Nature with open volume stands

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands to spread her Maker's praise abroad, and every labour of his hands shows something worthy of our God. 2 But in the grace that rescued man his brightest form of glory shines; here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn in precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here his whole name appears complete; nor wit can guess, nor reason prove which of the letters best is writ, the power, the wisdom, or the love. 4 O the sweet wonders of that cross where God the Saviour loved and died; her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds and bleeding side. 5 I would for ever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.

Our Saviour comes to raise the just

Author: Anon. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Saviour comes to raise the just, Who long have slumbered in the dust; His voice will break their long repose; And snatch them from the last of foes. 2 He comes to change the waiting ones Who now endure the world's cold frowns; Their feet are planted on the Rock; They fear not, though a little flock. 3 Sinner, dost thou not dread thy doom? The retribution hastens on; Stern justice lifts the avenging sword To slay the mocker of God's word. 4 O then repent, ere the decree, "Let him that's filthy, filthy be," From the stern Judge's lips shall fall, And thou for rocks and mountains call!

Author: H. Ware Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou in Whom alone is found The strength by which our toil is blest, Upon this consecrated ground Now bid Thy cloud of glory rest. 2 In Thy great Name we place this stone; To Thy great truth these walls we rear: Long may they make Thy glory known, And long our Saviour triumph here. 3 And while Thy sons, from earth apart, Here seek the truth from heaven that sprung, Fill with Thy Spirit every heart, With living fire touch every tongue. 4 Lord, feed Thy church with peace and love; Let sin and error pass away, Till truth's full influence from above Rejoice the earth with cloudless day. Amen. Topics: Laying of a Corner-Stone; Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 360 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, attend, while Zion sings The joy that from Thy presence springs; To spend one day with Thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place Within Thine house, O God of grace, Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave Thy door. 3 God is our sun, He makes our day; God is our shield, He guards our way From all the assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. 4 All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too; He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls. 5 O God our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heaven obey, And devils at Thy presence flee, Blest is the man that trusts in Thee.

O God, Thou Bottomless Abyss

Author: Ernst Lange; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, Thou bottomless abyss! Thee to perfection who can know? O height immense! What words suffice Thy countless attributes to show? 2. Unfathomable depths Thou art; O plunge me in Thy mercy’s sea! Void of true wisdom is my heart; With love embrace and cover me: 3. While Thee, all-infinite, I set By faith before my ravished eye, My weakness bends beneath the weight; O’erpowered I sink, I faint, I die. 4. Eternity Thy fountain was, Which, like Thee, no beginning knew; Thou wast ere time began his race, Ere glowed with stars the ethereal blue. 5. Greatness unspeakable is Thine, Greatness, whose undiminished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and Heaven are fled away. 6. Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life’s unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by Thy Word; It lives, and moves, and is from Thee. 7. Thy parent-hand, Thy forming skill, Firm fixed this universal chain; Else empty, barren darkness still Had held his unmolested reign. 8. Whate’er in earth, or sea, or sky, Or shuns or meets the wandering thought, Escapes or strikes the searching eye, By Thee was to perfection brought. 9. High is Thy power above all height, Whate’er Thy will decrees is done; Thy wisdom, equal to Thy might, Only to Thee, O God, is known! 10. Heaven’s glory is Thy awful throne, Yet earth partakes Thy gracious sway: Vain man! Thy wisdom folly own, Lost is thy reason’s feeble ray. 11. What our dim eye could never see, Is plain and naked to Thy sight; What thickest darkness veils, to Thee Shines clearly as the morning light. 12. In light Thou dwell’st; light that no shade, No variation, ever knew; Heaven, earth, and hell, stand all displayed, And open to Thy piercing view.
