From All That Dwell Below the Skies
O worship the King, all glorious above
Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,146 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:6-7 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above;
O gratefully sing his power and his love;
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
his chariots of wrath the deep thunder clouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
*3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old;
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
6 O measureless might, ineffable love,
while angels delight to hymn thee above,
thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Topics: Proper 24 Year B; Creation Used With Tune: HANOVER
O worship the King, all glorious above
The Spacious Firmament on High
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 787 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heavens, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The 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 the dark terrestrial ball,
what though no real voice nor sound,
amid their radiant orbs be found;
in reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice;
for ever singing as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine." Topics: Creation; Creation Used With Tune: CREATION

Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending

Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment! Come to judgment!
Come to judgment, come away!
4 Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the day of God appear!
5 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
O come quickly; O come quickly;
Alleluia! come, Lord, come.

Author: Maltbie Davenport Babcock, 1858-10-1; Mary Babcock Crawford, 1909- Appears in 318 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:7-15 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and 'round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.

the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world:
he shines in all that’s fair;
in the rustling grass I hear him pass,
he speaks to me ev'rywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world:
O let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong
God is our Father yet.
He trusts us with his world,
to keep it clean and fair,
the earth and trees, all skies and seas,
all creatures ev'rywhere.
God reigns; Let earth be glad! Topics: Ecology; Morning; Nature; Providence; Revelation; Stewardship Used With Tune: MERCER STREET
