The Spacious Firmament on High
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 785 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heav'ns, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
Th'unwearied sun, from day to day
does his Creator's power display,
and publishes to ev'ry 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 list'ning 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 nor sound
amidst their radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice;
forever singing, as they shine,
"The hand that made us is divine."

Exalt the LORD, His Praise Proclaim
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Exalt the LORD, his praise proclaim;
all you his servants, praise his name,
who in the LORD's house ever stand
and humbly serve at his command.
The LORD is good, his praise proclaim;
since it is pleasant, praise his name.
His people for his own he takes
and his own special treasure makes.
2 I know the LORD is high in state;
above all gods our Lord is great.
The LORD performs what he decrees,
in heaven and earth, in depths and seas.
He makes the vapors to ascend
in clouds from earth's remotest end;
the lightnings flash at his command;
he holds the tempest in his hand.
3 Exalt the LORD, his praise proclaim;
all you his servants, praise his name,
who in the LORD's house ever stand
and humbly serve at his command.
Forever praise and bless his name,
and in the church his praise proclaim.
In Zion is his dwelling place;
O praise the LORD, show forth his grace.

Far as creation's bounds extend
Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far as creation's bounds extend,
Thy mercies, heavenly Lord, descend;
One chorus of perpetual praise
To Thee Thy various works shall raise;
Thy saints to Thee in hymns impart
The transports of a grateful heart.
2 They chant the splendours of Thy name,
Delighted with the wondrous theme;
And bid the world's wide realms admire
The glories of the Almighty Sire,
Whose throne all nature's wreck survives,
Whose power through endless ages lives.
3 From Thee, great God, while every eye
Expectant waits the wished supply,
Their bread proportioned to the day,
Thy opening hands to each convey;
In every sorrow of the heart
Eternal mercy bears a part.
4 Who ask Thine aid with heart sincere
Shall find Thy succours ever near;
To Thee their prayer in each distress
Thy suffering servants, Lord, address;
And prove Thee, verging on the grave,
Nor slow to hear, nor weak to save.

God's Glory Fills the Heavens
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns;
the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark.
New praises sound from day to day
and echo through the knowing dark.
Without a word their songs roll on;
into all lands their voices run.
And with a champion’s strength and grace
from farthest heaven comes forth the sun.
2 God’s perfect law revives the soul;
its precepts make the simple wise.
Its just commands rejoice the heart;
its truth gives light unto the eyes.
Forever shall this law endure:
unblemished, righteous, true, complete.
No gold we ever found so fine,
no honey in the comb more sweet.
3 God’s servant may I ever be:
this world my joy, that word my guide.
O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin;
deliver me from selfish pride.
Accept my thoughts and words and deeds;
let them find favor in your sight.
For you alone can make me whole,
O LORD, my refuge and my might.
