The God of Thunder

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: O the immense, th' amazing height Lyrics: 1 O the immense! th' amazing height. The boundless grandeur of a God, Who treads the worlds beneath his feet, And sways the nations with his nod! 2 He speaks; and lo, all nature shakes, Heaven's everlasting pillars bow, He rends the clouds with hideous cracks, And shouts his fiery arrows thro'. 3 Well let the nations start and fly At the blue lightning's horrid glare, Atheists and emperors shrink and die, When flame and noise torment the air. 4 Let noise and flame confound the skies, And drown the spacious realms below, Yet we will sing the thunderer's praise, And send our loud hosannas thro'. 5 Celestial king, thy blazing power Kindles our hearts to flaming joys, We shout to hear thy thunders roar, And echo to our father's voice. 6 Thus shall the God our Savior come, And lightnings round his chariot play, Ye lightnings, fly to make him room, Ye glorious storms prepare his way.

Winter

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXXIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons First Line: See how rude winter's icy hand Lyrics: 1 See, how rude winter’s icy hand Has stripp'd the trees, and seal'd the ground But spring shall soon his rage withstand And spread new beauties all around. 2 My soul a sharper winter mourns, Barren and fruitless I remain; When will the gentle spring return, And bid my graces grow again? 3 Jesus, my glorious sun, arise! ’Tis thine the frozen heart to move; O! hush these storms, and clear my skies, And let me feel thy vital love! 4 Dear Lord, regard my feeble cry, I faint and droop till thou appear; Wilt thou permit thy plant to die; Must it be winter all the year? 5 Be still my soul and wait his hour, With humble prayer and patient faith; Till he reveals his gracious power, Repose on what his promise saith. 6 He by whose all-commanding word, Seasons their changing course maintain; In every change a pledge affords, That none shall seek his face in vain.

Winter

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Stern winter throws his icy chains Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains Encircling nature round; How bleak, how comfortless the plains, Late with gay verdure crown'd! 2 The sun withdraws his vital beams, And light, and warmth depart: And drooping, lifeless nature seems An emblem of my heart. 3 My heart, when mental winter reigns In night's dark mantle clad, Confin'd in cold inactive chains, How desolate and sad! 4 Return, O blissful sun, and bring The soul reviving ray; This mental winter shall be spring, This darkness cheerful day. 5 O happy state, divine abode, Where spring eternal reigns; And perfect day, the smile of God, Fills all the heavenly plains. 6 Great source of light, thy beams display, My drooping joys restore, And guide me to the seats of day, Where winter frowns no more.

On the spring

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXCVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: The icy chains that bound the earth Lyrics: 1 The icy chains that bound the earth Are now dissolv'd wnad gone: Wak'd by the sun the blooming spring Puts his new livery on. 2 Where awful desolation reign'd Bless'd plenty rears her head; Exulting with a smile to see Her late destroyer fled. 3 Teeming with life, th' advancing sun Protracts the falling day; Grand light of heaven! he seems to wish To make a longer stay. 4 In clouds of gold behold him set, Beyond the west he flies; Short is his nightly course, and soon He gildes the eastern skies. 5 My soul, in every scene admire The wisdom and the power: Behold the God in every plant, In every opening flower. 6 Yet his word, the God of grace, Has wrote his fairer name: The wonders of redeeming love My noblest songs shall claim. 7 With warmest beams, thou God of grace Shine on this heart of mine; Turn thou my winter into spring, And be the glory thine.

On a Year of threatening Drought

Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: The spring, great God, at thy command Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at thy command Leads forth the smiling year; Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers T' adorn her reign appear. 2 But soon canst thou in righteous wrath Blast all the promis'd joy, And elements await thy nod To bless or to destroy. 3 The sun, thy minister of love, That from the naked ground Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth, And spreads their beauties round; 4 At the dread order of his God, Now darts destructive fires; Hills, plains, and vales, are parch'd with drought, And blooming life expires. 5 Like burnish'd brass, the heaven around In angry terror burns, While the earth lies a joyless waste, And into iron turns. 6 Pity us, Lord, in our distress, Nor with our land contend; Bid the avenging skies relent, And showers of mercy send.
