Creatures vain, and God All-sufficient

Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence; Praise for creation and providence First Line: O happy Nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 O happy Nation, where the Lord Reveals the Treasure of his Word, And builds his Church, his earthly Throne! His Eye the Heathen World surveys, He form'd their Hearts, he knows their Ways; But GOD their Maker is unknown. 2 Let Kings rely upon their Host, And of his Strength the Champion boast; In vain they boast, in vain rely; In vain we trust the brutal Force; Or Speed or Courage of an Horse, To guard his Rider, or to fly. 3 The Eye of thy Compassion, Lord, Doth more secure Defence afford When Death or Dangers threat'ning stand; Thy watchful Eye preserves the Just, Who make thy Name their Fear and Trust, When Wars or Famine waste the Land. 4 In Sickness, or the bloody Field, Thou our Physician, thou our Shield, Send us Salvation from thy Throne; We wait to see thy Goodness shine; Let us rejoice in Help divine, For all our Hope is GOD alone. Scripture: Psalm 133

Praise him, for with the mighty Acts Which he for us hath done, Our Praise should equal run. His Kindness this Return exacts. 2 Let the shrill Trumpet's Voice Make Rocks his Praise resound; Praise him with Harp's sweet Noise, And Psaltries Silver sound. Let graceful Virgins lead the Dance, And sprightly Timbrels bring; Let ev'ry warbling String, With Organs join'd, his Praise advance. 3 Let them who Hymns compose, To Cymbals set their Praise, Of common Use, and those That sound on solemn Days. The Breath he does to them afford, Let them who Life enjoy, In Songs of Praise employ, LET EV'RY CREATURE PRAISE THE LORD! Scripture: Psalm 150 Used With Tune: [Praise God in that bless'd Place]

Praise due to GOD, not to Idols

Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence First Line: Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye Saints: To praise your King, Your sweetest Passions raise, Your pious Pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the Praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and Works unknown Are his divine Employ; But still his Saints are near his Throne, His Treasure and his Joy. 3 Heav'n, Earth, and Sea confess his Hand; He bids the Vapours rise; Lightning and Storm at his Command Sweep through the sounding Skies. 4 All Pow'r that Gods or Kings have claim'd Is found with him alone; But Heathen Gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the Stocks or Stones they trust Can give them Show'rs of Rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring Dust, And pray to Gold in vain. 6 [Their Gods have Tongues that cannot talk, Such as their Makers gave; Their Feet were ne'er design'd to walk; Nor Hands have Pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their Eyes, their Ears are deaf, Nor hear when Mortals pray; Mortals, that wait for their Relief Are blind and deaf as they.] 8 O Britain! know thy living GOD, Serve him with Faith and Fear; He makes thy Churches his Abode, And claims thine Honours there. Scripture: Psalm 135

Alting tjener dem til Gode

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Alting tjener dem til Gode, Som i sandhed elske Gud, O, det gjør meg vel til Mode, Alt han fører herligt ud! Er hans Raad end underligt, Fatter Kjød og Blod ei Sligt, Gavn han dog af Alt udleder, Og til Himlen mig bereder. 2 Skinner Velstand i min Bolig, Eller Sorgers mørke Nat Gjør i Sjælen mig urolig, Var jeg for Guds Pil udsat Som et dagligt Maal og Med, Kasted' han i Støvet ned, Eller hjalp han mig paa Fode, Alting tjene skal til Gode. 3 Tog du af Hans Haand de Gaver, Hvortil Mammons arme Træl Liv og Hjerte ofret haver, Derved søgte Gud din Sjæl, Drog med Kjærlighedens Snor, Bad dig se op fra vor Jord, Se, at han al Godheds Fader, Ei forandres, ei aflader. 4 Ære, Sundhed, Fred og Leide, Sygdom, Fare, Armod, Spot, Alting skal paa mig arbeide, Til Gud har gjort Alting godt, Og sin Bygning snart fuldbragt, Jesus er som Grundsten lagt; Ham paa hvem min Tro sig hviler, Ham mit Haab og efteriler. 5 Skal jeg end i Kjødet lide, Det til Gode tjener mig, Driver mig fra Synd i Tide, Skynder mig, o Gud, til dig; O, saa vorder jeg bered, Til en salig Evighed, Ei ved Regn og Solskin ene, Tørke med og Storm kan tjene. 6 Ja, naar end min sidste Fiende Fordrer, jeg skal give tabt, Skal jeg ham dog overvinde Ved min Frelsers Jesu Kraft, Han mig aabne skal en Dør, Jeg har str"bt at kjende fOr, Døden tjene skal til Gode, Derfor er jeg vel tilmode.

Op al den Ting, som Gud har gjort

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Op al den Ting, som Gud har gjort, Hans Herlighed at prise! Det Mindste, han har skabt, er stort, Og kan hans Magt bevise. 2 Gik alle Konger frem paa Nad I deres Magt og Vælde, De mægted' ei det mindste Blad At sætte paa en Nælde. 3 Ja, alle Engles store Kraft, Som Himmelscepter føre, Har ingen Tid den Evne havt, Det mindste Støv at gjøre. 4 Det mindste Græs jeg undrer paa I Skove og i Dale, Hvor skulde jeg den Visdom faa, Om det kun ret at tale! 5 Hvad vil jeg da begynde, naar Jeg idet gjennemkiger, Hvor mange Folk der gik og gaar I alle Verdens Riger! 6 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar jeg ser, At alle Skove vrimle, De mange Fuglesving, der sker Op under Herrens Himle? 7 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar jeg gaar Blandt Blomsterne i Enge, Naar Fuglesangen sammenslaar Som tusind Harpestrenge! 8 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar mit Sind I Havets dybe Grunde Kun dog saa lidt kan kige ind, Og ser saa mange Munde! 9 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar jeg vil Saa høit, jeg kan, opkige, Og vende alle Tanker til Det blanke Solens Rige? 10 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar jeg ser, Hvor Stjerneflokken blinker, Hvor mildt enhver imod mig ler Og op til Himlen vinker? 11 Hvad skal jeg sige, naar jeg op Til Gud i Aanden farer, Og ser den store Kjæmpetrop Af blide Engleskarer? 12 Hvad skal jeg sige?–mine Ord Vil ikke meget sige: O Gud, hvad er din Visdom stor, Din Godhed, Kraft og Rige! 13 Alt det, som haver Aande, skal Sin Skabers Pris betegne, Hans Lov skal fylde Bjerg og Dal Og alle Verdens Egne. 14 O, priser Gud paa denne Jord Hver, som bar Sans og Tunge! Og al den Del, i Himlen bor, Vor Skabers Lov skal sjunge! 15 Slaar alle Folk paa denne Jord, Med Frydetoner sammen: Halleluja! vor Gud er stor! Og Himlen svarer: Amen!
