O Thou who dwellest up on high

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O Thou who dwellest up on high, To whom our prayers and praises fly, Once more our voices all unite In song to thee, O God of light! 2 Our humble gratitude we speak, For all the blessings of the week, As at thy throne of grace we bow And ask thee for a blessing now. 3 O bless us as we meet to-day, While unto thee we sing and pray; O bless the word of truth we hear, And to each heart be very near. 4 'Tis vain within these walls to kneel Unless our need of thee we feel; 'Tis vain to lift the voice in praise Unless devotion tunes our lays. 5 Help us to worship thee aright; Let self be banished from our sight, Unless thy Spirit prompts the view To search our motives through and through.

Father supreme, whose wondrous love

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #2 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Father supreme, whose wondrous love Our utmost thought so far exceeds, We seek thy blessing from above, A rich supply for all our needs. 2 On thee alone our hopes we rest, To thee alone we lift our eyes; Regard our prayer, though unexpressed, Accept our spirit's sacrifice. 3 'Tis not for present power or wealth, Or worldly fame, we look to thee; We ask thy gift of heavenly health, The gift of immortality. 4 Fulfil in us thy faithful word, Through Him who died to make it sure, Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness, Who lives again to die no more.

High in the heavens, eternal God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #47 (1886) Lyrics: 1 High in the heavens, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That vails thy just and wise designs. 2 Forever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise as the wonders of thy hands, Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 O God, how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam, in distress, Fly to the shadow of thy wing. 4 In the provisions of thy house We still shall find a sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste.

Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: SDAH1886 #48 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will, Tumultuous passions all be still, Nor let a murmuring thought arise; His ways are just, his counsels wise. 2 In realms of cloudless light he dwells, Performs his work, the cause conceals; And though his footsteps are unknown, Judgment and truth support his throne. 3 In heaven and earth and air and seas He executes his firm decrees; And by his saints it stands confessed That what he does is ever best. 4 Wait, then, my soul, submissive wait, With reverence bow before his seat, And 'mid the terrors of his rod Trust in a wise and gracious God.

Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone

Author: Ernest Lange Hymnal: SDAH1886 #49 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone; Justice and truth before thee stand: Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 2 Each evening shows thy tender love, Each rising morn thy plenteous grace; Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, Thy willing mercy flies apace. 3 To thy benign, indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great Source of being, flow. 4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is thine; And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine.

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #50 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds! 2 Earth, from afar, hath heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But O! the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 3 God is in heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes, our words be few; A solemn reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.
