Great God! how infinite art thou!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #33 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee, there's nothing old appears; To thee there's nothing new. 4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares, While thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs. 5 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Topics: Attributes of God Unity; The Same Scripture: Psalm 90:1-2

Infinite leagues beyond the sky

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #35 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Infinite leagues beyond the sky, The great Eternal reigns alone, Where neither wings nor souls can fly, Nor angels climb the topless throne. 2 The Lord of glory builds his seat Of gems insufferably bright, And lays beneath his sacred feet Substantial beams of gloomy night. 3 Yet, glorious Lord, thy gracious eyes Look through and cheer us from above; Beyond our praise thy grandeur flies; Yet we adore, and yet we love.

Thou didst, O mighty God, exist

Author: Mrs. Rowe Hymnal: VoP1873 #36 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou didst, O mighty God, exist Ere time began its race-- Before the ample elements Filled up the void of space. 2 Before the ponderous earthly globe In fluid air was stayed, Before the ocean's mighty springs Their liquid stores displayed-- 3 Ere through the gloom of ancient night The streaks of light appeared, Before the high celestial arch Or starry poles were reared-- 4 Ere man adored, or angels knew Or praised thy wondrous name, Thy bliss, O sacred Spring of life, And glory, were the same. 5 And when the pillars of the world With sudden ruin break, And all this vast and goodly frame Sinks in the mighty wreck-- 6 When from her orb the moon shall start, Th' astonished sun roll back, While all the trembling starry lamps Their ancient course forsake-- 7 Forever permanent and fixed, From agitation free, Unchanged in everlasting years Shall thy existence be.

Author: Hart Hymnal: VoP1873 #37 (1873) Lyrics: 1 This, this is the God we adore, Our faithful, unchangeable Friend, Whose love is as great as his power, And neither knows measure nor end: 'Tis Jesus, the first and the last, Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home; We'll praise him for all that is past, And trust him for all that's to come.

Through endless years thou art the same

Author: Tate; Brady Hymnal: VoP1873 #38 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Through endless years thou art the same, O thou eternal God; Each future age shall know thy name, And tell thy works abroad. 2 The strong foundations of the earth Of old by thee were laid; By thee the beauteous arch of heaven With matchless skill was made. 3 Soon may this goodly frame of things, Created by thy hand, Be, like a vesture, laid aside, And changed at thy command. 4 But thy perfections, all divine, Eternal as thy days, Through everlasting ages shine, With undiminished rays.

When Israel out of Egypt came

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #39 (1873) Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt came, And left the proud oppressor's land, Supported by the great I AM, Safe in the hollow of his hand, The Lord in Israel reigned alone, And Judah was his favorite throne. 2 The sea beheld his power, and fled, Disparted by the wondrous rod; Jordan ran backward to its head, And Sinai felt th' incumbent God; The mountains skipped like frightened rams, The hills leaped after them as lambs. 3 What ailed thee, O thou trembling sea? What horror turned the river back? Was nature's God displeased with thee? And why should hills or mountains shake? Ye mountains huge, that skipped like rams! Ye hills, that leaped as frightened lambs! 4 Earth, tremble on, with all thy sons, In presence of thy awful Lord, Whose power inverted nature owns, Her only law his sovereign word: He shakes the center with his rod, And heaven bows down to Jacob's God. 5 Creation, varied by his hand, The Omnipotent Jehovah knows; The sea is turned to solid land, The rock into a fountain flows: And all things, as they change, proclaim The Lord eternally the same.

Great Former of this various frame!

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #40 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame! Our souls adore thine awful name! And bow and tremble, while they praise The Ancient of eternal days. 2 Thou, Lord, with unsurprised survey, Sawest nature rising yesterday; And, as to-morrow, shall thine eye See earth and stars in ruin lie. 3 Beyond an angel's vision bright, Thou dwell'st in self-existent light, Which shines with undiminished ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with every circling sun; And though in self or sect we trust, A moth can crush us into dust.

God is a name my soul adores

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #41 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores-- The Almighty Three, the Eternal One; Nature and grace, with all their powers, Confess the Infinite Unknown. 2 Thy voice produced the seas and spheres, Bade the waves roar and planets shine: But nothing like thyself appears Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows-- From change to change the creatures run: Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 How shall polluted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of thy face. 5 Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might, None but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Attributes of God Immutability; Greatness of God

God is a Spirit, just and wise

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #42 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise He sees our inmost mind; In vain to heaven 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 bended knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.
