The Mutability of the Creation, and the immutability of God
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #XIII (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creatures Mutablity of; Creatures Mutablity of First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame,
Our souls adore thine awful name;
And bow and tremble, while thy praise
The Ancient of eternal days.
2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey,
Saw'st nature rising yesterday;
And, as to-morrow, shall thine eye
See earth and stars in ruin lie.
3 Beyond an angel's vision bright,
Thou dwell'st in self-existent light;
Which shines with undiminish'd ray,
While suns and worlds in smoke decay.
4 Our days a transient period run,
And change with ev'ry circling sun;
And, in the firmest state we boast,
A moth can crush us into dust.
5 But let the creature fall around:
Let death consign us to the ground;
Let the last gen'ral flame arise,
And melt the arches of the skies:
6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we
Can all the wreck of nature see,
While grace secures us an abode,
Unshaken as the throne of God. Scripture: Psalm 102:25-28 Languages: English
The Mutability of the Creation, and the immutability of God
Let ev'ry Creature join
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P148c (1766) Topics: Praise from all creatures Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry Creature join
To praise th' eternal GOD;
Ye heav'nly Hosts the Song begin,
And sound his Name abroad.
2 Thou Sun with golden Beams,
And Moon with paler Rays,
Ye starry Lights, ye twinkling Flames,
Shine to your Maker's Praise.
3 He built those Worlds above,
And fix'd their wond'rous Frame:
By his Command they stand or move,
And ever speak his Name.
4 Ye Vapours, when ye rise,
Or fall in Show'rs or Snow;
Ye Thunders, murm'ring round the Skies,
His Pow'r and Glory show.
5 Wind, Hail, and flashing Fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful Storms conspire
To execute his Word.
6 By all his Works above
His Honours be exprest;
But Saints that taste his saving Love,
Should sing his Praises best.
Pause I.
7 Let Earth and Ocean know
They owe their Maker Praise:
Praise him, ye wat'ry Worlds below,
And Monsters of the Seas.
8 From Mountains near the Sky
Let his high Praise resound,
From humble Shrubs and Cedars high,
And Vales and Fields around.
9 Ye Lions of the Wood,
And tamer Beasts that graze,
Ye live upon his daily Food,
And he expects your Praise.
10 Ye Birds of lofty Wing,
On high his Praises bear;
Or sit on flow'ry Boughs, and sing
Your Maker's Glory there.
11 Ye creeping Ants and Worms,
His various Wisdom show,
And Flies in all your shining Swarms,
Praise him that drest you so.
12 By all the Earth-born Race
His Honours be exprest,
But Saints, that know his heav'nly Grace
Should learn to praise him best.
Pause II.
13 Monarchs of wide Command,
Praise ye th' eternal King;
Judges, adore that sov'reign Hand,
Whence all your Honours spring.
14 Let vig'rous Youth engage
To sound his Praises high:
While growing Babes, and with'ring Age,
Their feebler Voices try.
15 United Zeal be shown
His wond'rous Fame to raise;
GOD is the Lord; His Name alone
Deserves our endless Praise.
16 Let Nature join with Art,
And all pronounce him blest;
But Saints, that dwell so near his Heart,
Should sing his Praises best. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English
Let ev'ry Creature join
Psalm 8
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.15 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; Man dominion over creatures First Line: O Lord, our heav'nly King Lyrics:
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.
When to thy works on high
I raise my wondering eyes,
And see the moon, complete in light,
Adorn the darksome skies
When I survey the stars,
And all their shining forms,
Lord, what is man, that worthless thing,
Akin to dust and worms?
Lord, what is worthless man,
That thou shouldst love him so?
Next to thine angels is he placed,
And lord of all below.
Thine honors crown his head,
While beasts, like slaves, obey;
And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.
How rich thy bounties are!
And wondrous are thy ways
Of dust and worms thy power can frame
A monument of praise.
[Out of the mouths of babes
And sucklings thou canst draw
Surprising honors to thy name,
And strike the world with awe.
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.]

