God Incomprehensible

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God First Line: Great God, in vain man's narrow view Lyrics: 1 Great God, in vain man's narrow view, Attempts to look thy nature through. Our lab'ring pow'rs with rev'rence own, Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind. 3 Yet, Lord, thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal men to know; While wisdom, goodness, pow'r divine, Thro' all thy works and conduct shine. 4 O! may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace, Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will!

God is a Spirit, just and wise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Of God The Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise; He sees our inmost mind. In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear. The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: The Perfections and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 High in the heav’ns, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through ev'ry cloud That veils and darkens thy designs. 2 For ever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. 4 My God, how excellent thy grace! Whence all our hope and comfort springs; The sons of Adam in distress, Fly to the shadow of thy wings. 5 From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. 6 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promis'd in thy Word. Scripture: Psalm 36
