Forms vain without Religion

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XC (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty Maker, God! Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God! How glorious is thy name! Thy wonders now diffus'd abroad Thro' the creations frame! 2 Nature in every dress her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 But pride, that busy sin, Spoils all that I perform, Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in, And swells a haughty worm. 5 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true Until its form'd again. 5 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
