Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #71 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In psalms of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies, Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouth with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord; How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the soul he loves. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: ZERAH

Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: SDAH1886 #72 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea; Thy paths I cannot trace, Nor comprehend the mystery Of thine unbounded grace. 2 As through a glass I dimly see The wonders of thy love, How little do I know of thee, Or of the joys above! 3 'Tis but in part I know thy will; I bless thee for the sight: When will thy love the rest reveal In glory's clearer light? 4 With rapture shall I then survey Thy providence and grace, And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise.

Lord, when my raptured thought surveys

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: SDAH1886 #73 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my raptured thought surveys Creation's beauties o'er, All nature joins to teach thy praise And bid my soul adore. 2 Where'er I turn my gazing eyes, Thy radiant footsteps shine; Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise, And speak their source divine. 3 On me thy providence has shone With gentle, smiling rays; O let my lips and life make known Thy goodness and thy praise!

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: SDAH1886 #74 (1886) 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 sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread, Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings o'er 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 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Jehovah, God, thy gracious power

Author: John Thomson Hymnal: SDAH1886 #75 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, God, thy gracious power On every hand we see; O may the blessings of each hour Lead all our thoughts to thee! 2 If on the wings of morn we speed To earth's remotest bound. Thy hand will there our footsteps lead, Thy love our path surround. 3 How good thou art! how large thy grace! How ready to forgive! Thy mercies crown our fleeting days, And by thy love we live. 4 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, And reaches to the skies; Thine eye of mercy never sleeps, Thy goodness never dies. 5 From morn till noon till latest eve, Thy hand, O God, we see; And all the blessings we receive Proceed alone from thee.

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #76 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme, And speak some wondrous thing The mighty works or mightier name Of our eternal King. 2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness, And sound his praise abroad; Sing the sweet promise of his grace, And the performing God. 3 His every word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all these promises. 4 Let every tongue his goodness speak, The sovereign Lord of all; Whose gracious hands uphold the weak, And raise the poor that fall. 5 O, might I hear that heavenly tongue But whisper, "Thou art mine," Those gentle words should raise my song To notes almost divine.

When all thy mercies, O my God!

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: SDAH1886 #77 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart discerned From whom those comforts flowed. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 O, how can words with equal warmth The gratitude declare That glow within my raptured heart? But thou canst read it there. 5 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

Great God, how infinite thou art!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #78 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite thou art! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee there's nothing old appears, Nor aught to thee is new! 4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares; While thy eternal thought moves on Thy undisturbed affairs. 5 Great God, how infinite thou art! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: GENEVA

My God, how wonderful thou art!

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: SDAH1886 #79 (1886) Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art! Thy majesty how bright! How beautiful thy mercy-seat, In depth of burning light! 2 How dread are thine eternal years, O everlasting Lord! By prostrate angels day and night Incessantly adored! 3 How beautiful, how beautiful, The sight of thee must be! Thine endless wisdom, boundless power, And awful purity! 4 O how I fear thee, living God! With deepest, tenderest fears; And worship thee with trembling hope And penitential tears. 5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord! Almighty as thou art; For thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: GENEVA

There is a book that all may read

Author: John Keble Hymnal: SDAH1886 #80 (1886) Lyrics: 1 There is a book that all may read, Which heavenly truth imparts; And all the lore its scholars need, And all the lore its scholars need, Pure eyes and Christian hearts. 2 The works of God above, below, Within us, and around, Are pages in that book, to show How God himself is found. 3 The glorious sky, embracing all, Is like the Maker's love, Wherewith encompassed, great and small, In peace and order move. 4 The dew of heaven is like thy grace, It steals in silence down; But where it falls, the favored place By richest fruits is known. 5 Thou who has given me eyes to see, And love for what is fair, Give me a heart to find out thee, And read thee everywhere.
