Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #50 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns Through all the wide celestial plains; And its full streams redundant flow Down to th' abodes of men below. 2 Thro' nature's works its glories shine; The cares of providence are thine: And grace erects our ruin'd frame, A fairer temple to thy name. 3 O give to every human heart To taste, and feel, how GOOD thou art; With grateful love, and reverend fear, To know how blest thy children are. 4 Let nature burst into a song; Ye echoing hills, the notes prolong: Earth, seas, and stars, your anthems raise, All vocal with your Maker's praise. 5 Ye saints with joy the theme pursue, Its sweetest notes belong to you; Elected by your heavenly king, For ever round his throne to sing. Scripture: Ezra 3:11 Languages: English

Eternal power! whose high abode

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #51 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal power! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite lengths beyond the bounds, Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall archangel tries To reach the height with wond'ring eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The GREAT, the HOLY, and the HIGH! 4 Earth from afar has hear thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name; But O, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 GOD is in heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes; our words be few; A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

To God the universal king

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #52 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 the day, As thro' 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 thro' the night the praise prolong. 5 The list'ning earth with rapture hears Th' 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 pow'rs, His GOD in nobler strains adores: His is the gift to know the song, As well as sing with tuneful tongue.

Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #53 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes To Him who dwells above the skies; With your glad notes his praise rehearse Who form'd the mighty universe. 2 He spoke, and from the womb of night At once sprang up the cheering light; Him discord heard and at his nod Beauty awoke, and spoke the GOD. 3 The word he gave th' obedient sun Began his glorious grace to run: Nor silver moon, nor stars delay To glide along th' etherial way. 4 Teeming with life, air, earth, and sea Obey th' Almighty's high decree; To every tribe he gives their food, Then speaks the whole divinely good. 5 But to complete the wond'rous plan, From earth and dust he fashions man; In man the last, in him the best, The Maker's image stands confest. 6 LORD, while thy glorious works I view, Form thou my heart and soul anew; Here bid thy purest light to shine, And beauty glow with charms divine.

Praise to the Lord of boundless might

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #55 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord of boundless might, With uncreated glories bright! His presence gilds the worlds above; Th' unchanging source of light and love. 2 Our rising earth his eye beheld, When in substantial darkness veil'd; The shapeless chaos, nature's womb, lay buried in eternal gloom. 3 "Let there be light," Jehovah said, And light o'er all its face was spread: Nature, array'd in charms unknown, Gay with its new born lustre shone. 4 He sees the mind, when lost it lies In shades of ignorance and vice; And darts from heaven a vivid ray, And changes midnight into day. 5 Shine, mighty God, with vigor shine On this benighted heart of mine; and let thy glories stand reveal'd, As in our Savior's face beheld. 6 My soul, reviv'd by heaven-born day, Thy radiant image shall display, While all my faculties unite To praise the Lord who gives me light.

Ye sons of men, with joy record

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #56 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, with joy record The various wonders of the LORD; And let his power and goodness sound Thro' all your tribes the earth around. 2 Let the high heavens your songs invite, Those spacious fields of brilliant light; Where sun and moon and planets roll, And stars, that glow from pole to pole. 3 Sing, earth, in verdant robes array'd, Its herbs and flowers, its fruits and shade; Peopled with life of various forms, Of fish, and fowl, and beasts, and worms. 4 View the broad sea's majestic plains, And think how wide its Maker reigns; That band remotest nations joins, And on each wave his goodness shines. 5 But O! that brighter world above, Where lives and reigns incarnate love, God's only Son, in flesh array'd, For man a bleeding victim made. 6 Thither my soul with rapture soar There in the land of praise adore; The theme demands an angel's lay, Demands an everlasting day.

Lord, when our raptur'd thought surveys

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #58 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 LORD, when our raptur'd thought surveys Creation's beauties o'er, All nature joins to teach thy praise, And bid our souls adore. 2 Where'er we turn our gazing eyes, Thy radiant footsteps shine; Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise And speak their source divine. 3 The living tribes of countless forms, In earth, and sea, and air; The meanest flies, the smallest worms Almighty power declare. 4 Thy wisdom, power, and goodness, LORD, In all thy works appear: And O! let man thy praise record, Man, thy distinguish'd care! Pause 5 From thee the breath of life he drew; That breath thy power maintains; Thy tender mercy, ever new, His brittle frame sustains. 6 Yet nobler favors claim his praise, Of reason's light possess'd; By revelation's brightest rays, Still more divinely bless'd. 7 Thy providence his constant guard, When threatening woes impend; Or will th' impending dangers ward, Or timely succors lend. 8 On us that providence has shone With gentle smiling rays; O, may our lips and lives make known Thy goodness and thy praise!
