God of the Seas, thy thund'ring Voice

Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Dominion of God over the Sea; Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 God of the Seas, thy thund'ring Voice Makes all the roaring Waves rejoice, And one soft Word of thy Command, Can sink them silent in the Sand. 2 If but a Moses, wave thy Rod, The Sea divides, and owns its God; The stormy Floods their Maker knew, And let his chosen Armies through. 3 The scaly Flocks amidst the Sea, To Thee, their Lord, a Tribute pay; The meanest Fish that swims the Flood Leaps up, and means a Praise to God. [4 The larger Monsters of the Deep On thy Commands Attendance keep; By thy Permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming Way. 5 If God his Voice of Tempest rears, Leviathan lies still, and fears; Anon he lifts his Nostrils high, And spouts the Ocean to the Sky.] 6 How is thy glorious Pow'r ador'd Amidst these wat'ry Nations, Lord? Yet the bold Men that trace the Seas, Bold Men, refuse their Maker's Praise. [7 What Scenes of Miracles they see, And never tune a Song to Thee! While on the Flood they safely ride, They curse the Hand that smooths the Tide. 8 Anon they plunge in wat'ry Graves, And some drink Death among the Waves; Yet the surviving Crew blaspheme, Nor own the God that rescu'd them.] 9 O for some Signal of thine Hand! Shake all the Seas, Lord, shake the Land; Great Judge descend, lest Men deny That there's a God that rules the Sky.

Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams

Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: God the Son Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on the waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on His head! How hard was His pillow! how humble His bed! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed their Master with solemn delight. 3 O garden of Olivet, thou dear honored spot, The fame of thy wonder shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above; The triumph of sorrow--the triumph of love. 4 Come, saints and adore Him; come, bow at His feet! Oh, give Him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasingly arise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

Or who among the mighty shares The likeness that Jehovah bears. 6 With fear and reverence at His feet God's holy ones in council meet; Yea, more than all about His throne Must He be feared, and He alone. 7 O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines. 8 The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. 9 The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein, are Thine; The whole creation's wondrous frame Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name.

Great God of wonders! all thy ways

Meter: Irregular Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love; The pardoning God Lyrics: 1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways Are matchless, godlike, and divine; But thy fair glories of thy grace, More godlike and unrivall'd shine: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 2 Crimes of such horror to forgive, Such guilty daring worms to spare; This is thy grand prerogative, And none shall in the honour share: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Angels and men resign their claim To pity, mercy, love, and grace, These glories crown Jehovah's name With an incomparable blaze: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy, We take the pardon of our God, Pardon for crimes of deepest dye; A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 5 O may this strange, this matchless grace, This godlike miracle of love, Teach mortal tongues, like those above, Fill the wide earth with grateful praise, Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Scripture: Micah 7:18
