The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 792 hymnals 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: Whilst 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 this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice or sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night: Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. 2 Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. 3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Amen.

O God, in Whose all-searching eye

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, in Whose all-searching eye Thy servants stand, to ratify The vow baptismal, by them made, When first Thy hand was on them laid; Bless them, O Holy Father, bless, Who Thee, with heart and voice confess; May they, acknowledged as Thine own, Stand evermore before Thy throne. 2 O Christ, Who didst at Pentecost Send down from heaven the Holy Ghost; And at Samaria baptize Those whom Thou didst evangelize; And then on Thy baptized confer The best of gifts, the Comforter, By apostolic hands, and prayer; Be with us now, as Thou wert there. 3 Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord, With shield of faith, and Spirit's sword; Forth to the battle may they go, And boldly fight against the foe, With banner of the cross unfurled, And by it overcome the world; And so at last receive from Thee The palm and crown of victory. 4 Come, ever blessèd Spirit, come, And make Thy servant's hearts Thy home; Thus consecrated, Lord, to Thee, May each a living temple be. Enrich that temple's holy shrine With sevenfold gifts of grace divine; With wisdom, light, and knowledge, bless, Strength, counsel, fear, and godliness. Amen.

In Vision to His Saints God Spake

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: In vision to His saints God spake: Lyrics: 1. In vision to His saints God spake: “From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 2. “No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And nevermore My grace remove. Yea, he shall triumph in My name, And great shall be his power and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o’er the land. 3. “‘Thou art my Father,’ He shall cry, ‘My God, my rock of refuge high’; My firstborn Son shall He be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant with Him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 4. “Should sons of His My laws forsake, My just commands and statutes break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove. Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake. 5. My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My Servant’s race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away. On Thine anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned His kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down. 6. He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon Him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is His kingly sway. Cut off in youth, His sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 7. Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for naught? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? Where are Thy mercies which of old Were in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thine own Anointed’s name. 8. I sing of mercies that endure Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies. Blest be the Lord forevermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His name. Amen, Amen.
