Psalm 33 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Creatures no trust in them; Creatures vain, and God all-sufficient First Line: Blest is the nation where the Lord Lyrics:
Blest is the nation where the Lord
Hath fixed his gracious throne,
Where he reveals his heav'nly word,
And calls their tribes his own.
His eye with infinite survey
Does the whole world behold;
He formed us all of equal clay,
And knows our feeble mold.
Kings are not rescued by the force
Of armies from the grave;
Nor speed nor courage of a horse
Can the bold rider save.
Vain is the strength of beasts or men,
To hope for safety thence;
But holy souls from God obtain
A strong and sure defence.
God is their fear, and God their trust;
When plagues or famine spread,
His watchful eye secures the just
Among ten thousand dead.
Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice,
And bless us from thy throne;
For we have made thy word our choice,
And trust thy grace alone.
Scripture: Psalm 33

Emancipation from Spiritual Slavery
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Over His Creatures First Line: Rebels, who had dared to show Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show
Proud contempt of God Most High,
Bound in iron and in woe,
Shades of death and darkness night,
Humbled low with toil and pain,
Fell, and looked for help in vain.
2 To Jehovah then they cried
In their trouble, and He saved,
Threw the prison open wide
Where they lay to death enslaved,
Bade the gloomy shadows flee,
Broke their bonds and set them free.
3 Sons of men, awake to praise
God the Lord Who reigns above,
Gracious in His works and ways,
Wondrous in redeeming love;
Iron bars He breaks like clay,
And the brazen gates give way.
Scripture: Psalm 107 Used With Tune: DIX

The Greatness of God in Nature
Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Over His Creatures First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great,
With glory arrayed, majestic His state;
The light is His garment, the skies are His shade,
And over the waters His courts He has laid.
2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm,
The lightning and wind His mission perform;
The earth He has founded her station to keep,
And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep.
3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged;
His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged;
Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound,
Forbidding the waters to cover the ground.
4 He causes the springs of water to flow
In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below;
Beside them with singing the birds greet the day.
And there the beast gather their thirst to allay.
Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS

Universal praise to GOD
Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Praise from all creatures First Line: Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord,
From distant Worlds where Creatures dwell;
Let Heav'n begin the solemn Word,
And sound it dreadful down to Hell.
2 The Lord! how absolute he reigns!
Let ev'ry Angel bend the Knee;
Sing of his Love in heav'nly Strains,
And speak how fierce his Terrors be.
3 High on a Throne his Glories dwell,
An awful Throne of shining Bliss;
Fly through the World, O Sun, and tell
How dark thy Beams compar'd to his.
4 Awake ye Tempests, and his Fame
In Sounds of dreadful Praise declare;
And the sweet Whisper of his Name
Fill ev'ry gentler Breeze of Air.
5 Let Clouds, and Winds, and Waves agree
To join their Praise with blazing Fire;
Let the firm Earth and rolling sea
In this eternal song conspire.
6 Ye flow'ry Plains, proclaim his Skill;
Vallies lie low before his Eye;
And let his Praise from ev'ry Hill
Rise tuneful to the neighb'ring Sky.
7 Ye stubborn Oaks, and stately Pines,
Bend your high Branches and adore:
Praise him, ye Beasts, in diff'rent Strains;
The Lamb must bleat, the Lion roar.
8 Birds, ye must make his Praise your Theme,
Nature demands a Song from you;
While the dumb Fish that cut the Stream
Leap up, and mean his Praises too.
9 Mortals, can you refrain your Tongue,
When Nature all around you sings?
O for a Shout from Old and Young,
From humble swains and lofty Kings!
10 Wide as his vast Dominion lies
Make the Creator's Name be known;
Loud as his Thunder shout his Praise,
And sound it lofty as his Throne.
11 Jehovah! 'tis a glorious Word,
O may it dwell on ev'ry Tongue!
But Saints, who best have known the Lord,
Are bound to raise the noblest Song.
12 Speak of the Wonders of that Love
Which Gabriel plays on ev'ry Chord:
From all below, and all above,
Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 148

The Glories of my Maker God
Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Creatures praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 The Glories of my Maker God
My joyful Voice shall sing,
And call the Nations to adore
Their Former and their King.
2 'Twas his Right Hand that shap'd our Clay,
And wrought this human Frame;
But from his own immediate Breath
Our nobler Spirits came.
3 We bring our mortal Pow'rs to God,
And worship with our Tongues;
We claim some Kindred with the Skies,
And join th' Angelic songs.
4 Let grov'ling Beasts of ev'ry Shape,
And Fowls of ev'ry Wing,
And Rocks, and Trees, and Fires, and seas,
Their various Tribute bring.
5 Ye Planets to his Honour shine,
And Wheels of Mature roll,
Praise him in your unwearied Course
Around the steady Pole.
6 The Brightness of our Maker's Name
The wide Creation fills,
And his unbounded Grandeur flies
Beyond the heav'nly Hills.

Psalm 8
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; Man dominion over creatures First Line: O Lord, our heav'nly King Lyrics:
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.
When to thy works on high
I raise my wondering eyes,
And see the moon, complete in light,
Adorn the darksome skies
When I survey the stars,
And all their shining forms,
Lord, what is man, that worthless thing,
Akin to dust and worms?
Lord, what is worthless man,
That thou shouldst love him so?
Next to thine angels is he placed,
And lord of all below.
Thine honors crown his head,
While beasts, like slaves, obey;
And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.
How rich thy bounties are!
And wondrous are thy ways
Of dust and worms thy power can frame
A monument of praise.
[Out of the mouths of babes
And sucklings thou canst draw
Surprising honors to thy name,
And strike the world with awe.
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.]

Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Dominion of Man over Creatures; Dominion of Man over Creatures First Line: With my whole heart I'll raise my song Lyrics: 1 With my whole heart I'll raise my song,
Thy wonders I'll proclaim,
Thou sovereign judge of right and wrong
Wilt put my foes to shame.
2 I'll sing thy majesty and grace;
My God prepares his throne
To judge the world in righteousness,
And make his vengeance known.
3 Then shall the Lord a refuge prove
For all the poor opprest;
To save the people of his love,
And give the weary rest.
4 The men that know thy name will trust
In thy abundant grace;
For thou hast ne'er forsook the just,
Who humbly seek thy face.
5 Sing praises to the righteous Lord,
Who dwells on Zion's Hill,
Who executes his threat'ning word,
Whose works his grace fulfil. Scripture: Psalm 9:12

Christ's condescension and glorification; or, God made man
Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Man dominion over creatures; Man dominion over creatures First Line: O Lord, our Lord, how wondrous great Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heavenly state
Let men and babes proclaim.
2 When I behold your works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
The shining stars that grace the sky,
Those moving worlds of light.
3 Lord, what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou should'st visit him with grace,
And love my nature so?
4 That thine eternal Son should bear
To take a mortal form,
Made lower than the angels are,
To save a dying worm?
[5 Yet while he liv'd on earth unknown,
And men would not adore,
Behold obedient nature own,
His Godhead and his power.
6 The waves lay spread beneath his feet;
And fish at his command,
Bring their large shoals to Peter's net,
Bring tribute to his hand.
7 These smaller glories of the Son,
Shone through the fleshy cloud;
Now we behold him on his throne,
And men confess him God.
8 Let him with majesty be crown'd,
Who bow'd his head to death;
And his eternal honours sound,
From all things that have breath.
9 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heavenly state
Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8
Christ's condescension and glorification; or, God made man
