Thy words to me are life and health
Upon the hills of holiness
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the hills of holiness
he his foundation sets.
2 God, more than Jacob’s dwellings all,
delights in Zion’s gates.
3 Things glorious are said of thee,
thou city of the Lord.
4 Rahab and Babel I as those
that know me will record
Lo, Tyrus, and with it the land
where dwells the Philistine,
and likewise Ethiopia;
this one was born therein.
5 Of Zion shall be said, This man
and that man born was there.
and he that is the Lord most high
himself shall stablish her.
6 When God the people writes, he’ll count
that this man born was there.
7 The singers as the players say,
my well-springs in thee are. Used With Tune: ST GREGORY

Who can resist th' Almighty arm
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who can resist th’ Almighty arm
that made the starry sky?
or who elude the certain glance
of God’s all-seeing eye?
2 From him no cov’ring vails our crimes;
hell opens to his sight;
and all Destruction’s secret snares
lie full disclos'd in light.
3 Firm on the boundless void of space
he pois'd the steady pole,
and in the circle of his clouds
bade secret waters roll.
4 While nature’s universal frame
its Maker’s pow'r reveals,
his throne, remote from mortal eyes
an awful cloud conceals.
5 From where the rising day ascends,
to where it sets in night,
he compasses the floods with bounds,
and checks their threat’ning might.
6 The pillars that support the sky
tremble at his rebuke;
through all its caverns quakes the earth,
as though its centre shook.
7 He brings the waters from their beds,
although no tempest blows,
and smites the kingdom of the proud
without the hand of foes.
8 With bright inhabitants above
he fills the heav'nly land,
and all the crooked serpent’s breed
dismay'd before him stand.
9 Few of his works can we survey;
these few our skill transcend:
but the full thunder of his pow’r
what heart can comprehend?
Scripture: Job 26:6-14 Used With Tune: ST GREGORY
