I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:25 Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at God’s command and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his word and then pronounced them good. Lord, how your wonders are displayed where’er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky! 3 There’s not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known, and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that we can be, you, God are present there.

Providence equitable and kind

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Thro' all the various shifting scene Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the various shifting scene Of life's mistaken ill or good; Thy hand, O God, conducts unseen The beautiful vicissitude. 2 Thou givest with paternal care, Howe'er unjustly we complain, To each their necessary share Of joy and sorrow, health and pain. 3 Trust we to youth, or friends, or power, Fix we on this terrestrial ball? When most secure, the coming hour, If thou see fit, may blast them all. 4 When lowest sunk with grief and shame, Fill'd with affliction's bitter cup, Lost to relations, friends, and fame, Thy pow'rful hand can raise us up. 5 Thy powerful consolations cheer, Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh, Thy hand can dry the trickling tear That secret wets the widow's eye. 6 All things on earth, and all in Heaven On thy eternal will depend; And all for greater good were given, And all shall in thy glory end. 7 This be my care; to all beside Indifferent let my wishes be; "Passion be calm; and dumb be pride, "And fix'd, O God, my soul on thee."

Hymn 70

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:23 First Line: God of the seas! thy thund'ring voice Lyrics: God of the seas! thy thund'ring voice Makes all the roaring waves rejoice, And one soft word of thy command Can sink them silent in the sand. If but a Moses wave thy rod, The sea divides and owns its God; The stormy floods their Maker knew, And let his chosen armies through. The scaly flocks amidst the sea, To thee, their Lord, a tribute pay; The meanest fish that swims the flood Leaps up, and means a praise to God. [The larger monsters of the deep On thy commands attendance keep; By thy permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming way. If God his voice of tempest rears, Leviathan lies still and fears; Anon he lifts his nostrils high, And spouts the ocean to the sky.] How is thy glorious power adored Amidst these wat'ry nations, Lord! Yet the bold men that trace the seas, Bold men, refuse their Maker's praise! [What scenes of miracles they see, And never tune a song to thee! While on the flood they safely ride, They curse the hand that smooths the tide! Anon they plunge in wat'ry graves, And some drink death among the waves; Yet the surviving crew blaspheme, Nor own the God that rescued them.] O for some signal of thine hand! Shake all the seas, Lord, shake the land; Great Judge! descend, lest men deny That there's a God that rules the sky.
