God is a name my soul adores
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:1-4 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores,
the almighty Three, the eternal One;
nature and grace with all their powers
confess the infinite unknown.
2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres,
bade the waves roar, the planets shine;
but nothing like thyself appears
through all these spacious works of thine.
3 Still restless nature dies and grows;
from change to change the creatures run:
thy being no succession knows,
and all thy vast designs are one.
4 A glance of thine runs through the globe.
rules the bright worlds and moves their frame;
of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe.
thy ministers are living flame.
5 How shall polluted mortals dare
to sing thy glory or thy grace?
Beneath thy feet we lie afar,
and see but shadows of thy face.
6 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but thy wisdom knows thy might,
none but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: BRESLAU

In spring's bright raiment clad!

For Thy great love and power,
And greet Thee for Thy loveliness
Expressed in leaf and flower.

Renewed these spring-tide days;
And so reflect Thee in each hour
That all shall give Thee praise.
4 Still let new life and strength upspring,
Still let new joy be given;
And grant the glad new song to ring
Throughout the earth and heaven.

of glorious angels ever stand;
bright things they see, sweet harps they hold,
and on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around him, ready still
to sing his praise and do his will;
and some, when he commands them, go
to guard his servants here below.
3 Lord, give thy angels ev'ry day
command to guide us on our way,
and bid them ev'ry evening keep
their watch around us while we sleep.
4 So shall no wicked thing draw near,
to do us harm or cause us fear;
and we shall dwell, when life is past,
with angels round thy throne at last. Topics: Protection; Redemption and Salvation; The Pilgrim Community; Year B Christ the King; Year B Epiphany 2; Year B Proper 24; Year C Second Sunday Before Lent; Years A, B, and C Ascension Day Used With Tune: SOLOTHURN

Eternal Power, Almighty God
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:2 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, Almighty God,
Who can approach thy throne?
Accessless light is thine abode,
To angel eyes unknown.
2 Before the radiance of thine eye,
The heavens no longer shine;
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine.
3 Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below?
To this dark world thy notice bend--
These seats of sin and woe?
4 How strange, how wondrous is thy love!
With trembling we adore:
Not all th' exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore.
5 While golden harps and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays,
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and speak thy praise. Topics: Attributes of God Condescension ; Condescension of God

O God Beyond All Praising
Author: Michaal Perry, 1942-1996 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end.
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your Word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
2 The flower of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
its fragile bloom surrender
to you, the Lord most high;
but hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown
though small in mortal stature,
to heaven's garden grown:
for Christ, your gift from heaven,
from death has set us free,
and we through him are given
the final victory.
3 Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our King;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise. Topics: Praise of Christ; Praise of God; Elements of Worship Praise and Adoration Used With Tune: THAXTED
