God is a Spirit, just and wise

Hymnal: BW1867 #18 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise, He sees our inmost mind: In vain to beaven we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before His throne With honor can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try our ways, And make our soul sincere; Then shall I stand before Thy face, And find acceptance there.

The Eternal and Sovereign God

Hymnal: BW1867 #19 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jehovah reigns; He dwells in light Lyrics: 1 Jehovah reigns; He dwells in light, Girded with majesty and might: The world, created by His hands, Still on its first foundation stands. 2 But ere this spacious world was made, Or had its first foundations laid, Thy throne eternal ages stood, Thyself, the ever-living God. 3 Like floods, the angry nations rise, And aim their rage against the skies: Vain floods, that aim their rage so high! At Thy rebuke the billows die. 4 For ever shall Thy throne endure; Thy promise stands for ever sure; And everlasting holiness Becomes the dwellings of Thy grace.

God exalted above all Praise

Hymnal: BW1867 #20 (1867) First Line: Parent of good! Thy works of might Lyrics: 1 Parent of good! Thy works of might I trace with wonder and delight; Thy name is all divine. There's naught in earth, or sea, or air, Or heaven itself, that's good or fair, But what is wholly Thine. 2 Immensely high Thy glories rise; They strike my soul with sweet surprise, And sacred pleasure yield; An ocean wide without a bound, Where ev'ry noble wish is drowned, And every want is filled. 3 To Thee my warm affections move, In sweet astonishment and love, While at Thy feet we fall; We pant for naught beneath the skies; To Thee our ardent wishes rise, Oh our eternal All! 4 What shall I do to spread Thy praise, My God! through our remaining days, Or how Thy name adore? To Thee we consecrate our breath; Let us be Thine in life and death, And Thine for evermore. Topics: God the Father Attributes Languages: English

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Hymnal: BW1867 #21 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines! How high Thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still; 3 But when we view Thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where vengeance and compassion join, In their divinest forms,-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor can a creature trace, Which of Thy glories brightest shone, Thy justice, or Thy grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may we bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune our heart, And love command our tongue. Topics: God the Father Attributes Languages: English

Lord, all I am is known to Thee!

Hymnal: BW1867 #22 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, all I am is known to Thee! In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, or to flee The notice of Thine eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to Thee, Lord, Before they’re formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word, Thou knowest the sense I mean. 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. Topics: God the Father Attributes Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

Holy and reverend is the name

Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love

Hymnal: BW1867 #24 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love, Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove, And help our misery. 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still; Thou dost with sinners bear; That saved, we may Thy goodness feel, And all Thy grace declare. 3 Thy goodness and Thy truth to me To every soul abound, A vast, unfathomable sea, Whose depth no thought can sound. 4 Its streams the whole creation reach, So plenteous is the store; Enough for all, enough for each, Enough for evermore. 5 Faithful, O Lord, Thy mercies are; A rock that cannot move: A thousand promises declare Thy constancy of love. 6 Throughout the universe it reigns, Unalterably sure; And while, O God, The truth remains, Thy goodness must endure.

My soul, repeat His praise

Hymnal: BW1867 #25 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins; And His forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Oh bless the Lord, my soul!

Hymnal: BW1867 #26 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh bless the Lord, my soul! Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His name, Whose favors are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And gives thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love When rescued from the grave; He that redeemed our souls from death Hath boundless power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest. The Lord hath judgments for the proud And mercy for th'oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His beloved Son.

Divine Goodness a Ground of Trust

Hymnal: BW1867 #27 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Give to the winds Thy fears Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds Thy fears, Hope, and be undismayed: God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves and clouds and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou His time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 What though thou rulest not, Yet heaven, and earth, and hell, Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 4 Thine everlasting truth, Father, Thy ceaseless love, Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows What best for each will prove. 5 And whatsoever Thou will'st, Thou dost, O King of kings; What Thine unerring wisdom plans, Thy power to being brings. 6 Let us in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare; And publish with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care.
