Praise ye the Lord, its good to raise

Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, tis good to raise, Our hearts and voices in his praise. His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight, To make this duty our delight. 2 He form'd the stars those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers calls their name, His wisdom's vast, and knows no bounds, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd. 3 Sing to the Lord exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky. There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And cloths the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with feed his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry, And the young ravens when they cry. 5 What is the creatures skill or force, The sprightly man or warlike horse? The piercing wit, the active limb, All are too mean delights for him, All are too mean delights for him. Used With Tune: KETTELBYS

To heaven I lift my waiting eyes

Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To heaven I lift my waiting eyes. There all my hopes are laid, the Lord that built the earth and skyes is my perpetuahl aid. 2 Their feet shall never slide or fall, whom he designs to keep; His ear attends the softest call, His eyes can never sleep. 3 He will sustain our feeble powers, With his Almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours, Against invading harm. 4 Israel rejoice and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakefull eyes employ his pow'r, For thine eternal guard 5 Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smile; He shields thy head from burning noon From blasting damps at night. 6 He guards the soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come; Go and return secure from death, Till God commands thee home.

The spacious firmament on high

Appears in 784 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame Their great original proclaim. Th' unearied sun from day to day Does his creators pow'r display And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand, The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale And nightly to the listning earth, Reveals the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they rowl, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all, Move round the dark terrestrial ball, What tho' nor real voice nor sound, Amid their radiant orbs be found, In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine The hand that made us is divine.

Praise ye the Lord, immortal choir

Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, immortal choir, That fill the realms above; Praise him who form'd you of his fire And feeds you with his love. Shine to his praise ye crystal skies, The floor of his abode; O veil in shades your thousand eyes; Before your brighter God. 2 Thou restless globe of golden light, Whose beams create our days, Join with the silver queen of night, To own your borrowed rays. Winds, ye shall bear his name aloud, Thro' the eternal blue; For when his chariot is a cloud, He makes his wheels of you. 3 Thunder and hail, and fire and storms, The troops of his command, Appear in all your dreadful forms, And speak his awful hand. Wave your tall heads ye lofty pines, To him that bids you grow; Sweet clusters bend the fruitfull vines, On ev'ry thankful bough. Used With Tune: HALLELUJAH

When the fierce north wind with his airy forces

Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Rears up the Baltick to a foaming fury, And the red lightnings with a storm of hail comes, Rushing amain down. 2 How the poor sailors stand amaz'd and tremble, While the hoarse thunder like a bloody trumpet, Roars a loud onset to the gaping waters, Quick to devour them. 3 Such shall the noise be, and the wild disorder, (If things eternal may be like these earthly) Such the dire terror when the great archangel Shakes the creation. 4 Tears the strong pillars of the vault of heaven, Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes, See the graves open and the bones arising. Flames all around them. 5 Hark the shrill outcries of the guilty wretches! Lively bright horror, and amazing anguish, Stare thro' their eyelids, while the living worm lies Gnawing within them. 6 Thoughts like old vultures prey upon their heartstrings, And the smart twinges when the eye beholds the Lofty judge, frowning, and a flood of vengeance Rolling afore him. 7 Hopeless immortals, how they scream and shiver, While devils push them to the pit wide yawning, Hideous and gloomy, to receive them headlong Down to the center. 8 Stop here my fancy (All away ye horrid Doleful ideas) come arise to Jesus, How he sits Godlike, and the saints around him, Thron'd yet adoring. 9 O may I sit there when he comes triumphant, Dooming the nations, then ascend to glory, While our hosannas all along the passage Shout the redeemer.
