Thou art, O God! a spirit pure

To what in heaven, to what on earth, Can men th'immortal King compare! 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold, and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heavens; Jehovah he, and God alone. 5 My soul, thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit him adore: More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight him more.

The Sovereignty of God

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Keep silence, all created things Lyrics: 1 Keep silence all created things, And wait your Maker’s nod; My soul stands trembling while she sings The honours of her God. 2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown, Hang on his firm decree; He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave TO BE. 3 Chained to his throne a volume lies, With all the fates of men, With every angel’s form and size, Drawn by the eternal pen. 4 His providence unfolds the book, And makes his counsels shine; Each opening leaf, and every stroke, Fulfils some deep design. 5 Here he exalts neglected worms To sceptres and a crown; And there the following page he turns, And treads the monarch down. 6 [Not Gabriel asks the reason why, Nor God the reason gives; Nor dares the favourite angel pry Between the folded leaves.] 7 My God, I would not long to see My fate with curious eyes; What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes may rise. 8 In thy fair book of life and grace, O may I find my name Recorded in some humble place, Beneath my Lord the Lamb.
