Ye sons of men, in sacred lays

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God 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 flgiht 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!

Ye weak inhabitants of clay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Ye weak inhabitants of clay, Ye trifling insects of a day, Low in your native dust bow down Before th' Eternal's awful throne. 2 Let Lebanon her cedars bring, To blaze before the sov'reign King; And all the beasts, that on it feed, As victims at his altar bleed. 3 Loud let ten thousand trumpets sound, And call remotest nations round, Assembled on the crowded plains, Princes and people, kings and swains. 4 Join'd with the living, let the dead, Rising, the face of earth o'erspread; And, while his praise unites their tongues, Let angels echo back the songs. 5. The drop that from the bucket falls, The dust that hangs upon the scales, Is more to sky and earth and sea, Than all this pomp, great God! to thee.

The tender love a father has

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: God Divine Perfections of Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has For all his children dear, Such love the Lord bestows on them Who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, And all our frailty knows; Man's days are like the tender grass, And as the flower he grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind That smites with blighting breath; So man is quickly swept away Before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, From age to age the same, Displayed to all who do his will And reverence his Name. 5 Those who his gracious cov'nant keep The Lord will ever bless; Their children's children shall rejoice To see his righteousness.

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The divine Perfections The Justice of God Lyrics: 1 Great God, to thee, the mighty King, Whose sovereign rule the world obeys, With reverent hearts thy people bring The tribute of their humble praise. 2 The earth's great sceptre fills thy hand; And, high enthron'd in majesty, Thou givest thence to every land The laws of truth and equity. 3 Unerring justice, Lord, is thine; And every nation shall confess, That thy decrees are all divine, And all thy ways are righteousness. 4 In judgment wise, thou wilt bestow To eery soul its due reward; Unceasing joy the good shall know, And live forever with their Lord. 5 But they who tread the sinner's path, And dare thy righteous laws disown, Shall meet with due returns from thee, And reap the fruit which they have sown.
