The glory of God

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #17 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Ye sons of men, in sacred lays Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in sacred lays, Attempt the great Creator's praise; But who an equal song can frame? What verse can reach the lofty theme? 2 He sits enthron'd amidst the spheres, And glory like a garment wears; While boundless wisdom, pow'r, and grace, Command our awe, transcend our praise. 3 Before his throne a shining band Of cherubs and of seraphs stand; Ethereal spirits, who in flight Outstrip the rapid speed of light. 4 To God all nature owes its birth, He form'd this pond'rous globe of earth, He raised the glorious arch on high, And measur'd out the azure sky. 5 In all our Maker's grand designs, Omnipotence with wisdom shines. His works, through all this wondrous frame, Bear the great impress of his name. 6 Rais'd on devotion's lofty wing, Let us his high perfections sing: O let his praise employ our tongue, Whilst list'ning worlds applaud the song!

Thy favor only makes us blest; Without thee all would nothing prove. 5 Worship to thee alone belongs: Worship to thee alone we give; Thine be our hearts, and thine our songs, And to thy glory we would live. 6 Spread thy great name through heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Subdue the world to thy commands, And reign as thou art, God alone.

To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men th'immortal King compare! 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold, and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heavens; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore: More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight him more.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #6 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 All-pow'rful, self-existent God, Who all creation dost sustain! Thou wast, and art, and art to come; And everlasting is thy reign. 2 Fix'd and eternal as thy days, Each glorious attribute divine, Thro' ages infinite, shall still With undiminished lustre shine. 3 Fountain of being! source of good! Immutable dost thou remain; Nor can the shadow of a change Obscure the glories of thy reign. 4 Nature her order shall reverse, Revolving seasons cease their round; Nor spring appear with blooming pride, Nor autumn be with plenty crown'd: 5 Yon shining orbs forget their course; The sun his destin'd path forsake; And burning desolaton mark Amid the world his wand'ring track. 6 Earth may with all her pow'rs dissolve, If such the great Creator's will; But thou for ever art the same; "I am" is thy memorial still.

God supreme and self-sufficient

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #2 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: What is our God, or what his name Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; He dwells conceal'd in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach. 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, Compar'd with him, how short they fall! They are too dark, and he too bright; Nothing are they, and God is all. 3 He spoke that wondrous word, and lo! Creation arose at his command: Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, Bound in the hollow of his hand. 4 There rests the earth, there roll the spheres, There nature leans, and feels her prop: But his own self-sufficience bears The weight of his own glories up. 5 The tide of creatures ebbs and flows, Measuring their changes by the moon: No ebb his sea of glory knows: His age is one eternal noon. 6 Then fly, my song, an endless round, The lofty tune let Gabriel raise, All nature dwell upon the sound, But we can ne'er fulfil the praise.

To Thee there’s nothing old appears, Great God! there’s nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Languages: English

In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear. The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.
