Great God! we sing that mighty Hand

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 490 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty Hand, By which supported still we stand: The opening year Thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it, till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. 3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And peaceful, leave before Thy feet. 4 In scenes exalted or deprest, Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days. 5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues; Our Helper God, in whom we trust, In better worlds our souls shall boast.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 782 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. 2 The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand. 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball, What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands

Author: Charles Haddon Spurgeon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Amidst us our Belovèd stands, and bids us view his piercèd hands; points to the wounded feet and side, blest emblems of the Crucified. 2 When at his table sits the Lord, what gen'rous food adorns his board; when Jesus deigns his guests to meet, the wine how rich, the bread how sweet! 3 If now, with eyes defiled and dim, we see the signs, but see not him; O may His love the scales displace, and bid us see him face to face! 4 Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, thy present smile a heav’n imparts! O lift the veil, if veil there be, let ev'ry saint your glory see! Scripture: Acts 9:18 Used With Tune: ANGELS' SONG
