The Book of Nature and Scripture
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #37b (1790) Topics: Works and grace; Works and grace First Line: Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame Lyrics: 1 Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame
Declares the glories of thy name:
There thy rich works of wonder shine;
A thousand starry beauties there,
A thousand radiant marks appear
Of boundless power, and skill divine.
2 From night to day, from day to night,
The dawning and the dying light,
Lectures of heavenly wisdom read:
With silent eloquence they raise
Our thoughts to our Creator's praise,
And neither sound nor language need.
3 Yet their divine instructions run
Far as the journies of the sun,
And every nation knows their voice:
The sun, like some young bridegroom drest,
Breaks from the chambers of the east,
Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his beams abroad,
He smiles, and speaks his maker God:
All nature joins to shew thy praise:
Thus God in every creature shines;
Fair is the book of nature's lines,
But fairer is thy book of grace.
Pause.
5 I love the volumes of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distrest!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
6 From the discoveries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that hath the furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
7 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes,
And warn me where my danger lies;
But 'tis thy blessed gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty conscience clean,
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free, but large reward.
8 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God, forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain:
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace
And book of nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

All Ye That Fear Jehovah's Name
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #37 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Praise for God's Works Lyrics: 1 All ye that fear Jehovah's Name,
His glory tell, His praise proclaim;
Ye children of His chosen race,
Stand ye in awe before His face,
Stand ye in awe before His face.
2 The suffering One He has not spurned
Who unto Him for succor turned;
From Him He has not hid His face,
But answered His request in grace,
But answered His request in grace.
3 O Lord, Thy goodness makes Me raise
Amid Thy people songs of praise;
Before all them that fear Thee, now
I worship Thee and pay My vow,
I worship Thee and pay My vow.
4 For all the meek Thou wilt provide,
They shall be fed and satisfied;
All they that seek the Lord shall live
And never-ending praises give,
And never-ending praises give.
5 The ends of all the earth shall hear
And turn unto the Lord in fear;
All kindreds of the earth shall own
And worship Him as God alone,
And worship Him as God alone.
6 For His the kingdom, His of right,
He rules the nations by his might;
All earth to Him her homage brings,
The Lord of lords, the King of kings,
The Lord of lords, the King of kings.
7 Both rich and poor, both bond and free,
Shall worship Him with bended knee,
And children's children shall proclaim
The glorious honor of His Name,
The glorious honor of His Name.
8 The Lord's unfailing righteousness
All generations shall confess,
From age to age shall men be taught
What wondrous works the Lord has wrought,
What wondrous works the Lord has wrought. Scripture: Psalm 22 Languages: English Tune Title: PARK STREET

Songs of immortal Praise belong
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P111a (1766) Topics: God his wisdom in his works; Works and grace Lyrics: 1 Songs of immortal Praise belong
To my almighty GOD;
He has my Heart, and he my Tongue,
To spread his Name abroad.
2 How great the Works his Hand has wrought!
How glorious in our Sight!
And Men in ev'ry Age have sought
His Wonders with Delight.
3 How most exact is Nature's Frame!
How wise th' Eternal Mind!
His Counsels never change the Scheme
That his first Thoughts design'd.
4 When he redeem'd his chosen Sons,
He fix'd his Cov'nant sure;
The Orders that his Lips pronounce
To endless Years endure.
5 Nature and Time, and Earth and Skies
Thy heav'nly Skill proclaim:
What shall we do to make us wise,
But learn to read thy Name?
6 To fear thy Pow'r, to trust thy Grace,
Is our divinest Skill;
And he's the wisest of our Race
That best obeys thy Will. Scripture: Psalm 111 Languages: English

Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112b (1766) Topics: Good Works Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord,
Loves his Commands, and trusts his Word;
Honour and Peace his Days attend,
And Blessings to his Seed descend.
2 Compassion dwells upon his Mind,
To Works of Mercy still inclin'd;
He lends the Poor some present Aid,
Or gives them, not to be repaid.
3 When times grow dark, and Tidings spread
That fill his Neighbours round with Dread,
His Heart is arm'd against the Fear,
For GOD with all his Pow'r is there.
4 His Soul well fix'd upon the Lord,
Draws heav'nly Courage from his Word;
Amidst the Darkness Light shall rise,
To chear his Heart and bless his Eyes.
5 He hath dispers'd his Alms abroad;
His Works are still before his God;
His Name on Earth shall long remain,
While envious Sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Good works profit men, not God; Works good profit men, not God Lyrics:
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Of our Redeemer, God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,
Or trample on his blood?
What if he choose mysterious ways
To cleanse us from our faults?
May not the works of sovereign grace
Transcend our feeble thoughts?
What if his gospel bids us fight
With flesh, and self, and sin,
The prize is most divinely bright
That we are called to win.
What if the foolish and the poor
His glorious grace partake,
This but confirms his truth the more,
For so the prophets spake.
Do some that own his sacred name
Indulge their souls in sin?
Jesus should never bear the blame,
His laws are pure and clean.
Then let our faith grow firm and strong,
Our lips profess his word;
Nor blush nor fear to walk among
The men that love the Lord.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
