Would you behold the Works of God

Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the Works of God, His Wonders in the World abroad, Go with the Mariners, and trace The unknown Regions of the Seas. 2 They leave their native Shores behind, And seize the Favour of the Wind; Till GOD commands, and Tempests rise That heave the Ocean to the Skies. 3 Now to the Heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful Deeps again; What strange Affrights young Sailors feel, And like a staggering Drunkard reel! 4 When Land is far, and Death is nigh, Lost to all Hope, to GOD they cry; His Mercy hears the loud Address, And sends Salvation in Distress. 5 He bids the Winds their Wrath asswage, The furious Waves forget their Rage; 'Tis calm; and Sailors smile to see The Haven where they wish'd to be. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! Let them their private Off'rings bring, And in the Church his Glory sing.

When God, provok'd with daring crimes

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the wither'd mountains green, Send show'ry blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they; He bids th' opprest and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want: Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. 6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hand he turns, Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] 8 The righteous, with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence, And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wond'rous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Addison Appears in 1,001 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:43 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude
