Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders He hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot, Be lost in silence and forgot? 3. ’Tis he, my soul, that sent His Son To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom and forgives The hourly follies of our lives, The hourly follies of our lives. 4. The vices of the mind He heals, And cures the pains that nature feels; Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat’ning graves, Our wasting life from threat’ning graves. 5. Our youth decayed, His power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years: He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food. 6. He sees th’oppressor and th’oppresst, And often gives the suff’rers rest; But will His justice more display In the last great rewarding day, In the last great rewarding day. 7. His pow'r he showed by Moses’ hands, And gave to Israel his commands; But sent His truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son, To all the nations by his Son. 8. Let the whole earth His power confess, Let the whole earth adore His grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine, In work and worship so divine.

The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 811 hymnals Topics: Worship of God Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every 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 listening 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 no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen.
