How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or heav'n was made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Nature and time all open lie To thine immense survey, From the formation of the sky To the last awful day. 4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present to thy view. To Thee there’s nothing old appears, Great God! there’s nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.

God is a Spirit, just and wise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise; He sees our inmost mind. In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear. The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.

God's Mercy great and eternal

If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

And pity those who only look At what they cannot read.

Let age to age thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but not confines His goodness to the skies. Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And ev'ry want supplies. 3 With longing eyes, thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy lib'ral hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord! How slow Thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word, To cheer the souls he loves. 5 Creatures with all their endless race, Thy pow'r and praise proclaim; But saints, who taste thy richer grace, Delight to bless thy name.

His counsels never change the scheme That his first thoughts design'd. 4 When he redeemed the sons of men, He fixed sis cov'nant sure, The orders, that his lips pronounce, To endless years endure. 5 Nature, and time, and earth, and skies, Thy heav'nly skill proclaim.

What verse can reach the lofty theme? 2 He sits enthron'd amidst the spheres, And glory like a garment wears; While boundless wisdom, pow'r, and grace, Command our awe, transcend our praise. 3 Before his throne a shining band Of cherubs and of seraphs stand; Ethereal spirits, who in flgiht Outstrip the rapid speed of light. 4 To God all nature owes its birth, He form'd this pond'rous globe of earth, He raised the glorious arch on high, And measur'd out the azure sky. 5 In all our Maker's grand designs, Omnipotence with wisdom shines. His works, through all this wondrous frame, Bear the great impress of his name. 6 Rais'd on devotion's lofty wing, Let us his high perfections sing: O let his praise employ our tongue, Whilst list'ning worlds applaud the song!

Have restless Sin and raging Hell Struck all our Comforts dead? 2 Have we forgot the Almighty Name That form'd the Earth and Sea? And can an all-creating Arm Grow weary, or decay? 3 Treasures of everlasting Might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the Conquest to the Weak And treads their Foes to Hell. 4 Mere mortal Power shall fade and die, And youthful Vigour cease: But we that wait upon the Lord, Shall feel our Strength increase. 5 The Saints shall mount on eagles Wings, And taste the promis'd Bliss, 'Till their unwearied Feet arrive Where perfect Pleasure is.

All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possest; By none controll'd in thy commands, And in thyself completely blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heav'n and earth due homage pay: All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 In thee, O Lord, our hope shall rest, Fountain of peace and joy and love! Thy favour only makes us blest; Without thee all would nothing prove. 5 Worship to thee alone belongs, Worship to thee alone we give; Thine be our hearts, and thine our songs, And to thy glory we would live. 6 Spread thy great name through heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Subdue the world to thy commands, And reign as thou art, God alone.

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.

Thou wast, and art, and art to come; And everlasting is thy reign. 2 Fix'd and eternal as thy days, Each glorious attribute divine, Thro' ages infinite, shall still With undiminished lustre shine. 3 Fountain of being! source of good! Immutable dost thou remain; Nor can the shadow of a change Obscure the glories of thy reign. 4 Nature her order shall reverse, Revolving seasons cease their round; Nor spring appear with blooming pride, Nor autumn be with plenty crown'd: 5 You shining orbs forget their course; The sun his destin'd path forsake; And burning desolaton mark Amid the world his wand'ring track: 6 Earth may with all her pow'rs dissolve, If such the great Creator's will: But thou for ever art the same; "I am" is thy memorial still.

Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 327 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through, Thine eye commands, with piercing view My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their pow'rs. 2 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit thy service and thy love; Where, Lord, could I thy presence shun. Or from thy dreadful glory run? 3 If, mounted on a morning ray, I fly beyond the western sea; Thy swifter hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy fugitive. 4 Or should I try to shun thy sight Beneath the spreading veil of night; One glance of thine, one piercing ray, Would kindle darkness into day. 5 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from thy all-searching eyes. Thy hand can seize thy foes as soon Through midnight shades, as blazing noon. 6 O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

To God, the universal King

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 To God, the universal King, Let all mankind their tribute bring; All that have breath, your voices raise, In songs of never-ceasing praise. 2 The spacious earth on which we tread, And wider heavens stretch'd o'er our head, A large and solemn temple frame To celebrate its Builder's fame. 3 Here the bright sun, that rules they day, As through the sky he makes his way, To all the world proclaims aloud The boundless sov'reignty of God. 4 When from his courts the sun retires, And with the day his voice expires, The moon and stars adopt the song, And through the night the praise prolong. 5 The list'ning earth with rapture hears The harmonious music of the spheres; And all her tribes the notes repeat, That God is wise, and good, and great. 6 But man, endow'd with nobler powers, His God in nobler strains adores; His is the gift to know the song, As well as sing with tuneful tongue.

