Ye Tribes Of Adam, Join
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye tribes of Adam, join
With Heav’n, and earth, and seas,
And offer notes divine
To your creator’s praise:
Ye holy throng of angels bright,
In worlds of light, begin the song.
2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your maker’s praise,
With stars of twinkling light:
His power declare, ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly in empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By His supreme command:
He spake the word, and all their frame
From nothing came, to praise the Lord.
4 He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each His word fulfills
While time and nature last:
In different ways His works proclaim
His wondrous name, and speak His praise.
5 Let all the earth-born race,
And monsters of the deep
The fish that cleave the seas,
Or in their bosom sleep;
From sea and shore their tribute pay,
And still display their maker’s power.
6 Ye vapors, hail, and snow,
Praise ye th’almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow,
To execute His word:
When lightnings shine, or thunders roar,
Let earth adore His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size,
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame, birds, flies, and worms,
In various forms, exalt His name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord, the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heav’nly honors sing;
Nor let the dream of power and state
Make you forget His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths, engage
To sound His praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as He reigns His name be sung
By every tongue in endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings His people near,
And makes them taste His love:
While earth and sky attempt His praise,
His saints shall raise His honors high. Used With Tune: LENOX Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

speak gladness to this heart;

can heal my sinful soul;
your wounds, not mine, contain
the balm that makes me whole. [Refrain]
3 Your cross, not mine, O Christ,
has borne the awful load
of sins that none could bear
but the incarnate God. [Refrain]
4 Your death, not mine, O Christ,
has paid the ransom due;
ten thousand deaths like mine
would have been all too few. [Refrain]

can set a sinner free. [Refrain] Topics: Justification Scripture: John 14:6 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN

Descend, Celestial Dove
Author: John Fellows, ?-1785 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Descend, celestial Dove,
And make Thy presence known;
Reveal our Savior’s love,
And seal us for Thine own;
Unblessed by Thee, our works are vain,
Nor can we e’er acceptance gain.
2 When our incarnate God,
The sovereign Prince of Light,
In Jordan’s swelling flood,
Received the holy rite,
In open view Thy form came down,
And dove-like flew, the King to crown.
3 The day was never known,
Since time began its race,
On which such glory shone,
On which was shown such grace,
As that which shed, in Jordan’s stream,
On Jesus’ head, the heavenly beam.
4 Continue still to shine,
And fill us with Thy fire:
This ordinance is Thine,
Do Thou our souls inspire!
Thou wilt attend on all Thy sons:
Till time shall end, Thy promise runs. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors by John Rippon, 1787
Descend, Celestial Dove
By Whom Was David Taught?
Author: William Cowper Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: By whom was David taught Lyrics: 1. By whom was David taught
To aim the deadly blow,
When he Goliath fought,
And laid the Gittite low?
Nor sword nor spear the stripling took,
But chose a pebble from the brook.
2. ’Twas Israel’s God and King
Who sent him to the fight;
Who gave him strength to fling,
And skill to aim aright.
Ye feeble saints, your strength endures,
Because young David’s God is yours.
3. Who ordered Gideon forth,
To storm th’invaders’ camp
With arms of little worth,
A pitcher and a lamp?
The trumpets made His coming known
And all the host was overthrown.
4. Oh! I have seen the day,
When with a single word,
God helping me to say,
My trust is in the Lord,
My soul hath quelled a thousand foes
Fearless of all that could oppose.
5. But unbelief, self will,
Self righteousness, and pride,
How often do they steal
My weapon from my side!
Yet David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend,
Will help His servant to the end. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 17

Father, Who Art Alone
Author: Edith Jones Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, who art alone
Our Helper and our Stay;
O hear us! as we plead
For loved ones far away;
And shield with Thine almighty hand
Our wanderers by sea and land.
2. O compass with Thy love
The daily path they tread!
And may Thy light and truth
Upon their hearts be shed;
That, one in all things with Thy will,
Heav’n’s peace and joy their souls may fill.
3. Guard them from every harm
When dangers shall assail,
And teach them that Thy power
Can never, never fail;
We cannot with our loved ones be,
But trust them, Father, unto Thee. Used With Tune: SAMUEL (Sullivan) Text Sources: Home Hymn Book, by Mrs. Hawkins, 1885

The Spacious Heavens Declare
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The spacious heav'ns declare Lyrics: 1 The spacious heav'ns declare
the glory of our God,
the firmament displays
His handiwork abroad;
day unto day proclaims His might,
and night His wisdom tells to night.

they utter forth no word,
nor into language break -
their voice is never heard;
yet through the world the truth they bear
and their Creator's pow'r declare.
3 The clouds of heav'n are spread,
a tent to hold the sun,
and like a bridegroom fair
comes forth the mighty one,
rejoicing in his strength and grace
to run his wondrous daily race.
4 His daily going forth
is from the end of heav'n;
the firmament to him
is for his circuit giv'n;
his journey reaches to its ends,
and ev'rywhere his heat extends. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Let Earth and Heaven Combine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let earth and Heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity,
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
2. He laid His glory by,
He wrapped Him in our clay;
Unmarked by human eye,
The latent Godhead lay;
Infant of days He here became,
And bore the mild Immanuel’s name.
3. See in that infant’s face
The depths of deity,
And labor while ye gaze
To sound the mystery
In vain; ye angels gaze no more,
But fall, and silently adore.
4. Unsearchable the love
That hath the Savior brought;
The grace is far above
Of men or angels’ thought:
Suffice for us that God, we know,
Our God, is manifest below.
5. He deigns in flesh t’appear,
Widest extremes to join;
To bring our vileness near,
And make us all divine:
And we the life of God shall know,
For God is manifest below.
6. Made perfect first in love,
And sanctified by grace,
We shall from earth remove,
And see His glorious face:
His love shall then be fully showed,
And man shall all be lost in God. Used With Tune: ST. JOHN (Parish) Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 5
