Great Ruler of the earth and skies

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:7 Lyrics: 1 Great Ruler of the earth and skies, A word of thine almighty breath Can sink the world, or bid it rise: Thy smile is life, thy frown is death. 2 When angry nations rush to arms, And rage, and noise, and tumult reign, And war resounds its dire alarms, And slaughter dyes the hostile plain-- 3 Thy sov'reign eye looks calmly down, And marks their course, and bounds their power; Thy law the angry nations own, And noise and war are heard no more. 4 Then peace returns with balmy wing;-- Sweet peace, with her what blessings fled! Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing, Reviving commerce lifts her head. 5 To thee we pay our grateful songs; Thy kind protection still implore: Oh, may our hearts, and lives, and tongues Confess thy goodness, and adore.

Now to the power of God supreme

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 Lyrics: Now to the power of God supreme Be everlasting honors giv'n; He saves from hell, (we bless his name,) He calls our wand'ring feet to heav'n. Not for our duties or deserts, But of his own abounding grace, He works salvation in our hearts, And forms a people for his praise. 'Twas his own purpose that begun To rescue rebels doomed to die; He gave us grace in Christ his Son Before he spread the starry sky. Jesus the Lord appears at last, And makes his Father's counsels known; Declares the great transactions past, And brings immortal blessings down. He dies, and in that dreadful night Did all the powers of hell destroy; Rising, he brought our heav'n to light, And took possession of the joy.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.

Great King of Nations, Hear Our Prayer

Author: John H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:2 Lyrics: 1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer While at Thy feet we fall And humbly with united cry To Thee for mercy call. The guilt is ours, but grace is Thine, Oh, turn us not away, But hear us from Thy lofty throne And help us when we pray. 2 Our fathers’ sins were manifold, And ours no less we own; Yet wondrously from age to age Thy goodness has been shown. When dangers, like a stormy sea, Beset our country round, To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried, And help in Thee was found. 3 With one consent we meekly bow Beneath Thy chast'ning hand And, pouring forth confession meet, Mourn with our mourning land. With pitying eye behold our need As thus we lift our prayer; Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord, Then let Thy mercy spare. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons The Nation Used With Tune: OLD 137TH
