Songs of immortal praise belong

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #41 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 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 need not change the scheme That his first thoughts design'd. 4 When he redeem'd the sons of men, He fix'd his 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.

When I with curious eyes survey

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #42 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When I with curious eyes survey My complicated frame, I read on ev'ry part inscrib'd My great Creator's name. 2 With nicest art, in secret, God Did ev'ry member write; And, when the model was complete, My eyes beheld the light. 3 He bade the purple flood of life In circling streams to flow; And sent the genial heat around Though ev'ry part to glow. 4. Why was my body form'd erect, Whilst brutes bow down to earth? But that my soul should learn to know, And claim it's nobler birth. 5. Author of life! my tongue shall sing The wonders of my frame. Long as I breathe, and think and speak, I'll praise thy glorious name. Topics: Character and Perfections of God Languages: English

Holy and rever'nd is the name

God is a spirit, just and wise

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #44 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise; He sees our inmost mind. In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honour can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground: But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere: Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.

Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #45 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord!

What eyes, like thine, eternal Sire

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #47 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What eyes like thine, eternal Sire, Through sin's obscurest depths inquire? What judge, like thee, on virtue's foes The needful vengeance can impose? 2 The meek observer of thy laws To thee commits his injur'd cause: In thee, each anxious fear resign'd, The fatherless a father find. 3 Thine is the throne; beneath thy reign, Immortal King, the tribes profane Behold their dreams of conquest o'er, And vanish to be seen no more. 4 'Tis thine the orphan's cheek to dry, The guiltless suff'rer's cause to try, To rein each earth-born tyrant's will, And bid the sons of pride be still.

The heart, dejected, sighs to know

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #49 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The heart, dejected, sighs to know, Why vice triumphant reigns below; Why saints have fall'n in ev'ry age, The victims of tyrannic rage. 2 Fast roll successive years away; Fast hastens on th' important day, When, to th' astonish'd world's surprise, God's high tribunal shall arise. 3 Hark, 'tis the trumpet's piercing sound; The rising dead assemble round; In close procession, see, they come, Each to receive his final doom. 4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race; Pale terror sits on ev'ry face: Here, on the right, a joyful band, The sons of suff'ring virtue stand. 5 The sentence pass'd, lo! these arise To bliss and glory in the skies: While those, who once stood high in fame, Sink to contempt, remorse, and shame. 6 Thus shall God's government appear Without a shade, divinely fair; And blushing doubts, with joy, confess, The Lord's a God of righteousness.

The promises I sing

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #50 (1814) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing, Which love supreme hath spoke; Nor will th'eternal King His words of grace revoke. They stand secure And steadfast still: Not Sion's hill Abides so sure. 2 The mountains melt away, When once the Judge appears; And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years: But still the same, In radiant lines, His promise shines Through all the flame. 3 Their harmony shall sound Thro' my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground, And dissipate the spheres. Midst all the shock Of that dread scene, I'll stand serene, Thy word my rock. Topics: Character and Perfections of God; God Faithful Languages: English
