There's not a tint that paints the rose

Author: Wallace Hymnal: VoP1873 #23 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There's not a tint that paints the rose, Or decks the lily fair, Or streaks the humbles flower that blows, But God has placed it there. 2 There's not a star whose twinkling light Illumes the distant earth, And cheers the solemn gloom of night, But goodness gave it birth. 3 There's not a cloud whose dews distill Upon the parching clod, And clothe with verdure vale and hill, That is not sent by God. 4 There's not a place in earth's vast round, In ocean's deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not found; For God is everywhere. 5 Around, beneath, below, above, Wherever space extends, There heaven displays its boundless love, And power with goodness blends.

Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #24 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad, Through the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 't is formed again. 5 Descend, celestial fire, And seize me from above; Melt me in flames of pure desire, A sacrifice to love. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Addison Hymnal: VoP1873 #25 (1873) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball-- What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found-- In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine.

I sing of God--the world he made

Author: Smart Hymnal: VoP1873 #26 (1873) Lyrics: 1 I sing of God--the world he made, The glorious light, the soothing shade; Dale, plain, and grove, and hill; The wide and fathomless abyss, Where nature joys in secret bliss, And wisdom hides her skill. 2 Tell them, I AM, Jehovah said: The listening earth did hear in dread; And, smitten to the heart, At once, above, beneath, around, All nature, without voice or sound, Replied, O Lord, THOU" ART!

We need not soar above the skies

Author: T. H. Stockton Hymnal: VoP1873 #27 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We need not soar above the skies, Leave suns and stars below, And seek thee, with unclouded eyes, In all that angels know; The very breath we now inhale, The pulse in every heart, Attest with force that can not fail, Thou art--O God! thou art! 2 If, 'midst the ever-during songs Of universal joy-- The chime of worlds and chant of tongues-- The praise that we employ May breathe its music in thine ear, Its meaning in thy heart, Our glad confession deign to hear Thou art--O God! thou art!

The Spirit moved upon the waves

Author: Ferguson Hymnal: VoP1873 #28 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit moved upon the waves That darkly rolled, a shoreless sea; He spake the word, and light burst forth A glorious, bright immensity. 2 At his command, the mountains heaved Their rocky pinnacles on high, Island and continent displayed Their desert grandeur to the sky. 3 The voice of God was heard again, And lovely flowers and graceful trees Appeared on every vale and plain, And perfumes floated on the breeze. 4 The word went forth, and vast and high The heavenly orbs gave out their light, O'er all the earth and sea and sky-- The rulers of the day and night.

Great First of beings! mighty Lord

Author: Epis. Col. Hymnal: VoP1873 #29 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great First of beings! mighty Lord Of all this wondrous frame! Produced by thy creating word, The world from nothing came. 2 Thy voice sent forth the high command, 'Twas instantly obeyed; And through thy goodness all things stand, Which by thy power were made. 3 Lord! for thy glory shine the whole; They all reflect thy light: For this in course the planets roll, And day succeeds the night. 4 For this the sun disperses heat, And beams of cheering day; And distant stars, in order set, By night thy power display. 5 For this the earth its produce yields, For this the waters flow; And blooming plants adorn the fields, And trees aspiring grow. 6 Inspired with praise, our minds pursue This wise and noble end-- That all we think, and all we do, Shall to thine honor tend.

Eternal God! almighty cause

Author: Browne Hymnal: VoP1873 #30 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 possessed; By none controlled in thy commands, And in thyself completely blessed. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heaven and earth due homage pay; All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 In thee, O Lord, our hope shall rest, Fountain of peace and joy and love! Thy favor only makes us blest; Without thee all would nothing prove. 5 Worship to thee alone belongs; Worship to thee alone we give; Thine be our hearts and thine our songs, And to thy glory let us live. 5 Spread thy great name through heathen lands; Their idol deities dethrone; Subdue the world to thy commands, And reign, as thou art, God alone.

When God--neglected or denied

Author: T. H. Stockton Hymnal: VoP1873 #31 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When God--neglected or denied-- From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, How soon the erring myriads strove With phantom forms to fill his place! 2 On every hill, by every stream, All homes within, all waysides near, The hallowed idols senseless stood-- The helpless suppliants bowed with fear. 3 With gods for every foot of land, And every pause of passing time, In life no soothing peace they found, In death no heavenly hope sublime. 4 O Thou, the true and living God! Maker of all above--below, Eternal--self-existent One! How blest are we thy name to know! 5 One God--enlightened faith adores; One God--harmonious nature cries; One God--our common Sire and Lord, The brotherhood of mind replies. 6 To thee--Supreme!--to thee alone, Be hymns of highest glory sung; The source of joy to every hear, The theme of praise to every tongue.

Some seraph, lend your heavenly tongue

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #32 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Some seraph, lend your heavenly tongue, Or harp of golden string, That I may raise a lofty song To our eternal King. 2 Thy names, how infinite they be! Great, Everlasting One! Boundless thy might and majesty, And unconfined thy throne. 3 Thy glory shines immensely bright; Exhaustless is thy grace; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, And Gabriel veils his face. 4 Thine essence is a vast abyss, Which angels can not sound; An ocean of infinities, Where all our thoughts are drowned.
