrics: 1 Their God and Saviour they forgot, Their helper and their stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, he heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel his people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM
