Thou art, O God! a Spirit pure

Author: Rippon's Col. Hymnal: VoP1873 #43 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a Spirit pure, Invisible to mortal eyes; The immortal, and the eternal King, The great, the good, the only wise. 2 Whilst nature changes, and her works Corrupt, decay, dissolve, and die, Thy essence pure no change shall see, Secure of immortality. 3 Thou great Invisible! what hand Can draw thy image spotless fair? To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men the immortal King compare? 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heaven; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, the purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore; More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delights him more.

What is our God, or what his name

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #44 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; He dwells concealed in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach. 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, Compared with him, how short they fall! How dark are they, and he how bright! Nothing are they, and God is all. 3 He spoke the wondrous word, and lo! Creation rose at his command; Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, Bound in the hollow of his hand. 4 Then fly, my song, an endless round, The lofty tune let Gabriel raise; All nature dwell upon the sound, But we can ne'er fulfill the praise.

Shall foolish, weak, short sighted man

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #45 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man, Beyond the angels go-- The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know? 2 His attributes divinely soar Above the creature's sight, And prostrate seraphim adore The glorious Infinite. 3 The brightness of his glory leaves Description far below; Nor man's nor angel's heart conceives How deep his mercies flow. 4 His grace is most unsearchable, And dazzles all above; They gaze, but can not count or tell The treasures of his love.

Father, to thee my soul I lift

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #46 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, to thee my soul I lift; My soul on thee depends; Convinced that every perfect gift From thee alone descends. 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, And power and wisdom too: Without the Spirit of thy Son We nothing good can do. 3 We can not speak one useful word, One holy thought conceive, Unless, in answer to our Lord, Thyself the blessing give. 4 His blood demands the purchased grace; His blood's availing plea Obtained the help for all our race, And sends it down to me. 5 Thou all our works in us hast wrought; Our good is all divine: The praise of every virtuous thought, And righteous word, is thine. 6 From thee, through Jesus, we receive The power on thee to call, In whom we are, and move, and live; Our God is all in all.

O height immense! what words suffice, Thy countless attributes to show? 2 Greatness unspeakable is thine; Greatness, whose undiminished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and heaven are fled away. 3 Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life's unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by thy word, It lives, and moves, and is, from thee. 4 High is thy power above all height; Whate'er thy will decrees is done; Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!

Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #49 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name, And in his strength rejoice; When his salvation is our theme, Exalted be our voice. 2 With thanks approach his awful sight, And psalms of honor sing: The Lord's a God of boundless might, The whole creation's King. 3 Let princes hear, let angels know, How mean their natures seem, Those gods on high, and gods below, When once compared with him. 4 Earth, with its caverns dark and deep, Lies in his spacious hand; He fixed the sea what bounds to keep, And where the hills must stand. 5 Come, and with humble souls adore, Come, kneel before his face; Oh, may the creatures of his power Be children of his grace!

'Twas God who fixed the rolling spheres

Author: Martineau Hymnal: VoP1873 #50 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 'Twas God who fixed the rolling spheres, And stretched the boundless skies, Who formed the plain of endless years, And bade the ages rise. 2 From everlasting is his might, Immense and unconfined; He pierces through the realms of light, And rides upon the wind. 3 He darts along the burning sky, Loud thunders round him roar; Through worlds above, his terrors fly, While worlds below adore. 4 He speaks--great nature's wheels stand still, And leave their wonted round; The mountains melt; each trembling hill Forsakes it ancient bound. 5 Ye world, and every living thing, Fulfill his high command; Pay grateful homage to your King, And own his ruling hand.

The Lord--how fearful is his name!

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #51 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord--how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! Nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; While with a smile, or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 A word of his almighty breath Can swell or sink the seas; Build the vast empires of the earth, Or break them, as he please. 4 On angels, with unveiled face, His glory beams above; On men he looks with softest grace, And takes his title, Love. 5 Now let the Lord forever reign, And sway us as he will; Sick or in health, in ease or pain, We are his children still. 6 No more shall peevish passion rise, The tongue no more complain; 'Tis sovereign love that lends our joys, And love resumes again.

A VOICE in every gale, A tongue in every flower

Author: Miss Opie Hymnal: VoP1873 #52 (1873) Lyrics: 1 A VOICE in every gale, A tongue in every flower, Sets forth the wondrous tale Of thy almighty power. The birds that sing Proclaim thy praise; With voiceful Spring Their anthem raise. 2 Shall I be mute alone, 'Midst Nature's loud acclaim? My heart with answering tone Breathes forth thy holy name. Nature and time Shall cease to be; But God's own breath Still breathes in me. Topics: Attributes of God Omnipotence; God universally Adored
