God, help us make your glories known

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: God, help us make your glories known, your works of power and grace: and we'll convey your wonders on to each and every race, remembering how you split the sea, and showed a pathway through; the watery walls defined the way as Israelites fled their foe. Your wondrous pillar marked their road, a guide of shade and light; by day it proved a sheltering cloud, a leading fire by night. Their need for water was supplied, abundant waters fell! A rock gushed rivers by their side — a constant miracle. And manna, like a morning shower, lay thick around their feet: the corn of heaven, so light, so pure, was their angelic meat. God, all may learn that you alone are where our hope shall stand, for we can see your glorious works, and yield to your commands Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: FARLEIGH WICK Text Sources: Psalm 78, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Parts, alt.

No tongue can frame an honor equal to your name! God, hold creation in your hand, poised and secure, it thus shall stand. You set the sun its circling race, appoint the moon to change its face; and when thick darkness veils the day, send winds to blow the clouds away. Vast are your works, Almighty Lord, all nature rests upon your word. Let every race of creatures stand, to gain its portion from your hand; all those that trust will see your face; you bless them with your sovereign grace. In you my hopes and wishes meet, and make my meditation sweet; my soul shall sing with joy and praise, as it fulfills its length of days.
