The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #61 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great original proclaim. 2 Th' unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display; And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 3 Soon as the ev'ning shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings, as they roll, and spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What tho' no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice, for ever singing as they shine—: The hand that made us is divine.

There is a God, all nature speaks

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #62 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is a God, all nature speaks, Through earth, and air, and seas, and skies, See, from the clouds his glory breaks, When the first beams of morning rise. 2 The rising sun, serenely bright, O'er the wide world's extended frame, Inscribes in characters of light, His mighty Maker's glorious name. 3 Diffusing life, his influence spreads; And health and plenty smile around; And fruitful fields, and verdant meads, Are with a thousand blessings crown'd. 4 Almighty Goodness, Power divine, The fields and verdant meads display; And bless the hand, which made them shine With various charms profusely gay. 5 For mand and beast, here daily food, In wide diffusive plenty grows; And there for drink, the crystal flood In streams sweet winding gently flows.

Hail, great Creator, wise and good!

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #63 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hail, great Creator, wise and good! To thee our songs we raise. Nature, thro' all her various scenes, Invites us to thy praise. 2 At morning, noon, and ev'ning mild, Fresh wonders strike our view; And while we gaze, our hearts exult, With transports ever new. 3 Thy glory beams in ev'ry star, Which gilds the gloom of night; And decks the smiling face of morn With rays of cheerful light. 4 The lofty hill, the humble lawn, With countless beauties shine; The silent grove, the awful shade, Proclaim thy pow'r divine. 5 Great nature's God! still may these scenes Our serious hours engage! Still may our grateful hearts consult Thy works' instructive page! 6 And while in all thy wondrous works, Thy varied love we see; Still may the contemplation lead Our hearts, O God, to thee!

We sing th' almighty power of God

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #64 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We sing th' almighty pow'r of God, Who bade the mountains rise, Who spread the flowing seas abroad And built the lofty skies. 2 We sing the wisdom that ordain'd The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at his command, And all the stars obey. 3 We sing the goodness of the Lord, Who fills the earth with food; Who form'd the creatures by a word And then pronounc'd them good. 4 Lord, how your wonders are display'd, Where'er we turn our eyes; Whether we view the ground we tread Or gaze upon the skies! 5 There's not a plant nor flow'r below, But makes your glories known; And clouds arise and tempests blow, By order from thy throne. 6 Creation, vast as it may be, Is subject to thy will. There's not a place, where we can flee, But God is with us still. 7 On him each moment we depend; If he withdraw, we die. Oh may we ne'er that God offend, Who is forever nigh!

Let the high heav'ns your songs invite

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #65 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let the high heav'ns your songs invite; Those spacious fields of brilliant light, Where sun, and moon, and planets roll, And stars that glow from pole to pole. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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! 5 Thither, my soul, with rapture soar; There in the land of praise adore! The theme demands an angel's lay, Demands an everlasting day. Topics: Works of God In Nature Languages: English

Eternal source of ev'ry joy!

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #66 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal source of ev'ry joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year. 2 The flow'ry spring, at thy command, Perfumes the air, and paints the land; The summer-rays with vigour shine, To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 4. Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by thy care, No more a face of horror wear. 5. Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days, Demand successive songs of praise; Still be the cheerful homage paid, With morning light and ev'ning shade. 6. Here in thy house let incense burn, And circling sabbaths bless our eyes; Till to those lofty heights we soar, Where days and years revolve no more. Topics: Works of God In Nature Languages: English

With songs and honours sounding loud

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #67 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honours sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heav’ns he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends His show'rs of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 He gives the grazing ox his meat; He hears the ravens cry: But man, who tastes his finest wheat; Should raise His honours high. 4 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6 He sends his word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn. He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 7 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty Word. With songs and honours sounding loud, Praise ye the sov'reign Lord.

Soft show'rs, with blessings fraught, Bid verdure, beauty, fragrance rise, And fix the roving thought 3 O let my wond'ring heart confess, With gratitude and love, The bounteous hand that deigns to bless The garden, field, and grove. 4 That bounteous hand my thoughts adore, Beyond expression kind, Hath sweeter, nobler gifts in store, To bless the craving mind. 5 Insprir'd to praise, I then shall join Glad nature's cheerful song; And love and gratitude divine Attune my joyful tongue.

The rising morn, the closing day

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #69 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The rising morn, the closing day, Repeat thy praise with grateful voice; Both in their turns thy pow'r display, And, laden with thy gifts, rejoice. 2 Earth's wide-extended, varying scenes, All smiling round, thy bounty show. From seas or clouds, full magazines, Thy rich diffusive blessings flow. 3 Now earth receives the precious seed, Which thy indulgent hand prepares; And nourishes the future bread, And answers all the sower's cares. 4 Thy sweet refreshing show'rs attend And through the ridges gently flow, Soft on the springing corn descend; And thy kind blessing makes it grow. 5 Thy goodness crowns the circling year; Thy paths drop fatness all around; Ev'n barren wilds thy praise declare, And echoing hills return the sound. 6 Here, spreading flocks adorn the plain; There plenty ev'ry charm displays. Thy bounty clothes each lovely scene; And joyful nature shouts thy praise. Topics: Works of God In Nature Languages: English

By thee the seasons change, and all The changing seasons speak thy name. 2 Thy bounty bids the infant year, From winter storms recover'd, rise; When thousand grateful scenes appear, Fresh op'ning to our wond'ring eyes. 3 O how delightful 'tis to see The earth in vernal beauty drest! While in each herb, and flow'r, and tree, Thy blooming glories shine confest! 4 Aloft, full beaming, reigns the sun, And light and genial heat conveys; And, while he leads the seasons on, From thee derives his quick'ning rays. 5 Around us, in the teeming field, Stands the rich grain or purpled vine; At thy command they rise, to yield The strength'ning bread or cheering wine. 6 Indulgent God! from ev'ry part Thy plenteous blessings largely flow; We see; we taste;--let ev'ry heart With grateful love and duty glow.
