Songs of immortal praise belong

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 126 hymnals 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 hands have 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! Th' eternal God, how wise! His counsels never change the scheme That His first thoughts devise. 4 When He through Christ redeemed our race He fixed His cov'nant sure; His precious promises of grace To endless years endure. 5 Nature, and time, and earth, and skies His heavenly skill proclaim; But they alone are truly wise, Who know in Christ His name.

The Glories Of my Maker God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glories of my maker God My joyful voice shall sing, And call the nations to adore Their former and their king. 2 ’Twas His right hand that shaped our clay, And wrought this human frame; But from His own immediate breath Our nobler spirits came. 3 We bring our mortal powers to God, And worship with our tongues; We claim some kindred with the skies, And join th’angelic songs. 4 Let groveling beasts of every shape, And fowls of every wing, And rocks, and trees, and fires, and seas, Their various tribute bring. 5 Ye planets, to His honor shine, And wheels of nature roll, Praise Him in your unwearied course Around the steady pole. 6 The brightness of our maker’s name The wide creation fills, And His unbounded grandeur flies Beyond the heav’nly hills.
