God is every where

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXV (1791) Topics: Being and Perfections of God First Line: In all my vast Concerns with thee Lyrics: 1 In all my vast Concerns with thee, In vain my Soul would try To shun thy Presence, Lord, or flee The Notice of thine Eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding Sight surveys My Rising and my Rest, My public Walks, my private Ways, And Secrets of my Breast. 3 My Thoughts lye open to the Lord Before they're forme' within; And ere my Lips pronounce the Word He knows the Sense I mean. 4 O wond'rous Knowledge, deep and High! Where can a Creature hide? Within thy circling Arms I lye, Beset on ev'ry Side. 5 So let thy Grace surround me still, And like a Bulwark prove, To guard my Soul from ev'ry ill, Secur'd by Sov'reign Love. Pause 6 Lord, where shall guilty Souls retire, forgotten and unknown? In Hell they meet thy dreadful Fire, In Heav'n thy glorious Throne. 7 Should I suppress my vital Breath To 'scape the Wrath Divine, Thy Voice would break the Bars of Death, And make the Grave resign. 8 If wing'd with Beams of Morning-Light, I fly beyond the West, Thy Hand, which must support my Flight, Would soon betray my Rest. 9 If o'er my Sins I think to draw The Curtains of the Night, Those flaming Eyes that guard thy Law Would turn the Shades to Light. 10 The Beams of Noon, the Midnight Hour Are both alike to thee; O may I ne'er provoke that Pow'r From which I cannot flee.

Eternal Power! whose high above

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #13 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite lengths, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall Archangel tries To reach the height with wond'ring eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do! We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But O! the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes; our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

Great God, in vain man's narrow view

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #19 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God 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!

All-pow'rful, self-existent God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #21 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: 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 You 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.

Great God, how infinite art thou!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #20 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or heav'n was made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Nature and time all open lie To thine immense survey, From the formation of the sky, To the last awful day. 4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present to thy view. To thee there's nothing old appears; Great God! there's nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How poor and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.
