Divine Knowledge from Creation

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Creation Proves the being and perfections of God; Creation Proves the being and perfections of God First Line: The book of nature open lies Lyrics: 1 The book of nature open lies, With much instruction stor'd; But till the LORD anoints our eyes, We cannot read a word. 2 The knowledge of the saints excels The wisdom of the schools; To them his secrets God reveals, Tho' men account them fools. 3 To them the sun and stars on high, The flow'rs that paint the field, And all the artless birds that fly, Divine instruction yield. 4 The creatures on their senses press, As witnesses to prove Their Saviour's pow'r and faithfulness, His providence and love. 5 Thus may we study nature's book, To make us wise indeed! And pity those who only look At what they cannot read.

The Works of Moses and the Lamb

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God First Line: How strong thine Arm is, mighty God! Lyrics: 1 How strong thine Arm is, mighty God! Who would not fear thy Name! Jesus, how sweet thy Graces are! Who would not love the Lamb? 2 He has done more than Moses did Our Prophet and our King; From Bonds of Hell he freed our Souls, And taught our Lips to sing. 3 In the Read-Sea, by Moses' Hand, Th' Egyptian Host was drown'd; But his own Blood hides all our Sins, And Guilt no more is found. 4 When thro' the Desert Israel went, With Manna they were fed: Our Lord invites us to his Flesh, And calls it Living Bread. 5 Moses beheld the promis'd Land, Yet never reached the Place; But Christ shall bring his Followers home, To see his Father's Face. 6 Then shall our Love and Joy be full, And feel a warmer Flame; And sweeter Voices tune the Song Of Moses and the Lamb. Scripture: Revelation 15:3

[3 "Ye that in Shades of Darkness dwell, "Just on the Verge of Death and Hell, "Look up to me from distant Lands; "Light, Life, and Heav'n are in my Hands. 4 "I by my holy Name have sworn, "Nor shall the Word in vain return; "To me shall all Things bend the Knee, "And ev'ry Tongue shall swear to me.] 5 "In me alone shall Men confess "Lies all their Strength and Righteousness; "But such as dare dispise my Name, "I'll clothe them with eternal Shame. 6 "In me the LORD, shall all the Seed "Of Isr'el from their Sins be freed; "And by their shining Graces prove "Their Int'rest in my pard'ning Love." Scripture: Isaiah 45:22-24

God shining into the Heart

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God First Line: Praise to the Lord of the boundless might Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord of boundless Might, With uncreated Glories bright! His Presence gilds the Worlds above; The unchanging Source of Light and Love. 2 Our rising Earth his Eye beheld, When in substantial Darkness veil'd; The shapeless Chaos, Nature's Womb, Lay buried in the horrid Gloom. 3 "Let there be Light," JEHOVAH said And Light o'er all its Face was spread; Nature array'd in Charms unknown, Gay with its New-born Lustre shone. 4 He sees the Mind, when lost it lies In Shades of Ignorance and Vice; And Darts from Heaven a vivid Ray, And changes Midnight into Day. 5 Shine, mighty GOD, with Vigor shine On this benighted Heart of mine; And let thy Glories Stand reveal'd, As in our Saviour's Face beheld. 6 My Soul, reviv'd by Heav'n-born Day, Thy radiant Image shall display, While all my Faculties unite To praise the LORD, who gives me Light. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6

Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love, Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove, And help our misery. 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still; Thou dost with sinners bear; That, sav'd, we may thy goodness feel, And all thy grace declare. 3 Thy goodness and thy truth, to me To ev'ry soul abound; A vast unfathomable sea, Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 4 Its streams the whole creation reach, So plenteous is the store; Enough for all, enough for each, Enough for evermore. 5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are; A rock that cannot move: A thousand promises declare Thy constancy of love. 6 Throughout the universe it reigns, Unalterably sure; And, while the truth of God remains, His goodness must endure.
