If Providence, to try my heart
Our God, we know your providence
Author: Wesley Milgate, 1916- Hymnal: Together in Song #169 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Providence Scripture: Colossians 2:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BILLING
Our God, we know your providence
The Glory of God in Creaton and Providence
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #186b (1740) Topics: Praise for creation and providence; Providence in Air, Earth and Sea; Works of creation and providence First Line: My Soul thy great Creator praise Lyrics: 1 My Soul, thy great Creator praise;
When cloth'd in his celestial Rays
He in full Majesty appears
And, like a Robe his Glory wears.
2 The Heav'ns are for his Curtains spread,
Th' unfathomed Deep he makes his Bed;
Clouds are his Chariot when he flies
On winged Storms across the Skies.
3 Angels, whom his own Breath inspires,
His Ministers, are flaming Fires;
And swift as Thought their Armies move,
To bear his Vengeance or his Love.
4 The World's Foundations by his Hand
Are pois'd, and shall for ever stand;
He binds the Ocean in his Chain,
Lest it should drown the Earth again.
5 When Earth was cover'd with the Flood,
Which high above the Mountains stood,
He thunder'd, and the Ocean fled,
Confin'd to its appointed Bed.
6 The swelling Billows know their Bound,
And in their Channels walk their Round;
Yet thence convey'd by secret Veins,
They spring on Hills and drench the Plains.
7 He bids the Crystal Fountains flow;
And chear the Vallies as they go;
Tame Heifers there their Thirst allay,
And for the Stream wild Asses bray.
8 From pleasant Trees which shade the Brink,
The Lark and Linnet light to drink
Their Songs the Lark and Linnet raise,
And chide our Silence in his Praise.
Pause I
9 GOD from his cloudy Cistern pours
On the parch'd Earth enriching Show'rs:
The Grove, the Garden, and the Field,
A Thousand joyful Blessings yield.
10 He makes the grassy Food arise,
And gives the Cattle large Supplies:
With Herbs for Man, of various Pow'r,
To nourish Nature, or to cure.
11 What noble Fruit the Vines produce!
The Olive yields a shining juice;
Our Hearts are cheer'd with gen'rous Wine,
With inward Joy our Faces shine.
12 O bless his Name, ye Britons, fed
With Nature's chief Supporter, Bread;
While Bread your vital Strength imparts,
Serve him with Vigour in your Hearts.
Pause II
13 Behold the stately Cedar stands,
Rais'd in the Forest by his Hands;
Birds to the Boughs for Shelter fly,
And build their Nests secure on high.
14 To craggy Hill ascends the Goat;
And at the airy Mountain's Foot
The feebler Creatures make their Cell;
He gives them Wisdom where to dwell.
15 He sets the Sun his circling Race,
Appoints the Moon to change her Face;
And when thick Darkness veils the Day,
Calls out wild Beasts to hunt their Prey.
16 Fierce Lions lead their Young abroad,
And, roaring, ask their Meat from GOD;
But when the Morning-Beams arise,
The savage Beast to Covert flies.
17 Then Man to daily Labour goes;
The Night was made for his Repose;
Sleep is thy Gift, that sweet Relief
From tiresome Toil and wasting Grief.
18 How strange thy Works! how great thy Skill!
And ev'ry Land thy Riches fill:
Thy Wisdom round the World we see;
This spacious Earth is full of Thee.
19 Nor less thy Glories in the Deep,
Where Fish in Millions swim and creep
With wond'rous Motions, swift or slow,
Still wand'ring in the Paths below.
20 There Ships divide their watry Way,
And Flocks of scaly Monsters play;
There dwells the huge Leviathan,
And foams and sports in Spite of Man.
Pause III
21 Vast are thy Works, Almighty Lord,
All Nature rests upon thy Word,
And the whole Race of Creatures stands,
Waiting their Portion from thy Hands.
22 While each receives his diff'rent Food,
Their chearful Looks pronounce it good:
Eagles and Bears, and Whales and Worms,
Rejoice and praise in diff'rent Forms.
23 But when thy Face is hid, they mourn,
And dying, to their Dust return;
Both Man and Beast their Souls resign;
Life, Breath and Spirit, all is thine.
24 But thou canst breathe on Dust again,
And fill the World with Beasts and Men;
A Word of thy creating Breath
Repairs the Wastes of Time and Death.
25 His Works, the Wonders of his Might,
Are honour'd with his own Delight;
How awful are his glorious Ways!
The Lord is dreadful in his Praise.
26 The Earth stands trembling at thy Stroke,
And at thy Touch the Mountains smoke;
Yet humble Souls may see thy Face,
And tell their Wants to sov'reign grace.
27 In Thee my Hopes and wishes meet,
And make my Meditations sweet;
Thy Praises shall my Breath employ,
Till it expire in endless Joy.
28 While haughty Sinners die accurst,
Their Glory bury'd with their Dust,
I to my GOD, my heav'nly King,
Immortal Hallelujahs sing.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord,
This work belongs to you;
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!
His mercy and his righteousness
Let heav'n and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wondrous name.
His wisdom and almighty word
The heav'nly arches spread,
And by the Spirit of the Lord
Their shining hosts were made.
He bid the liquid waters flow
To their appointed deep;
The flowing seas their limits know,
And their own station keep).
Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand
He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.
He scorns the angry nations' rage,
And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines.

Blest is the nation where the Lord
Hath fixed his gracious throne,
Where he reveals his heav'nly word,
And calls their tribes his own.
His eye with infinite survey
Does the whole world behold;
He formed us all of equal clay,
And knows our feeble mold.
Kings are not rescued by the force
Of armies from the grave;
Nor speed nor courage of a horse
Can the bold rider save.
Vain is the strength of beasts or men,
To hope for safety thence;
But holy souls from God obtain
A strong and sure defence.
God is their fear, and God their trust;
When plagues or famine spread,
His watchful eye secures the just
Among ten thousand dead.
Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice,
And bless us from thy throne;
For we have made thy word our choice,
And trust thy grace alone.

Ye holy souls, in God rejoice,
Your Maker's praise becomes your voice;
Great is your theme, your songs be new:
Sing of his name, his word, his ways,
His works of nature and of grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!
Justice and truth he ever loves,
And the whole earth his goodness proves,
His word the heav'nly arches spread:
How wide they shine from north to south!
And by the spirit of his mouth
Were all the starry armies made.
He gathers the wide-flowing seas
(Those wat'ry treasures know their place)
In the vast storehouse of the deep:
He spake, and gave all nature birth;
And fires, and seas, and heav'n, and earth,
His everlasting orders keep.
Let mortals tremble and adore
A God of such resistless power,
Nor dare indulge their feeble rage:
Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands;
But his eternal counsel stands,
And rules the world from age to age.

O happy nation, where the Lord
Reveals the treasure of his word,
And builds his church, his earthly throne!
His eye the heathen world surveys,
He formed their hearts, he knows their ways;
But God their Maker is unknown.
Let kings rely upon their host,
And of his strength the champion boast;
In vain they boast, in vain rely;
In vain we trust the brutal force,
Or speed, or courage, of a horse,
To guard his rider or to fly.
The eye of thy compassion, Lord,
Doth more secure defence afford
When death or dangers threat'ning stand:
Thy watchful eye preserves the just,
Who make thy name their fear and trust,
When wars or famine waste the land.
In sickness, or the bloody field,
Thou our physician, thou our shield,
Send us salvation from thy throne:
We wait to see thy goodness shine;
Let us rejoice in help divine,
For all our hope is God alone.
