Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 378 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 First Line: High in the heav'ns, eternal God Lyrics: High in the heav'ns, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens thy designs. For ever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. My God! how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort springs! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wings. From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word.

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Author: Walter Chambers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small; In all life Thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee. 4 Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All praise we would render; O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: When man grows bold in sin, My heart within me cries, "He hath no faith of God within, Nor fear before his eyes. [He walks awhile concealed In a self-flatt'ring dream, Till his dark crimes at once revealed Expose his hateful name.] His heart is false and foul, His words are smooth and fair; Wisdom is banished from his soul, And leaves no goodness there. He plots upon his bed New mischiefs to fulfil He sets his heart, and hand, and head, To practise all that's ill. But there's a dreadful God, Though men renounce his fear; His justice, hid behind the cloud, Shall one great day appear. His truth transcends the sky, In heav'n his mercies dwell; Deep as the sea his judgments lie, His anger burns to hell. How excellent his love, Whence all our safety springs! O never let my soul remove From underneath his wings.

Psalm 36

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5-7 First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: While men grow bold in wicked ways, And yet a God they own, My heart within me often says, "Their thoughts believe there's none." Their thoughts and ways at once declare, Whate'er their lips profess, God hath no wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek his grace. What strange self-flatt'ry blinds their eyes! But there's a hast'ning hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power. Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgments are a world unknown, A deep, unfathomed sea. Above the heav'ns' created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds Where time and nature end. Safety to man thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of thy wings Thy children choose to rest. [From thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day, Where clouds can never rise.] Topics: Atheism practical; Flattery and deceit complained of; Practical atheism; Wickedness of man; Grace and providence; Attributes of God; God his being, attributes, and providence; God His perfections; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Perfections of God; Praise for providence and grace; Providence and grace; Providence and perfections of God

He justly claims a song from me, his loving-kindness is so free. Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, his loving-kindness is so free. 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, yet loved me not withstanding all, and saved me from my lost estate, his loving-kindness is so great. Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, his loving-kindness is so great. 3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes, where earth and hell my way oppose, he safely leads my soul along, his loving-kindness is so strong. Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, his loving-kindness is so strong. 4 So when I pass death's gloomy vale, and life and mortal pow'rs shall fail, O may my last expiring breath his loving-kindness sing in death. Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, his loving-kindness sing in death. 5 Then shall I mount, and soar away to the bright world of endless day; there shall I sing, with sweet surprise, his loving-kindness in the skies, Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving-kindness in the skies.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson (1735-1790) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,200 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5-12 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious measure, sung by flaming tongues above; O the vast, the boundless treasure of my God's unchanging love. 2 Here I make faith's affirmation: thus far by thy help I've come, and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; take my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
