Summer and Winter

Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Works of creation and providence; Works of creation and providence First Line: Let Zion praise the mighty God Lyrics: 1 Let Zion praise thy mighty God, And make his honours known abroad; For sweet the joy, our songs to raise, And glorious is the work of praise. 2 Our children live secure and blest; Our shores have peace, our cities rest; He feeds our sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. 3 The changing seasons he ordains, The early and the latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends. 4 With hoary frost he strews the ground: His hail descends with dreadful sound: The icy bands the rivers hold, And terror arms his wintry cold. 5 He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call his people to his praise. 6 Thro' all our realm his laws are shown; His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus reveal'd his word To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147

Universal praise to God

Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Works of creation and providence; Works of creation and providence First Line: Loud hallelujahs to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Loud hallelujahs to the Lord, From distant worlds where creatures dwell; Let heaven begin the solemn word, And sound it dreadful down to hell. 2 The Lord, how absolute he reigns, Let every angel bend the knee; Sing of his love in heavenly 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 every 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 flowery plains, proclaim his skill; Ye vallies sink before his eye; And let his praise from every hill Rise tuneful to the neighbouring sky. 7 Ye stubborn oaks, and stately pines, Bend your high branches and adore: Praise him, ye beasts, in different strains; The lamb must bleat, the lion roar. 8 Ye birds, his praise must be your theme, Who form'd to song your tuneful voice; While the dumb fish that cut the stream In his protecting care rejoice. 9 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, When nature all around you sings? Oh 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! Oh may it dwell on every 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 every chord: From all below and all above, Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 148

My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Works of Providence Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic his state; The light is his garment, the skies are his shade, And over the waters his courts he has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind his mission perform; The earth he has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 He waters the hills with rain from the skies, And plentiful grass and herbs he supplies, Supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil With bread in abundance with wine and with oil. 4 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, And over the earth their branches are spread; They keep in their shelter the birds of the air, The life of each creature the Lord makes his care. 5 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound, The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground; To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might, Let God in his creatures for ever delight. 6 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, While sinners depart in ruin complete; My soul, bless Jehovah, his Name be adored, Come, praise him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: HOUGHTON Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
