Great former of this various frame

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #60 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 unsurprised 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. Pause. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with every 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 general 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

Father of love! from age to age

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #61 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of love! from age to age The wonders of thy grace, The heart and lips of saints engage, In cheerful songs, to praise. 2 Creatures in various trains to thee Raise the dependant eye; Thy stores of goodness rich and free, Their various wants supply. 3 But O! the treasures of thy love, To man's apostate race, Are boundless mysteries, far above Both man's and angel's praise. 4 Jesus! in whom a fulness dwells, Thro' endless years the same, To every hungry soul reveals The glories of his name. 5 Thousands in this dark world below, His faithfulness attest; In worlds above ten thousand know, That humble souls are blest.

When o'er the trodden paths of life

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #63 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When, o'er the trodden paths of life, Backwards I turn mine eyes, What varied scenes, throughout the road, Awaken my surprise! 2 Thousands, to whom my natal hour Imparted vital breath, Just looked on life, and closed their eyes In the fast sleep of death. 3 Thousands, who climb'd to manhood's stage; Safe through unnumber'd snares; Travell'd not far before they sunk Amidst its thorns and cares. 4 Follow'd thro' every changing stage, With goodness all my days, Deny me not a heart to love, A tongue to speak thy praise. 5 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, My grateful lips shall give; And, while I make thy grace my trust, To thee alone I'll live. 6 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, Echo along the road; O! may I join those endless songs, That fill thy blest abode. Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2 Languages: English

God moves in a mysterious way

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #64 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works his sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour, The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Begin, my soul, th'exalted lay

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #66 (1812) Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, th' exalted lay; Let each enraptur'd thought obey, And praise the Almighty's name: Lo! heaven and earth and seas and skies, In one melodious concert rise, To swell th' inspiring theme. 2 Ye fields of light celestial plains, Where gay transporting beauty reigns, Ye scenes divinely fair, Your Makers wond'rous power proclaim, Tell how he form'd your shining frame, And breath'd the fluid air. 3 Ye angels, catch the thrilling sound, While all th, adoring thrones around His boundless mercy sing: Let every listening saint above Wake all the tuneful soul of love, And touch the sweetest string. 4 Let every element rejoice, Ye thunder's burst with awful voice, To him who bids you roll: His praise in softer notes declare: Each whispering breeze of yielding air, And breath it to the soul. 5 Let man, by noblest passions sway'd, The feeling heart, the thoughtful head, In heavenly praise employ: Spread his tremendous name around, Till heav'n's broad arch rings back the sound, The general burst of joy!
