The Unity of God

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #II (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal God! Almighty cause Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! Almighty cause Of earth and seas and worlds unknown; All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possest; Control'd by none are thy commands; Thou from thyself alone art blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heav'n and earth due homage pay; All other Gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 Spread thy great name thro' heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Reduce the world to thy command, And reign, as thou art, God alone.

Old Age approaching, or man frail and mortal

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Eternal God, enthroned on high Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Whom angel-hosts adore; Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh, Thy presence I implore. 2 O guide me down the steep of age, And keep my passions cool; Teach me to scan the sacred page, And practice every rule. 3 My flying years time urges on, What's human must decay; My friends, my young companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 4 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no—then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends; Support me with almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless anthems pay. 7 Thro' heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great redeemer's name.

God exalted above all Praise

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #XXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal Power! whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite length, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall Arch-angel tries To reach the height with wondering eyes. 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, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name, But O the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in Heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes; our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.
