All-pow'rful, self-existent God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 All-pow'rful, self-existent God, Who all creation dost sustain! Thou wast, and art, and art to come; And everlasting is thy reign. 2 Fix'd and eternal as thy days, Each glorious attribute divine, Thro' ages infinite, shall still With undiminished lustre shine. 3 Fountain of being! source of good! Immutable dost thou remain; Nor can the shadow of a change Obscure the glories of thy reign. 4 Nature her order shall reverse, Revolving seasons cease their round; Nor spring appear with blooming pride, Nor autumn be with plenty crown'd: 5 Yon shining orbs forget their course; The sun his destin'd path forsake; And burning desolaton mark Amid the world his wand'ring track. 6 Earth may with all her pow'rs dissolve, If such the great Creator's will; But thou for ever art the same; "I am" is thy memorial still.

God Almighty

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and pow'r; Ascribe due honors to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud, O'er the vast ocean and the land; His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command. 3 He speaks, and howling tempests rise, And lay the forest bare around: The fiercest beasts, with piteous cries, Confess the terror of the sound. 4 His thunders rend the vaulted skies, And palaces and temples shake. The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sov'reign o'er the flood; The Thund'rer reigns forever King; But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing. 6 We see no terrors in his name, But in our God a Father find. The voice, that shakes all nature's frame, Speaks comfort to the pious mind.

God Omnipresent and Omniscient

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 328 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search'd and seen me through, Thine eye commands, with piercing view, My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their pow'rs. 2 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit thy service and thy love; Where, Lord, could I thy presence shun, Or from thy dreadful glory run? 3 If, mounted on a morning ray, I fly beyond the western sea; Thy swifter hand would first arrive, And there arrest thy fugitive. 4 Or should I try to shun thy sight Beneath the spreading veil of night; One glance of thine, one piercing ray Would kindle darkness into day. 5 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from thy all-searching eyes. Thy hand can seize thy foes as soon Through midnight shades, as blazing noon. 6 O may these thoughts possess my breast, Where'er I rove, where'er I rest! Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

God's Wisdom

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 redeemed the sons of men, He fixed sis 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, Who best obeys thy will.

And, in melodious accent, speaks The goodness of thy names. 3 Thy justice, holiness, and truth, Our solemn awe excite; But the sweet charms of sovereign grace O’erwhelm us with delight. 4 Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire, Thunders thy dreadful name; But Sion sings, in melting notes, The honors of the Lamb. 5 In all thy doctrines and commands, Thy counsels and designs, In ev'ry work thy hands have fram'd, Thy love supremely shines. 6 Angels and men the news proclaim Through earth and heaven above, The joyful, the transporting news, That God, the Lord is Love! Scripture: 1 John 4:8
