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

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.

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

Praise to God for his Goodness and Truth
Appears in 527 hymnals Topics: Creatures no trust in them; Trust in the Creatures vain; Creatures no trust in them; Trust in the Creatures vain First Line: I'll praise my Maker with my breath Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker with my breath;
And when my voice is lost in death
Praise shall employ my nobler powers:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life and thought and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 Why should I make a man my trust?
Princes must die and turn to dust;
Vain is the help of flesh and blood;
Their breath departs, their pomp and power
And thoughts all vanish in an hour,
Nor can they make their promise good.
3 Happy the man, whose hopes rely
On Israel's God; he made the sky,
And earth and seas with all their train;
His truth forever stands secure:
He saves th' opprest, he feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
4 The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He sends the labouring conscience peace
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
5 He loves his saints, he knows them well,
But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion ever reigns;
Let every tongue, let every age,
In this exalted work engage:
Praise him in everlasting strains.
6 I'll praise him while he lends me breath,
And when my voice is lost in death
Praise shall employ my nobler powers;
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146

Thankful Commemoration
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Over His Creatures First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for it is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good
To sing unto our God;
'Tis right and pleasant for His saints
To tell His praise abroad.
The Lord our God builds up His Church,
He seeks her wand'ring sons;
He binds their wounds and gently leads,
The brokenhearted ones.
2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name
And counts the stars of night;
His wisdom is unsearchable,
And wondrous is His might.
The Lord upholds the poor and meek,
He brings the wicked low;
Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks
And all His goodness show.
3 No human might, no earthly pride
Delights the Lord above;
In those who fear Him He delights,
In those that trust His love.
O Zion, praise the Lord thy God,
His wondrous love confess;
He is thy glory and thy strength,
He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

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.]