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.16 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; Man dominion over creatures First Line: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Lyrics:
O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let men and babes proclaim.
When I behold thy works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,
Those moving worlds of light;
Lord, what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou shouldst visit him with grace,
And love his nature so?
That thine eternal Son should bear
To take a mortal form;
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?
[Yet while he lived on earth unknown,
And men would not adore,
Th' obedient seas and fishes own
His Godhead and his power.
The waves lay spread beneath his feet;
And fish, at his command,
Bring their large shoals to Peter's feet,
Bring tribute to his hand.
These lesser glories of the Son
Shone through the fleshly cloud;
Now, we behold him on his throne,
And men confess him God.]
Let him be crowned with majesty,
Who bowed his head to death;
And be his honors sounded high,
By all things that have breath.
Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let the whole earth proclaim.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.17 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; Man dominion over creatures First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics:
Almighty Ruler of the skies,
Through the wide earth thy name is spread;
And thine eternal glories rise
O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made.
To thee the voices of the young
A monument of honor raise;
And babes, with uninstructed tongue,
Declare the wonders of thy praise.
Thy power assists their tender age
To bring proud rebels to the ground,
To still the bold blasphemer's rage,
And all their policies confound.
Children amidst thy temple throng
To see their great Redeemer's face;
The Son of David is their song,
And young hosannas fill the place.
The frowning scribes and angry priests
In vain their impious cavils bring;
Revenge sits silent in their breasts,
While Jewish babes proclaim their King.

Lord, what was man, when made at first,
Adam the offspring of the dust,
That thou shouldst set him and his race
But just below an angel's place?
That thou shouldst raise his nature so,
And make him lord of all below;
Make every beast and bird submit,
And lay the fishes at his feet?
But, O! what brighter glories wait
To crown the Second Adam's state!
What honors shall thy Son adorn,
Who condescended to be born!
See him below his angels made;
See him in dust amongst the dead,
To save a ruined world from sin;
But he shall reign with power divine.
The world to come, redeemed from all
The miseries that attend the fall,
New made and glorious, shall submit
At our exalted Savior's feet.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord,
This work belongs to you;
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!
His mercy and his righteousness
Let heav'n and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wondrous name.
His wisdom and almighty word
The heav'nly arches spread,
And by the Spirit of the Lord
Their shining hosts were made.
He bid the liquid waters flow
To their appointed deep;
The flowing seas their limits know,
And their own station keep).
Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand
He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.
He scorns the angry nations' rage,
And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines.

Blest is the nation where the Lord
Hath fixed his gracious throne,
Where he reveals his heav'nly word,
And calls their tribes his own.
His eye with infinite survey
Does the whole world behold;
He formed us all of equal clay,
And knows our feeble mold.
Kings are not rescued by the force
Of armies from the grave;
Nor speed nor courage of a horse
Can the bold rider save.
Vain is the strength of beasts or men,
To hope for safety thence;
But holy souls from God obtain
A strong and sure defence.
God is their fear, and God their trust;
When plagues or famine spread,
His watchful eye secures the just
Among ten thousand dead.
Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice,
And bless us from thy throne;
For we have made thy word our choice,
And trust thy grace alone.

Ye holy souls, in God rejoice,
Your Maker's praise becomes your voice;
Great is your theme, your songs be new:
Sing of his name, his word, his ways,
His works of nature and of grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!
Justice and truth he ever loves,
And the whole earth his goodness proves,
His word the heav'nly arches spread:
How wide they shine from north to south!
And by the spirit of his mouth
Were all the starry armies made.
He gathers the wide-flowing seas
(Those wat'ry treasures know their place)
In the vast storehouse of the deep:
He spake, and gave all nature birth;
And fires, and seas, and heav'n, and earth,
His everlasting orders keep.
Let mortals tremble and adore
A God of such resistless power,
Nor dare indulge their feeble rage:
Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands;
But his eternal counsel stands,
And rules the world from age to age.

O happy nation, where the Lord
Reveals the treasure of his word,
And builds his church, his earthly throne!
His eye the heathen world surveys,
He formed their hearts, he knows their ways;
But God their Maker is unknown.
Let kings rely upon their host,
And of his strength the champion boast;
In vain they boast, in vain rely;
In vain we trust the brutal force,
Or speed, or courage, of a horse,
To guard his rider or to fly.
The eye of thy compassion, Lord,
Doth more secure defence afford
When death or dangers threat'ning stand:
Thy watchful eye preserves the just,
Who make thy name their fear and trust,
When wars or famine waste the land.
In sickness, or the bloody field,
Thou our physician, thou our shield,
Send us salvation from thy throne:
We wait to see thy goodness shine;
Let us rejoice in help divine,
For all our hope is God alone.
