How cheerful along the gay mead

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings The Beauties of Nature Lyrics: 1 How cheerful along the gay mead The daisies and cowslips appear; The flocks, as they carelessly feed, Rejoice in the spring of the year. 2 The foliage that shades the gay bowers, The herbage that springs from the clod, Trees, plants, cooling fruits, and fair flow'rs, All rise to the praise of our God. 3 Shall man, the great master of all, The only insensible prove? Forbid it fair gratitude's call, Forbid it devotion and love. 4 The God who such wonders can raise, Forever his name be ador'd; Our lips shall incessantly praise, Our heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

Ye bless'd inhabitants of heaven

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Creation, Preservation, and temporal Blessings All Nature invoked to praise the Creator Lyrics: 1 Ye bless'd inhabitants of heaven, To God be all your praises given; O praise him in the realms that lie Above the reach of mortal eye. 2 Praise him, thou sun, that round the pole With restless course art seen to roll; Ye moon and stars, his praise repeat; Praise him, he heav'ns, his awful seat. 3 Nor let the heav'ns his praise confine: O, all ye earth, the chorus join; Ye beasts, that range th' uncultur'd soil, Or patient lend to man your toil. 4 Praise him, each bird that wings the air, Each reptile, nurtur'd by his care; And every wind, and every storm, That duteous his commands perform. 5 Ye youthful bands, and virgin choir, Each lisping babe, and hoary fire, Wake to his name your grateful songs; To him alone all praise belongs. 6 His glory earth's wide bounds o'erflows, Nor highest heav'n its limit knows: O come, your thankful voices raise, And consecrate to him your praise.

God's Faithfulness and Truth

Author: N. Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: The Creation of Man, his Fall, Recovery, etc. First Line: Ye humble saints, proclaim abroad Lyrics: 1 Ye humble saints proclaim abroad The honours of a faithful God, How just and true area all his ways, How much above your highest praise. 2 The words his sacred lips declare Of his own mind the image bear; What should him tempt, from frailty free, Blest in his self-sufficiency? 3 He will not his great self deny: A God all truth can never lie: As well might he his being quit, As breaks his oath, or word forget. 4 Let frighten'd rivers change their course, Or backward hasten to their source; Swift thro' the air let rocks be hurl'd, And mountains like the chaff be whirl'd. 5 Let sun and stars forget to rise, Or quit their stations in the skies; Let heav'n and earth both pass away, Eternal truth shall ne'er decay. 6 True to his word, God gave his Son, To die for crimes which men had done; Blest pledge! He never will revoke A single promise he has spoke. Scripture: Numbers 23:19

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished: a Psalm for New-England

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence First Line: When God provok'd with daring Crimes Lyrics: 1 When God provok'd with daring Crimes, Scourges the Madness of the Times, He turns their Fields to barren Sand, And dries the Rivers from the Land. 2 His Word can raise the Springs again, And make the wither'd Mountains green, Send show'ry Blessings from the Skies, And Harvests in the Desarts rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but Beasts of Prey, Or Men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' Opprest and Poor repair, And builds them Towns and Cities there. 4 They sow the Fields, and Trees they plant, Whose yearly Fruit supplies their Want; Their Race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their Wealth increases with their Flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen Nations in; A savage Crew invades their Lands, Their Princes die by barb'rous Hands. 6 Their captive Sons expos'd to Scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The Country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And Desolation spreads the Field. 7 Yet if the humbled Nation mourns, Again his dreadful Hand he turns; Again he makes their Cities thrive, And bids the dying Churches live.] 8 The Righteous, with a joyful Sense, Admire the Works of Providence; And Tongues of Atheists shall no more Blaspheme the GOD that Saints adore. 9 How few with pious Care record These wond'rous dealings of the Lord; But wise Observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107
