Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #9 (1917) Lyrics: 1. Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and He destroy. 2. His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. 3. We'll crowd Thy gates with songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 4. Wide as the world is Thy command; Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #10 (1917) 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. Thee, while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings; And ranks of shining thrones around Fall worshipping, and spread the ground. 3. Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too! From sin and dust to Thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High. 4. Earth from afar hath heard Thy fame, And men have learned to lisp Thy name: But, O! the glories of Thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind! 5. 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.

God is a name my soul adores

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #12 (1917) Lyrics: 1. God is a name my soul adores, The almighty Three, the eternal One; Nature and grace, with all their powers, Confess the Infinite Unknown. 2. Thy voice produced the sea and spheres, Bade the waves roar, the planets shine; But nothing like Thyself appears Through all these spacious works of Thine. 3. Still restless nature dies and grows, From change to change the creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all Thy vast designs are one. 4. A glance of Thine runs through the globe. Rules the bright worlds, and moves their frame; Of light Thou form'st Thy dazzling robe. Thy ministers are living flame. 5. How shall polluted mortals dare To sing Thy glory or Thy grace? Beneath Thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of Thy face. 6. Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but Thy wisdom knows Thy might, None but Thy Word can speak Thy name.

By faith we know Thee strong to save; Save us, a present Saviour Thou! Whate'er we hope, by faith we have, Future and past subsisting now. 4. To him that in Thy name believes Eternal life with Thee is given; Into himself he all receives, Pardon, and holiness, and heaven. 5.

God of my life, through all my days

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #14 (1917) Lyrics: 1. God of my life, through all my days, My grateful powers shall sound Thy praise; My song shall wake with opening And cheer the dark and silent night. 2. When anxious cares would break my rest, And griefs would tear my throbbing breast, Thy tuneful praises, raised on high, Shall check the murmur and the sigh. 3. When death o'er nature shall prevail, And all the powers of language fail, Joy through my swimming eyes shall break And mean the thanks I cannot speak. 4. But O, when that last conflict's o'er, And I am chained to earth no more, With what glad accents shall I rise To join the music of the skies! 5. Soon shall I learn the exalted strains Which echo through the heavenly plains; And emulate, with joy unknown, The glowing seraphs round the throne. 6. The cheerful tribute will I give, Long as a deathless soul shall live; A work so sweet, a theme so high, Demands and crowns eternity.

Lo! God is here! let us adore

Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; G. Tersteegen, 1697-1769 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #15 (1917) Lyrics: 1. Lo! God is here! let us adore, And own how dreadful in this place! Let all within us feel His power, And silent bow before His face; Who know His power, His grace who prove, Serve Him with awe, with reverence love. 2. Lo! God is here! Him day and night United choirs of angels sing; To Him, enthroned above all height, Heaven's host their noblest praises bring; Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise Thee with a stammering tongue. 3. Gladly the toys of earth we leave, Wealth, pleasure, fame, for Thee alone; To Thee our will, soul, flesh, we give; O take, O seal them for Thine own! For Thou art God, Thou at the Lord; Be Thou by all Thy works adored. 4. Being of beings! may our praise Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill; Still may we stand before Thy face, Still hear and do Thy sovereign will; To Thee may all our thoughts arise, Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice. 5. As flowers their opening leaves display, And glad drink in the solar fire, So may we catch Thy every ray, So may Thy influence us inspire; Thou Beam of the eternal Beam, Thou purging Fire, Thou quickening Flame.

I'll praise my Maker while I've breath

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; J. Wesley, 1703-1791 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #16 (1917) Lyrics: 1. I'll praise my Maker while I've 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 though, and being last, Or immorality endures. 2. Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God; He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth for ever stands secure, He saves the opprest, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain. 3. The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 4. 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.

O God, of good the unfathomed Sea!

Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; J. Scheffler, 1624-1677 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #17 (1917) Lyrics: 1. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, Lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite? 2. Thou shin'st with everlasting rays; Before the insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet, free as air Thy bounty streams On all Thy works; Thy mercy's beams Diffusive, as Thy sun's, arise. 3. High throned on heaven's eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure still Thou sweetly orderest all that is: And yet Thou deign'st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I, with Thee Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss. 4. Fountain of good, all blessing flows From Thee; no want Thy fulness knows; What but Thyself canst Thou Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart; This, only this, dost Thou require. 5. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea! Who would not give his heart to Thee? Who would not love Thee with his might? O Jesus, Lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength, to Thee unite?
