O heavens, adore him; praise him, angels in the height. Sun and moon, rejoice before him; praise him, shining stars of light. Praise the LORD, for he has spoken; worlds his mighty voice obeyed. Laws which never shall be broken for their guidance he has made. 2 In the earth let all things praise him: seas and all that they contain, stormy winds that do his pleasure, hail and lightning, snow and rain. Hills and mountains, praise your Maker; praise him, all you flocks and herds. Fields and orchards, sing his glory; praise him, creeping things and birds. 3 All you nations, come before him: earthly rulers and all kings, men and women, parents, children, join with all created things. Praise the God of our salvation, who restores from sin and shame. Heaven and earth and all creation, praise and magnify his name!

O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Appears in 711 hymnals Topics: Will Of God Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by every foe! That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt: 4 That bears, unmoved, the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Or Satan's arts beguile: 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Illumes a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, We'll taste, while here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
