Omnipotence; or, the power and Providence of God

Author: Merrick Hymnal: SHBA1792 #VII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye servants of your God, his fame Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of your God, his fame In songs of highest praise proclaim: Ye who, on his commands intent, The courts of Israel's Lord frequent. 2 Him praise the everlasting king, And mercy's unexhausted spring: Haste, to his name your voices rear; What name like his the heart can cheer? 3 Thy greatness, Lord, my thoughts attest, With awful gratitude impress'd, Nor know among the seats divine, A power that shall contend with thine, 4 O thou, whose all-disposing sway, The heavens, the earth, and seas obey; Whose might through all extent extends, Sinks through all depth, all height transcends; 5 From earth's low margin to the skies, Now bids he pregnant vapors rise, The lightning's pallid sheet expands, And glads with show'rs the furrow'd lands: 6 Now from thy storehouse, built on high, Permits the imprison'd winds to fly, And, guided by thy will, to sweep The surface of the foaming deep. 7 Him praise, the everlasting king, And mercy's unexhasuted spring: Haste, to his name your voices rear; What name like his the heart can cheer?

God's only Son, in flesh array'd, For man a bleeding victim made. 6 Thither, my soul, with rapture soar; There in the land of praise adore: The theme demands an angel's lay, Demands an everlasting day.

Behold the man

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye that pass by, behold the man Lyrics: 1 Ye that pass by, behold the man, The man of grief condemn'd for you, The Lamb of God for sinners slain, Weeping to Calvary pursue. 2 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear, With nails they fasten to the wood— His sacred limbs— expos'd and bare, Or only cover'd with his blood. 3 See there! his temples crown'd with thorns, His bleeding hands extended wide, His streaming feet transfix'd and torn, The fountain gushing from his side. 4 Thou dear, thou suffering Son of God, How doth thy heart to sinners move! Sprinkle on us thy precious blood, And melt us with thy dying love! 5 The earth could to her centre quake, Convuls'd when her Creator died; O may our inmost nature shake, And bow with Jesus crucified! 6 At thy last gasp the graves display'd Their horrors to the upper skies; O that our souls might burst the shade, And, quicken'd by thy death, arise! 7 The rocks could feel thy powerful death, And tremble, and asunder part; O rend, with thy expiring breath, The harder marble of our heart.
