The Perfections and Providecn of God; or, General Providence, and Special Grace

Appears in 385 hymnals Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: High in the Heav'ns, eternal GOD Lyrics: 1 High in the Heav'ns, eternal GOD, Thy Goodness in full Glory shines; Thy Truth shall break thro' every Cloud That veils and darkens thy Designs. 2 For ever firm thy Justice stands, As Mountains their Foundations keep; Wise are the Wonders of thy Hands, Thy Judgments are a mighty Deep. 3 Thy Providence is kind and large, Both Man and Beast thy Bounty share; The whole Creation is thy Charge, But Saints are thy peculiar Care. 4 My GOD! how excellent thy Grace, Whence all our Hope and Comfort springs; The Sons of Adam in Distress Fly to the Shadow of thy Wings. 5 From the Provisions of thy House We shall be fed with sweet Repast; There Mercy like a River flows, And brings salvation to our Taste. 6 Life, like a Fountain rich and free, Springs from the Presence of the Lord; And in thy Light our Souls shall see The Glories promis'd in thy Word. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9

Practical Atheism expos'd; or, The Being and Attributes of God asserted

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: While Men grow bold in wicked Ways Lyrics: 1 While Men grow bold in wicked Ways, And yet a GOD they own, My Heart within me often says, "Their Thoughts believe there's none." 2 Their Thoughts and Ways at once declare, (Whate'er their Lips profess) GOD hath no Wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his Grace. 3 What strange Self-flatt'ry blinds their Eyes! But there's a hast'ning Hour, When they shall see with sore Surprize The Terrors of thy Pow'r. 4 Thy Justice shall maintain its Throne, Tho' Mountains melt away; Thy Judgments are a World unknown, A deep, unfathom'd Sea. 5 Above the Heav'n's created Rounds, Thy Mercies, Lord, extend; Thy Truth out-lives the narrow Bounds Where Time and Nature end. 6 Safety to Man thy Goodness brings, Nor overlooks the Beast; Beneath the Shadow of thy Wings Thy Children chuse to rest. 7 [From Thee, when Creature-Streams run low. And mortal Comforts die, Perpetual Springs of Life shall flow, And raise our Pleasures high. 8 Tho' all created Light decay, And Death close up our Eyes, Thy Presence makes eternal Day, Where Clouds can never rise.] Scripture: Psalm 36:1-9

The Wickedness of Man, and the Majesty of God; or, Practical Atheism exposed

Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Persecutions of God First Line: When Man grows bold in Sin Lyrics: 1 When Man grows bold in Sin, My Heart within me cries, "He hath no Faith of God within, Nor Fear before his Eyes." 2 [He walks a-while conceal'd In a Self-flatt'ring Dream, Till his dark Crimes at once reveal'd Expose his hateful Name.] 3 His Heart is false and foul, His Words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banish'd from his Soul, And leaves no Goodness there. 4 He plots upon his Bed New Mischiefs to fulfil He sets his Heart, and Hand, and Head, To practise all that's ill. 5 But there's a dreadful GOD, Tho' Men renounce his Fear; His Justice, hid behind the Cloud, Shall one great Day appear. 6 His Truth transcends the Sky, In Heav'n his Mercies dwell; Deep as the Sea his Judgments lie, His Anger burns to Hell. 7 How excellent his Love, Whence all our Safety springs! O never let my Soul remove From underneath his Wings. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7
