Hymn 46 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:22 First Line: Father, how wide thy glories shine! Lyrics: Father, how wide thy glories shine! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power, Their motions speak thy skill, And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. But when we view thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Our souls are filled with awe divine To see what God performs. When sinners break the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; O the dear myst'ries of his cross, The triumph of his groans Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heav'nly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high, where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.

Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:20-21 First Line: The Deluge, at th' Almighty's Call Lyrics: 1 The Deluge, at th' Almighty's Call, In what impetuous Streams it fell! Swallow'd the Mountains in its Rage, And swept a guilty World to Hell. 2 In vain the tallest Sons of Pride, Fled from the close pursuing Wave; Nor could the mightiest Tow'rs defend, Nor Swiftness 'scape, nor Courage save. 3 How dire the Wreck! how loud the Roar! How shrill the Universal Cry Of Millions in the last Despair, Re-echo'd from the lowering Sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy Saint, Surrounded with the Chosen Few, Sat in his Ark, secure from Fear, And sang the Grace that steer'd him thro'. 5 So I may sing, in JESUS safe, While Storms of Vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my Hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly Ball. 6 Enter thine Ark, while Patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure Retreat: Then the wide Flood, which buries Earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer Seat. 7 Nor Wreck nor Ruin there is seen; There not a Wave of Trouble rolls; But the bright Rainbow round the Throne Seals endless Life to all their Souls.
