The Eternal and Sovereign God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 154 hymnals 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. Topics: God the Father Attributes

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals 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

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 127 hymnals 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

My soul, repeat His praise

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals 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.

A safe stronghold our God is still

Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, Our shield and surest weapon; He will deliver from the ill That hath us now o'ertaken. Our old deadly foe Now aims his last blow; Deep guile and strong power He boasteth in this hour: On earth is not his equal. 2 By strength of ours could naught be done; The strife full soon were ended, But for us fights the valiant One, By God himself commended. As you, "Who is He?" Christ Jesus! There see The Lord Saboath, Our God and Saviour both— He conquers in this battle. 3 Though devils all the earth should fill, Each watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill They cannot overpower us. The false prince of hell May rage, rave and swell; He harms not a hair, We shall escape his snare; Christ's lightest word shall stay him. 4 His word for ever shall abide, Our foes can ne'er destroy it, He standteh ever at our side, And cheers us by His Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, children, wife, When their worst is done, Yet have they nothing won-- We shall receive the kingdom. Topics: God the Son Condescension

See what a living stone

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See what a living stone The builders did refuse! Yet God hath built His church thereon, In spite of envious Jews. 2 The work, O Lord, is Thine, And wondrous in our eyes: This day declares it all divine, This day did Jesus rise. 3 Since He hath left the grave, His promises are true; And each exalted hope He have Confirmed of heaven we view. 4 Hosanna to the King Of David's royal blood! Bless Him, ye saints; He comes to bring Salvation from your God. 5 Oh come the happy hour, When all the world shall own Thy Son, O God, declared with power, And worship at Thy throne! 6 We bless Thy holy word, Which all this grace displays; And offer on Thine altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.

And with the angels bear thy part, Who all night long unwearied sing, "Glory to Thee, eternal King!" 3 I wake, I wake, ye heavenly choir! May your devotion me inspire; That I like you my age may spend, Like you may on my God attend. 4 May I like you in God delight, Have all day long my God in sight Perform like you my Maker's will: Oh may I never more do ill! 5 Glory to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept! Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. 6 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew: Scatter my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 7 Direct, control, suggest this day All I design, or do, or say, That all my power, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,364 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

Mistaken souls, that dream of heaven

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mistaken souls, that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys and sins forgiven, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head;-- 3 A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey our Father’s will, As well as trust His grace; A pardoning God requires us still To perfect holiness.
