Praise to God as the Creator and Preserver

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #41 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Before Jehovah's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men, And when, like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls and all our mortal frame; What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name? 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; High as the Heav'ns our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

'Tis here he makes his goodness known In its diviner forms. 4 To this dear refuge, Lord we come; 'Tis here our hope relies; A save defence, a peaceful home, When storms of trouble rise. 5 Thine eye beholds with kind regard The souls who trust in thee; Their humble hope thou wilt regard, With bliss divinely free. 6 Great God,to thy almighty love, What honors shall we raise? Not all the raptur'd songs above Can render equal praise. Topics: Of God Praise to God Languages: English

His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th'oppressed, he feeds the poor; And none shall find his promise vain. 3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the lab'ring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the pris'ner sweet release. 4 I'll praise him, while he lends me breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures. Topics: Of God Praise to God Languages: English

In glad amazement, Lord, I stand

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #49 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In glad amazement, Lord, I stand, Amidst the bounties of thy hand. How numberless those bounties are! How rich, how various, and how fair! 2 But O! what poor returns I make! What lifeless thanks I pay thee back! Lord! I confess with humble shame, My off'rings scarce deserve the name. 3 Fain would my lab'ring heart devise To bring some nobler sacrifice. It sinks beneath the mighty load: What shall I render to my God? 4 To him I consecrate my praise, And vow the remnant of my days. Yet, what at best, I can pretend, Worthy such gifts from such a friend? 5 In deep abasement, Lord, I see My emptiness and poverty. Enrich my soul with grace divine, And make me worthier to be thine. 6 Give me at length an angel's tongue, That heav'n may echo with my song. The theme, too great for time, shall be The joy of long eternity. Topics: Of God Praise to God Languages: English

Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power, Their motions speak thy skill, And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 But when we view thy grand design To save rebellious worms, Our souls are fill'd with awe divine, To see what God performs. 4 When sinners break the Father's law, Thy dying Son atones; Oh the dear mysteries of his cross! The triumph of his groans! 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
