Heavenly Father, Sovereign Lord

Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: Charles Wesley's version: 1. Heavenly Father, sovereign Lord, Ever faithful to Thy word, Humbly we our seal set to, Testify that Thou art true. Lo! for us the wilds are glad, All in cheerful green arrayed, Opening sweets they all disclose, Bud and blossom as the rose. 2. Hark! the wastes have found a voice, Lonely deserts now rejoice, Gladsome hallelujahs sing, All around with praises ring. Lo! abundantly they bloom, Lebanon is hither come, Carmel’s stores the heavens dispense, Sharon’s fertile excellence. 3. See, these barren souls of ours Bloom, and put forth fruits and flowers, Flowers of Eden, fruits of grace, Peace, and joy, and righteousness. We behold (the abjects we!) Christ, the incarnate Deity, Christ, in whom Thy glories shine, Excellence of strength divine. 4. Ye that tremble at his frown, He shall lift your hands cast down; Christ, who all your weakness sees, He shall prop your feeble knees. Ye of fearful hearts, be strong; Jesus will not tarry long; Fear not lest his truth should fail, Jesus is unchangeable. 5. God, your God, shall surely come, Quell your foes, and seal their doom, He shall come and save you too; We, O Lord, have found thee true! Blind we were, but now we see, Deal; we hearken now to thee, Dumb, for thee our tongues employ, Lame, and, lo! we leap for joy. 6. Faint we were, and parched with drought, Water at Thy word gushed out, Streams of grace our thirst repress, Starting from the wilderness; Still we gasp Thy grace to know, Here for ever let it flow, Make the thirsty land a pool; Fix the Spirit in our soul. Benjamin Williams' version, alt. 1. Heavenly Father, sovereign Lord, Be Thy glorious name adored! Lord, Thy mercies never fail; Hail, celestial Goodness, hail! 2. Though unworthy of Thine ear, Deign our humble songs to hear; Purer praise we hope to bring, When around Thy throne we sing. 3. While on earth ordained to stay, Guide our footsteps in Thy way, Till we come to dwell with Thee, Till we all Thy glory see. 4. When, with angel harps again, We will wake a nobler strain; There, in joyful songs of praise, Our triumphant songs we raise. Original version (omitting repetitions): 1. Grateful notes and numbers bring; While Jehovah’s praise we sing: Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Be Thy glorious name adored. 2. Men on earth, and saints above, Sing the great Redeemer’s love: Lord, Thy mercies never fail! Hail, celestial goodness, hail! 3. Though unworthy, Lord, Thine ear, Our humble hallelujahs hear; Purer praise hope to bring When with saints we stand and sing. 4. Lead us to that blissful state, Where Thou reignest supremely great; Look with pity from Thy throne, And send Thy Holy Spirit down. 5. While on earth ordained to stay Guide our footsteps in Thy way; Till we come to reign with Thee, And all Thy glorious greatness see. 6. Then with angels we’ll again Wake a louder, louder strain; There, in joyful songs of praise, We’ll our grateful voices raise. 7. There no tongue shall silent be: There all shall join sweet harmony; That through Heaven’s all spacious round, Thy praise, O God, may ever sound! Original version: Grateful notes and numbers bring; While Jehovah’s praise we sing: Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Be Thy glorious name adored.

Eternal Sovereign Of The Sky

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal sovereign of the sky, And Lord of all below; We mortals to Thy majesty Our first obedience owe. 2 Our souls adore Thy throne supreme, And bless Thy providence, For magistrates of meaner name, Our glory and defense. 3 The crowns of British princes shine With rays above the rest, Where laws and liberties combine To make the nation blessed. 4 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand, While virtue finds reward; And sinners perish from the land By justice and the sword. 5 Let Cæsar’s due be ever paid To Cæsar and his throne; But consciences and souls were made To be the Lord’s alone.

Maker And Sovereign Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker and sovereign Lord Of Heav’n, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms Thy Word, And answers Thy decrees. 2 The things so long foretold By David are fulfilled, When Jews and Gentiles joined to slay Jesus, Thine holy Child. 3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord, Bend all their counsels to destroy Th’Anointed of the Lord? 4 Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite Against His Christ they join. 5 The Lord derides their rage, And will support His throne; He that hath raised Him from the dead Hath owned Him for His Son. 6 Now He’s ascended high, And asks to rule the earth; The merit of His blood He pleads, And pleads His heav’nly birth. 7 He asks, and God bestows A large inheritance; Far as the world’s remotest ends His kingdom shall advance. 8 The nations that rebel Must feel His iron rod; He’ll vindicate those honors well Which He received from God. 9 Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at His throne; With trembling joy, ye people, bow To God’s exalted Son. 10 If once His wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessèd is the soul that flies For refuge to His grace.

Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord; His mercies still endure; And be the King of kings adored; His truth is ever sure. What wonders hath his wisdom done! How mighty is his hand! Heav'n, earth, and sea, he framed alone; How wide is his command The sun supplies the day with light; How bright his counsels shine! The moon and stars adorn the night; His works are all divine. [He struck the sons of Egypt dead; How dreadful is his rod! And thence with joy his people led; How gracious is our God! He cleft the swelling sea in two; His arm is great in might; And gave the tribes a passage through; His power and grace unite. But Pharaoh's army there he drowned; How glorious are his ways! And brought his saints through desert ground; Eternal be his praise! Great monarchs fell beneath his hand; Victorious is his sword; While Isr'el took the promised land; And faithful is his word.] He saw the nations dead in sin; He felt his pity move: How sad the state the world was in! How boundless was his love! He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death, and hell, and every foe; And still his grace prevails. Give thanks to God the heav'nly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth his praises sing; His truth is ever sure. The Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, 1806
