Thou Lord art good, not only good

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord, art good, not only good, But prompt to pardon too; Of plenteous mercy to all those, Who for thy mercy sue. 2 To my repeated humble pray'r, O Lord, attentive be! When troubled, I on thee will call, For thou wilt answer me. 3 Among the Gods there's none like thee, O Lord, alone divine! To thee as much inferiour they, As are their works to thine. 4 Therefore their great Creator, thee, The nations shall adore; Their long misguided pray'rs and praise To thy blest name restore. 5 All shall confess thee great, and great The wonders thou hast done; Confess thee God, the God supreme, Confess thee God alone.

God of eternity, from thee

Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of eternity, from thee Did infant time his being draw; Moments and days, and months, and years, Revolve by thy unvaried law. 2 Silent and slow they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows; Lost in eternity’s vast sea, The boundless gulf from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapids streams are borne On to that everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Yet while the shore on either side Presents a gaudy, flatt'ring shew, They gaze, in fond amazement lost, Nor think to what a world they go. 5 Great Source of Wisdom, teach my heart To know the price of every hour; That time may bear me on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.

Almighty Author of our frame

Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty Author of our frame, To thee our vital pow'rs belong; Thy praise, (delightful, glorious theme!)

But may our songs with angels join, Nor sacred awe forbid the joy! 3 Thy glories, the seraphick lyre, On all its strings attempts in vain; Then how shall mortals dare aspire, In thought, to try th' unequal strain? 4 Yet the Sov'reign of the skies To mortals bends a gracious ear; Nor the mean tribute will despise, If offer'd with a heart sincere. 5 Great God, accept the humble praise, And guide our heart, and guide our tongue, While to thy name we trembling raise The grateful, though unworthy, song.

Thou on the souls of all mankind Dost with benignest influence move; Pleas'd to restore a sinful race, And new create a world of grace In all the image of thy love.
