Can creatures to perfection find

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80 Lyrics: [Can creatures to perfection find Th' eternal, uncreated Mind? Or can the largest stretch of thought Measure and search his nature out? 'Tis high as heav'n, 'tis deep as hell And what can mortals know or tell? His glory spreads beyond the sky, And all the shining worlds on high. But man, vain man, would fain be wise; Born like a wild young colt, he flies Through all the follies of his mind, And swells, and snuffs the empty wind.] God is a King of power unknown, Firm are the orders of his throne; If he resolve, who dares oppose, Or ask him why or what he does? He wounds the heart, and he makes whole He calms the tempest of the soul; When he shuts up in long despair, Who can remove the heavy bar? He frowns, and darkness veils the moon; The fainting sun grows dim at noon; The pillars of heav'n's starry roof Tremble and start at his reproof. He gave the vaulted heav'n its form, The crooked serpent, and the worm; He breaks the billows with his breath, And smites the sons of pride to death. These are a portion of his ways; But who shall dare describe his face? Who can endure his light, or stand To hear the thunders of his hand?

Enthroned Amid the Seraphim

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 80 Lyrics: 1 Enthroned amid the seraphim, Where countless roll the wheels of time, Celestial light, almighty power! Burst forth in this afflictive hour! Effulgent, shine upon our race! Thy ancient mercies, Lord, retrace! 2 From superstition’s dark domain, From persecution’s cruel reign, When erst a tender vine was brought, With joys exuberantly fraught; In regions wrapped in destiny, It rose and bloomed, a lovely tree! 3 Its shade the mountains overspread; Its root, by bubbling fountains fed, Nor drought, nor desert, could arrest; Its branches filled the farthest west: Beside a thousand flowery banks, Its clusters swelled in glowing ranks. 4 Now torn and prostrate its defense, Despoiled of its magnificence, The savage hunter treads it down; It fades beneath a tyrant’s frown; The sword destroys, the fire devours, The Deity in darkness lours! 5 Ah! why deserted of our God? His vineyard, why a field of blood? Return, O God of hosts, return! Thy ravaged, slaughtered church discern! Behold, and victory impart! Thine, ever Thine, shall be our heart! Used With Tune: MELITA Text Sources: The Psalms, Newly Paraphrased for the Service of the Sanctuary by Joseph P. Bartrum (Boston: Russell, Osborne & Company, 1833)
