Greatest of beings, source of life

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #67 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Greatest of beings, source of life, Sov'reign of air, and earth, and sea! All nature feels thy pow'r; but man A grateful tribute pays to thee. 2 Subject to wants, to thee he looks, And from thy goodness seeks supplies; And, when oppress'd with guilt, he mourns Thy mercy lifts him to the skies. 3 Children, whose little minds, unform'd, Ne'er rais'd a tender thought to heav'n; And men, whom reason lifts to God, Tho' oft by passion downward driv'n; 4 Those, too, who bend with age and care, And faint and tremble near the tomb, Who, sick'ning at the present scenes, Sigh for that better state to come: 5 All, great Creator! all are thine; All feel thy providential care; And thro' each varying scene of life, Alike thy constant pity share. 6 And, whether grief oppress the heart, Or whether to elate the breast, Or life still keep its little course, Or death invite the heart to rest: 7 All are thy messengers, and all Thy sacred pleasure, Lord, obey; And all are training man to dwell Nearer to bliss, and nearer thee.

Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #71 (1886) Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In psalms of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies, Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouth with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord; How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the soul he loves. Tune Title: ZERAH

Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #72 (1886) Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea; Thy paths I cannot trace, Nor comprehend the mystery Of thine unbounded grace. 2 As through a glass I dimly see The wonders of thy love, How little do I know of thee, Or of the joys above! 3 'Tis but in part I know thy will; I bless thee for the sight: When will thy love the rest reveal In glory's clearer light? 4 With rapture shall I then survey Thy providence and grace, And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise. Tune Title: ZERAH

They, that have made their refuge God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #77 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 They, that have made their refuge God, Shall find a most secure abode, Shall walk all day beneath his shade, And there at night shall rest their head. 2 If burning beams of noon conspire To dart a pestilential fire: God is their life; his wings are spread To shield them 'midst ten thousand dead. 3 If vapours with malignant breath Rise thick, and scatter midnight death: Still they are safe; the poison'd air Again grows pure, if God be there. 4 But if the fire, or plague, or sword, Receive commission from the Lord, To strike his saints among the rest: Their very pains and deaths are blest. 5 The sword, the pestilence, or fire, Shall but fulfil their best desire; From sins and sorrows set them free, And bring thy children, Lord! to thee.

Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #88 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears; Be mercy all your theme; Mercy, which like a river flows In one continued stream. 2 Fear not the pow'rs of earth and hell: God will these pow'rs restrain; His mighty arm their rage repel, And make their efforts vain. 3 Fear not the want of outward good: He will for his provide, Grant them supplies of daily food, And give them heav'n beside. 4 Fear not, that he will e'er forsake, Or leave his work undone: He's faithful to his promises, And faithful to his Son. 5 Fear not the terrors of the grave, Nor death's tremendous sting: He will from endless wrath preserve, To endless glory bring. 6 You in his wisdom, pow'r, and grace, May confidently trust: His wisdom guides, his pow'r protects, His grace rewards the just.
