What is our God, or what his name

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God 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 rose 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.

Twas God who hurl'd the rolling spheres

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 'Twas God who hurl'd the rolling spheres, And stretch'd the boundless skies; Who form'd the plan of endless years, And bade the ages rise. 2 From everlasting is his might, Immense and unconfin'd: He pierces through the realms of light, And rides upon the wind. 3 He darts along the burning skies; Loud thunders round him roar: All heav'n attends him, as he flies; All hell proclaims his pow'r. 4 He scatters nations with his breath; The scatter'd nations fly: Blue pestilence and wasting death, Confess the Godhead nigh. 5 Ye worlds, with ev'ry living thing, Fulfil his high command: Mortals, pay homage to your King, And own his ruling hand.

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, And secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, Before they’re form'd within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, Thou know'st 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.

Ye sons of men, in sacred lays

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in sacred lays, Attempt the great Creator's praise; But who an equal song can frame? 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!

Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God First Line: How strong thine Arm is, mighty God! Lyrics: 1 How strong thine Arm is, mighty God! Who would not fear thy Name! Jesus, how sweet thy Graces are! Who would not love the Lamb? 2 He has done more than Moses did Our Prophet and our King; From Bonds of Hell he freed our Souls, And taught our Lips to sing. 3 In the Read-Sea, by Moses' Hand, Th' Egyptian Host was drown'd; But his own Blood hides all our Sins, And Guilt no more is found. 4 When thro' the Desert Israel went, With Manna they were fed: Our Lord invites us to his Flesh, And calls it Living Bread. 5 Moses beheld the promis'd Land, Yet never reached the Place; But Christ shall bring his Followers home, To see his Father's Face. 6 Then shall our Love and Joy be full, And feel a warmer Flame; And sweeter Voices tune the Song Of Moses and the Lamb. Scripture: Revelation 15:3

Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God First Line: In all my vast Concerns with thee Lyrics: 1 In all my vast Concerns with thee, In vain my Soul would try To shun thy Presence, Lord, or flee The Notice of thine Eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding Sight surveys My Rising and my Rest, My public Walks, my private Ways, And Secrets of my Breast. 3 My Thoughts lye open to the Lord Before they're forme' within; And ere my Lips pronounce the Word He knows the Sense I mean. 4 O wond'rous Knowledge, deep and High! Where can a Creature hide? Within thy circling Arms I lye, 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, Secur'd by Sov'reign Love. Pause 6 Lord, where shall guilty Souls retire, forgotten and unknown? In Hell they meet thy dreadful Fire, In Heav'n thy glorious Throne. 7 Should I suppress my vital Breath To 'scape the Wrath Divine, Thy Voice would break the Bars of Death, And make the Grave resign. 8 If wing'd with Beams of Morning-Light, I fly beyond the West, Thy Hand, which must support my Flight, Would soon betray my Rest. 9 If o'er my Sins I think to draw The Curtains of the Night, Those flaming Eyes that guard thy Law Would turn the Shades to Light. 10 The Beams of Noon, the Midnight Hour Are both alike to thee; O may I ne'er provoke that Pow'r From which I cannot flee.
