God glorious, and Sinners saved
Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 313 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Salvation First Line: Father, how wide thy glory shines Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!
Known thro' the earth by thousand signs,
By thousand thro' the skies.
2 [Part of thy name divinely stands
On all thy creatures writ,
They shew the labour of thy hands,
Or impress of thy feet.]
3 But when we view thy strange design
To save rebellious worms,
Where vengeance and compassion join,
In their divinest forms;
4 Our thoughts are lost in reverend awe;
We love and we adore;
The first arch-angel never saw
So much of God before.
5 Here the whole Deity is known,
Nor dares a creature guess
Which of the glories brightest shone,
The justice or the grace.
6 [When sinners broke the Father's laws,
The dying Son atones;
O, the dear mysteries of his cross!
The triumph of his groans!]
7 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.
8 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.
Scripture: Isaiah 44:23 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems

God is the refuge of His saints
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 469 hymnals Topics: Scriptures God's word Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold Him present with His aid!
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar;
In sacred peace our souls abide;
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, Thy living word,
Thus all our anxious fear controls;
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.
6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,
Secure against the threatening hour;
Nor can her firm foundation move,
Built on His faithfulness and power. Used With Tune: WALTON
God is the refuge of His saints
