Appears in 151 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Give Thanks to GOD most high, The universal Lord; The sov'reign King of Kings; And be his Grace ador'd. His Pow'r and Grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless Praise. 2 How mighty is his Hand! What Wonders hath he done! He form'd the Earth and Seas, And spread the Heav'ns alone. Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word. 3 His Wisdom fram'd the Sun To crown the Day with Light; The Moon and twinkling Stars To chear the darksome Night. His Pow'r and Grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless Praise. 4 [He smote the first-born Sons, The Flow'r of Egypt, dead; And thence his chosen Tribes With Joy and Glory led. Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word. 5 His Pow'r and lifted Rod Cleft the Red-Sea in two; And for his People made A wond'rous Passage through. His Pow'r and Grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless Praise. 6 But cruel Pharaoh there, With all his Host he drown'd; And brought his Isr'el safe Through a long desart Ground. Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word.] Pause. 7 The Kings of Canaan fell Beneath his dreadful Hand; While his own Servants took Possession of their Land. His Pow'r and Grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless Praise. 8 He saw the Nations lie All perishing in Sin, And pity'd the sad State The ruin'd World was in. Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word. 9 He sent his only Son To save us from our Woe, From Satan, Sin and Death, And every hurtful Foe. His Pow'r and Grace Are still the same; And let his Name Have endless Praise. 10 Give Thanks aloud to GOD, To GOD the heav'nly King; And let the spacious Earth His Works and Glories sing. Thy Mercy, Lord, Shall still endure; And ever sure Abides thy Word. Scripture: Psalm 136

Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord

Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord, From distant Worlds where Creatures dwell; Let Heav'n begin the solemn Word, And sound it dreadful down to Hell. 2 The Lord! how absolute he reigns! Let ev'ry Angel bend the Knee; Sing of his Love in heav'nly Strains, And speak how fierce his Terrors be. 3 High on a Throne his Glories dwell, An awful Throne of shining Bliss: Fly through the World, O Sun, and tell How dark thy Beams compar'd to his. 4 Awake ye Tempests, and his Fame In Sounds of dreadful Praise declare; And the sweet Whisper of his Name Fill ev'ry gentler Breeze of Air. 5 Let Clouds, and Winds, and Waves agree To join their Praise, with blazing Fire; Let the firm Earth and rolling Sea In this eternal song conspire. 6 Ye flow'ry Plains proclaim his Skill; Vallies lie low before his Eye; And let his Praise from ev'ry Hill Rise tuneful to the neighb'ring Sky. 7 Ye stubborn Oaks, and stately Pines, Bend your high Branches and adore: Praise him, ye Beasts, in diff'rent Strains; The Lamb must bleat, the Lion roar. 8 Birds, ye must make his Praise your Theme, Nature demands a Song from you; While the dumb Fish that cut the Stream Leap up, and mean his Praises too. 9 Mortals, can you refrain your Tongue, When Nature all around you sings? O for a Shout from Old and Young, From humble swains and lofty Kings! 10 Wide as his vast Dominion lies Make the Creator's Name be known; Loud as his Thunder shout his Praise, And sound it lofty as his Throne. 11 Jehovah! 'tis a glorious Word, O may it dwell on ev'ry Tongue! But Saints, who best have known the Lord, Are bound to raise the noblest Song. 12 Speak of the Wonders of that Love, Which Gabriel plays on ev'ry Chord: From all below, and all above, Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 148

Ach! seele, solte dich erfreuen

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Creation Lyrics: 1 Ach! seele, solte dich erfreuen Die schön, heit einer creatur, Da du die segensvolle spur Des holden Schöpfers, des getreuen, Gefunden, und bereits erfahren, Was dessen liebe geben kan? Nein, ihr geschöpf', es geht nicht an Ich kan mit euch mich nicht mehr paaren. 2 Du sonn, die du die welt beluechtest, Und sie mit deinem strahl durchdringst; Du himmel, der du regen bringst, Und unser land mit thau beseuchtest; Was habt ihr, das ich nicht geniesse In dem, den meine seele liebt Und dem mein herze sich ergibet? Wa, das mir nicht aus ihm jestieffel? 3 Dis licht erwecket freud und wonnt, Was finster ist, das mchat es licht, Sein glanz erleuctet mein gesicht: Er ist die wahre segens-sonne; Der regen, der mein herz bentzet; Und dessn dürre fruchthar macht; Die morgen-röth, so mcih anlacht; Der thau, so meine seel ergetzet. 4 Ihr auen und ihr grünen wiesen, Ist gleich eu'r anblick noch so schön, Doch muß mein herz viel höher gehn, Und sich zu seiner lust erkiesen Den schöpfer selbst, der ewig währet, Und der zwar allhier gesangen liegt, Doch letzt in seinen ursprung kehret. 5 Ihr schaafe, die ihr in dem grünen Bey weid und bächlein euch ergetzt, Und euch mit eurem hirten letzt, Ihr könnt mir zwar zum vorbild dienen: Doch dieses muß ich frey bekennen, Nur eines ist mein trautes Lamm, Das selbst aus liebe zu mir kam, Nur einer ist mein hirt zu nenne. 6 Ihr vögel auf den grünen zweigen, Besinget eures schöpfers ehr; Doch geb ich euch nicht mehr gebör, Wenn ihr mich wollt von dem abneigen, Den sich mein herz hat auserlesen: Ich selbsten bin ein täubelein, Und fliehte in den felsen ein, Wenn ich in sturm und not gewesen. 7 Ihr flüsse, ströme, bäum und wälder, Und was in euch nur lebt und webt, Die ihr den menschen nahrung gebt, Du luts-revier der grünen felder! Ihr müßt doch meinem liebste weichen, Der nahrung, lust und schatten giebt, Und sich so täg, als stündlich übt, Zu mehren seiner liebe zeichen. 8 Du runder ball der weiten erden, Du schön gezierts firmament, Und was man creaturen nennt, Ihr könnt mir zwar zum lehre werden, Der mich zu meinem schöpfer leitet; Ach! denk ich, seyd ihr hier so schön, Wie muð der schönste nicht ausfehn, Der euch gemacht und zubereitet? 9 Drum fahret fort, den hoch zu preisen, Von dem ihr euren ursprung zieht, Darneben seyd auch stets bemüht, Zu meinem Bräut'gam hinzuweisen Die menschen, die sich leicht vergaffen In euer schönheit, die vergeht, Und nur auf eine zeit bestebt: Dis ists, was ihr hier sollet schaffen. 10 Mich aber lasset unbezwungen, Ich hab was höher schon erkant; Mein Freund wird weiß und roth genannt. Zu ihm allein werd ich gedrungen, Dem schönsten aus den menschen-kindern, Der schon mein ganzes herz besitzt, Und es mir seiner stamm erhitzt: Nichts soll die liebe zu ihm mindern. W
