Universal praise to God
Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm; Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm 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

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm; Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm First Line: Great is the Lord, exalted high Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high
Above all powers and every throne;
What e'er he please in earth or sea,
Or heaven, or hell, his hand hath done.
2 At his command the vapours rise,
The lightnings flash, the thunders roar;
He pours the rain, he brings the wind
And tempest from his airy store.
3 'Twas he those dreadful tokens sent,
O Egypt, through thy stubborn land;
When all thy first-born, beasts and men,
Fell dead by his avenging hand.
4 What mighty nations, mighty kings,
He slew, and their whole country gave
To Israel, whom his hand redeem'd,
No more to be proud Pharaoh's slave.
5 His power the same, the same his grace,
That saves us from the hosts of hell;
And heaven he gives us to possess,
Whence those apostate angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12

Declares its maker God,
And all the starry works on high
Proclaim his power abroad.
2 The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night
Divinely teach his name.
3 In every different land
Their general voice is known;
They shew the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.
4 Ye christian lands, rejoice,
Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature’s voice
To bid us know the Lord.
5 His statutes and commands
Are set before our eyes,
He puts his gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.
6 His laws are just and pure,
His truth without deceit,
His promises forever sure,
And his rewards are great.
7 [Not honey to the taste
Affords so much delight;
Nor gold that has the furnace pass'd
So much allures the sight.
8 While of thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King,
In my Redeemer’s name.] Scripture: Psalm 19

God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness
Appears in 321 hymnals Topics: Thunder and storm; Thunder and storm First Line: Behold the morning sun Lyrics: 1 Behold the morning sun
Begins his glorious way:
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes
It spreads diviner light,
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgements just,
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!
Pause.
5 I heard thy word with love,
And I would fain obey:
Send thy good spirit from above
To guide me lest I stray.
6 Oh who can ever find
The errors of his ways?
Yet with a bold presumptuous mind
I would not dare transgress.
7 Warn me of every sin,
Forgive my secret faults,
And cleanse this guilty soul of mine,
Whose crimes exceed my thoughts.
8 While with my heart and tongue
I spread thy praise abroad;
Accept the worship and the song,
My Saviour and my God. Scripture: Psalm 19

The Book of Nature and Scripture
Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Thunder and storm; Thunder and storm First Line: Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame Lyrics: 1 Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame
Declares the glories of thy name:
There thy rich works of wonder shine;
A thousand starry beauties there,
A thousand radiant marks appear
Of boundless power, and skill divine.
2 From night to day, from day to night,
The dawning and the dying light,
Lectures of heavenly wisdom read:
With silent eloquence they raise
Our thoughts to our Creator's praise,
And neither sound nor language need.
3 Yet their divine instructions run
Far as the journies of the sun,
And every nation knows their voice:
The sun, like some young bridegroom drest,
Breaks from the chambers of the east,
Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his beams abroad,
He smiles, and speaks his maker God:
All nature joins to shew thy praise:
Thus God in every creature shines;
Fair is the book of nature's lines,
But fairer is thy book of grace.
Pause.
5 I love the volumes of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distrest!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
6 From the discoveries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that hath the furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
7 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes,
And warn me where my danger lies;
But 'tis thy blessed gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty conscience clean,
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free, but large reward.
8 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God, forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain:
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace
And book of nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19

The love of God comes close
They did not build in vain
Author: Alan Luff, 1928- Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Storm Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain
who founded here a church
as witness to God's love
amid a world of pain,
for still, to those who wish to see
this place proclaims God's mystery.
2 They built upon the rock
that is the risen Lord,
the one foundation laid
which stands each earthly shock;
that, Spirit filled, we here might raise,
as living temples, prayer and praise.
3 Those who have loved this place,
a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on
as we now run our race,
and so we lay aside each sin
in our desire to strive and win.
4 Though the horizon's bend
conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road
show Christ waits at the end;
in him alone our faith shall stand
who waits for us at God's right hand.
5 Here is our meeting place
where doubt finds grounds of faith,
where hurt finds healing love,
our penitence your grace;
where bridging time to eternity
is God the holy Trinity. Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Used With Tune: DOLGELLY
They did not build in vain
