Divine Providence in Air, Earth and Sea; or, The God of Nature and Grace

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #111 (1790) Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea; Providence in air, earth, and sea First Line: The God of our Salvation hears Lyrics: 1 The God of our Salvation hears The groans of Sion mix'd with tears; Yet when he comes with kind designs, Through all the way his terror shines. 2 On him the race of man depends, Far as the earth's remotest ends, Where the Creator's name is known, By nature's feeble light alone. 3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood, Address their frighted souls to God, When tempests rage and billows roar At dreadful distance from the shore. 4 He bids the noisy tempest cease; He calms the raging crowd to peace, When a tumultuous nation raves, Wild as the winds, and loud as waves. 5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm, He settles in a peaceful form, Mountains establish'd by his hand Firm on their old foundation stand. 6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky, New comets blaze, and lightnings fly; The Heathen lands with swift surprise, From the bright horrors turn their eyes. 7 At his command the morning ray Smiles in the East, and leads the day, He guides the sun's declining wheels Over the tops of western hills. 8 Seasons and times obey his voice; The evening and the morn rejoice To see the earth made soft with showers, Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers. 9 'Tis from his watry stores on high, He gives the thirsty ground supply; He walks upon the clouds, and thence Doth his enriching drops dispense. 10 The desert grows a fruitful field, Abundant fruit the vallies yield; The vallies shout with cheerful voice, And neighboring hills repeat their joys. 11 The pasture smile in green array, There lambs and larger cattle play; The larger cattle and the lamb, Each in his language speaks thy name. 12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine; O'er every field thy glories shine; Through every month thy gifts appear; Great God, thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 Languages: English
