God is a name my soul adores

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores, Th'Almighty Three, the Eternal One! Nature and grace, with all their powers Confess the Infinite unknown. 2 From thy great self thy being springs; Thou art thy own original, Made up of uncreated things, And self-sufficience bears them all. 3 Thy voice produced the seas and spheres, Bids the waves roar and planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears Through all these spacious works of thine. 4 Still restless nature dies and grows; From change to change the creatures run: Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 5 How shall affrighted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie so far, And see but shadows of thy face! 6 Who can behold this blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might, None but thy word can speak thy name.

Known thro' the Earth by Thousand Signs, By Thousand thro' the Skies. 2 Those mighty Orbs proclaim thy Pow'r, Their Motions speak thy Skill; And on the Wings of ev'ry Hour We read thy Patience still; 3 Part of thy Name divinely Stands On all thy Creatures writ, They shews the Labour of thy hands, The Impress of thy Feet. 4 But when we View thy grand Design To save rebellious Worms, Where Wisdom Pow'r and Goodness shine, In their most glorious Forms; 5 Our Thoughts are lost in rev'rend Awe; We Love, and we adore; Thy holy Angels never saw So much of GOD before. 6 Here GOD hath made his Nature known, And Thought can never trace, Which of his Glories brightest shone, In our Redeemer's Face. 7 O the sweet Myst'ries of that Cross Where Jesus lov'd and dy'd, Her noblest Life my Spirit draws From his dear wounded Side. 8 Now the full Glories of the LAMB Adorn the heav'nly Plains; Sweet Cherubs learn Immanuel's Name, And try their choicest Strains. 9 O may I bear some humble Part In that immortal Song! Wonder and Joy shall tune my Heart, And love command my Tongue.

Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love, Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove, And help our misery. 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still; Thou dost with sinners bear; That, sav'd, we may thy goodness feel, And all thy grace declare. 3 Thy goodness and thy truth, to me To ev'ry soul abound; A vast unfathomable sea, Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 4 Its streams the whole creation reach, So plenteous is the store; Enough for all, enough for each, Enough for evermore. 5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are; A rock that cannot move: A thousand promises declare Thy constancy of love. 6 Throughout the universe it reigns, Unalterably sure; And, while the truth of God remains, His goodness must endure.

Great God, in vain man's narrow view

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God 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!

All-pow'rful, self-existent God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Being and Perfections of God 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 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 325 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.