My God, thy boundless love I praise

Meter: Irregular Appears in 141 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 My God, thy boundless love I praise; How bright on high its glories blaze! How sweetly bloom below! It streams from thy eternal throne; Through heav'n its joys for ever run, And o'er the earth they flow. 2 'Tis love that paints the purple morn, And bids the clouds, in air upborne, Their genial drops distil; In ev'ry vernal beam it glows, And breathes in ev'ry gale that blows, And glides in every rill. 3 It robes in cheerful green the ground, And pours its flowery beauties round, Whose sweets perfume the gale; Its bounties richly spread the plain, The blushing fruit, the golden grain, And smile on ev'ry vale. 4 But in thy gospel see it shine With grace and glories more divine, Proclaiming sins forgiv'n. There faith, bright cherus, points the way To realms of everlasting day, And opens all her heav'n. 5 Then let the love, that makes me blest, With cheerful praise inspire my breast, And ardent gratitude; And all my thoughts and passions tend To thee, my Father and my Friend, My soul's eternal good.

Some seraph lend your heavenly tongue

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Some seraph lend your heavenly tongue, Or harp of golden string, That I may raise a lofty song, To our Eternal King. 2 Thy names how infinite they be! Great EVERLASTING ONE! Boundless thy might and majesty, And unconfin'd thy throne. 3 Thy glories shine of wondrous size, And wondrous large thy grace; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, And Gabriel veils his face. 4 Thine essence is a vast abyss, Which angels cannot sound; An ocean of infinities Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 5 Thy myst'ries of creation lie Beneath enlighten'd minds; Thoughts can ascend above the sky, And fly before the winds; 6 Reason may grasp the massy hills, And stretch from pole to pole; But half thy name our spirit fills, And overloads our soul. 7 In vain our haughty reason swells, For nothing's found in Thee, But boundless inconceivables, And vast eternity!

Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and pow'r; Ascribe due honours to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud, O'er the vast ocean and the land; His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command. 3 He speaks, and howling tempests rise, And lay the forest bare around: The fiercest beasts, with piteous cries, Confess the terror of the sound. 4 His thunders rend the vaulted skies, And palaces and temples shake. The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sov'reign o'er the flood; The Thund'rer reigns for ever King; But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing. 6 We see no terrors in his name, But in our God a Father find. The voice, that shakes all nature's frame, Speaks comfort to the pious mind.

When in dark and dreadful gloom

Meter: Irregular Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 When in dark and dreadful gloom, Clouds on clouds portentous spread, Black as if the day of doom Hung o'er nature's shrinking head: When the lightning breaks from high, God is coming--God is nigh! 2 Then we hear his chariot wheels, As the mighty thunder rolls; Nature, startled nature reels, From the centre of the poles: Then the ocean, earth, and sky, Tremble as he passes by! 3 Darkness, wild with horror, forms His mysterious hiding-place: Should he from his ark of storms, Rend the veil and show his face, At the judgment of his eye, All the universe would die. 4 God of vengeance! from above, While thine awful bolts are hurl'd, O remember thou art love! Spare!--O spare a guilty world! Stay thy flaming wrath awhile, Let the bow of promise smile!

They stand secure And steadfast still: Not Sion's hill Abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away, When once the Judge appears; And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years: But still the same, In radiant lines, His promise shines Through all the flame. 3 Their harmony shall sound Thro' my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground, And dissipate the spheres. Midst all the shock Of that dread scene, I'll stand serene, Thy word my rock.

If these th'enjoyments of the way, How happy is their home! 5 And what shall mortal worms reply? Or how such goodness own? But 'tis our joy, that, Lord, to thee Thy servants' hearts are known. 6 Since time's too short, all-gracious God, To utter half thy praise; Loud, to the honour of thy name, Eternal hymns we'll raise.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Eternal and immortal King, Thy peerless splendors none can bear; But darkness veils seraphic eyes, When God with all his glory’s there. 2 Yet faith can pierce the awful gloom, The great Invisible can see; And with its tremblings mingle joy, In fix'd regard, great God! to thee. 3 Then every tempting form of sin, Aw'd by thy presence, disappears; And all the glowing raptur'd soul The likeness, it contemplates, wears. 4 O ever conscious to my heart! Witness to its supreme desire; Behold it presses on to thee, For it hath caught the heav'nly fire. 5 This one petition would it urge: To bear thee ever in my sight! In life, in death, in worlds unknown, Its only portion and delight.

We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But O! the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes; our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men th'immortal King compare! 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold, and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heavens; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore: More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight him more.

Scripture: Psalm 147
