Lord, all I am is known to Thee!

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #72 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, all I am is known to Thee! In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, or to flee The notice of Thine eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord, Before they’re formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, He knows the sense I mean. 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. 5 So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.

Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His Name, Whose favors are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And gives thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with Love, When ransomed from the grave; He that redeemed my soul from death Hath sovereign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest: The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world His truth and grace By His beloved Son.

My soul, repeat His praise

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #74 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving Love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Sweet is the memory of Thy grace

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #75 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of Thy grace, My God, my heavenly King! Let age to age Thy righteousness In sounds 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 mouths with good. 4 How kind are Thy compassions, Lord! How slow Thine anger moves! But soon He sends His pardoning word, To cheer the souls He loves. 5 Creatures with all their endless race, Thy power and praise proclaim; But saints, who taste Thy richer grace, Delight to bless Thy Name.

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: CBWM1872 #76 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, approach your God With songs of sacred praise; For He is good, immensely good, And kind are all His ways. 2 All nature owns His guardian care; In Him we live and move; But nobler benefits declare The wonders of His love. 3 He gave His Son, His only Son, To ransom rebel worms. 'Tis here He makes His goodness known In it divinest forms. 4 To this dear refuge, Lord we come; 'Tis here our hope relies; A safe defense, a peaceful home, When storms of trouble rise. 5 Thine eye beholds with kind regard, The souls who trust in Thee; Their humble hope Thou wilt reward With bliss divinely free. 6 Great God, to Thy almighty Love, What honors shall we raise? Not all the raptured songs above Can render equal praise. Topics: God His Mercy and Faithfulness; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: CBWM1872 #79 (1890) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. 2 The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty Hand. 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening 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 this dark terrestrial ball, What though 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, Forever singing as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

Moon and stars with silvery light Praise Him through the silent night. 3 See how He hath everywhere Made this earth so rich and fair; Hill and vale and fruitful land, All things living, show His hand. 4 See how through the boundless sky Fresh and free the birds do fly; Fire and wind and storm are still Servants of His royal Will. 5 See the water's ceaseless flow, Ever circling to and fro: From the sources to the sea, Still it rolls in praise to Thee. 6 Lord, great wonders workest Thou! To Thy sway all creatures bow: Write Thou deeply in my heart What I am, and what Thou art! Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 136TH PSALM

Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest

Author: John Mason Hymnal: CBWM1872 #81 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest Before the world begun; Of Thine Eternity possest Before Time's glass did run. Thou needesst none Thy praise to sing, As if Thy joy could fade: Couldst Thou have needed anything, Thou couldst have nothing made. 2 Great and good God, it pleaséd Thee Thy Godhead to declare; And what Thy goodness did decree, Thy greatness did prepare: Thou spak'st, and heaven and earth appeared, And answered to Thy call; As if their Maker's voice they heard, Which is the creature's all. 3 To whom, Lord should I sing, but Thee, The Maker of my tongue? Lo! other lords would seize on me, But I to Thee belong. As waters haste unto their sea, And earth unto its earth, So let my soul return to Thee, From whom it had its birth. 4 But ah! I'm fallen on the night, And cannot come to Thee: Yet speak the word, "Let there be Light!" It shall enlighten me. And let Thy Word, most mighty Lord, Thy fallen creature raise; O make me o'er again, and I Shall sing my Maker's praise. Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: BRUNSWICK
