The Spirituality of God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #1 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thou art, O God! a spirit pure Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a spirit pure, Invisible to mortal eyes; Th'immortal, and the eternal King, The great, the good, the only wise. 2 Whilst nature changes, and her works Corrupt, decay, dissolve, and die, Thy essence pure no change shall see, Secure of immortality. 3 Thou great Invisible! what hand Can draw thy image spotless fair! 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.

God supreme and self-sufficient

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #2 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What is our God, or what his name Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; He dwells conceal'd in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach. 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, Compar'd with him, how short they fall! They are too dark, and he too bright; Nothing are they, and God is all. 3 He spoke that wondrous word, and lo! Creation arose at his command: Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, Bound in the hollow of his hand. 4 There rests the earth, there roll the spheres, There nature leans, and feels her prop: But his own self-sufficience bears The weight of his own glories up. 5 The tide of creatures ebbs and flows, Measuring their changes by the moon: No ebb his sea of glory knows: His age is one eternal noon. 6 Then fly, my song, an endless round, The lofty tune let Gabriel raise, All nature dwell upon the sound, But we can ne'er fulfil the praise.

Unity of God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #3 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal God, almighty cause Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, almighty cause Of earth, and seas and worlds unknown; 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 control'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 favor 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.

God Incomprehensible

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #4 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, in vain man's narrow view Lyrics: 1 Great God, in vain man's narrow view, Attempts to look thy nature through. Our lab'ring pow'rs with rev'rence own, Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind. 3 Yet, Lord, thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal men to know; While wisdom, goodness, pow'r divine, Thro' all thy works and conduct shine. 4 O! may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace, Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will!

God eternal and unchangeable

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #5 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, how infinite art thou! Lyrics: 1 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. 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. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Languages: English

All-pow'rful, self-existent God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #6 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All-pow'rful, self-existent God, Who all creation dost sustain! 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 Yon 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.

God Almighty

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #7 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and pow'r; Ascribe due honors 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 forever 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. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Languages: English

God Omnipresent and Omniscient

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #8 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through 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. Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Languages: English

Lord, all I am is known to thee!

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #9 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, all I am is known to Thee! In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, or to flee The notice of thine eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, The secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, Before they’re formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, Thou knowest the sense I mean. 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on ev'ry side. 5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from ev'ry ill, Secured by sov'reign love.

God's Wisdom

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #10 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Songs of immortal praise belong Lyrics: 1 Songs of immortal praise belong To my almighty God: He hath my heart, and he my tongue, To spread his name abroad. 2 How great the works his hand hath wrought! How glorious in our sight! And men in ev'ry age have sought His wonders with delight. 3 How most exact is nature's frame! How wise th'eternal mind! 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 shall we do to make us wise, But learn to read thy name? 6 To fear thy pow'r, to trust thy grace, Is our divinest skill; And he's the wisest of our race, Who best obeys thy will.
