Great God, to thee my voice I raise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HV (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Great God, to thee my voice I raise, To thee my youngest hours belong: I would begin my life with praise, Till growing years improve the song. ’Tis to thy sovereign grace I owe That I was born on Christian ground; Where streams of heavenly mercy flow, And words of sweet salvation sound. 34 I would not change my native land For rich Peru, with all her gold: A nobler prize lies in my hand Than east or western Indies hold. How do I pity those that dwell Where ignorance and darkness reign! They know no heaven—they fear no hell— That endless joy—that endless pain. Thy glorious promises, O Lord, Kindle my hopes and my desire: While all the preachers of thy word Warn me t’ escape eternal fire. Thy praise shall still employ my breath, Since thou hast mark’d my way to heaven, Nor will I run the road to death, And waste the blessings thou hast given. Languages: English

Great God, with wonder and with praise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HVII (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Great God, with wonder and with praise On all thy works I look: But still thy wisdom, power, and grace Shine brighter in thy Book. The stars that in their courses roll Have much instruction given; But thy good Word informs my soul How I may climb to heaven. The fields provide me food, and show The goodness of the Lord; But fruits of life and glory grow In thy most holy Word. 38 Here are my choicest treasures hid; Here my best comfort lies; Here my desires are satisfied; And hence my joys arise. Lord, make me understand thy law: Show what my faults have been; And from thy Gospel let me draw Pardon for all my sin. Here would I learn how Christ has died To save my soul from hell: Not all the books on earth beside Such heavenly wonders tell. Then let me love my Bible more; And take a fresh delight By day to read these wonders o’er, And meditate by night. Languages: English

Genesis 1: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R1 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear Lyrics: Let heav’n arise, let earth appear, said the Almighty Lord: The heav’n arose, the earth appeared, at his creating word. Thick darkness brooded o’er the deep: God said, ‘Let there be light:’ The light shone forth with smiling ray, and scattered ancient night. He bade the clouds ascend on high; the clouds ascend, and bear A wat’ry treasure to the sky, and float upon the air. The liquid element below was gathered by his hand; The rolling seas together flow, and leave the solid land. With herbs, and plants, and fruitful trees, the new-formed globe he crowned, Ere there was rain to bless the soil, or sun to warm the ground. Then high in heav’n’s resplendent arch he placed two orbs of light, He set the sun to rule the day, the moon to rule the night. Next, from the deep, th’ Almighty King did vital beings frame; Fowls of the air of every wing, and fish of every name. To all the various brutal tribes he gave their wondrous birth; At once the lion and the worm sprung from the teeming earth. Then, chief o’er all his works below, at last was Adam made; His Maker’s image blessed his soul, and glory crowned his head. Fair in th’ Almighty Maker’s eye the whole creation stood. He viewed the fabric he had raised; his word pronounced it good. Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English

Genesis 28:20-22: O God of Bethel! by whose hand

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R2 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O God of Bethel! by whose hand Lyrics: O God of Bethel! by whose hand thy people still are fed; Who through this weary pilgrimage hast all our fathers led: Our vows, our prayers, we now present before thy throne of grace: God of our fathers! be the God of their succeeding race. Through each perplexing path of life our wand’ring footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, and raiment fit provide. O spread thy cov’ring wings around, till all our wand’rings cease, And at our Father’s loved abode our souls arrive in peace. Such blessings from thy gracious hand our humble pray’rs implore; And thou shalt be our chosen God, and portion evermore. Scripture: Genesis 28:20-22 Languages: English
