Behold what wondrous grace
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #164 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm Lyrics:
Behold what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
'Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their king,
God's everlasting Son.
Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Savior here,
We shall be like our Head.
A hope so much divine
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.
If in my Father's love
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne;
My faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own.
Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Languages: English
Behold what wondrous grace
Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #494 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Storm and Thunder; Thunder and storm Lyrics:
Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name,
While in his holy courts ye wait,
Ye saints, that to his house belong,
Or stand attending at his gate.
Praise ye the Lord, the Lord is good;
To praise his name is sweet employ:
Isr'el he chose of old, and still
His church is his peculiar joy.
The Lord himself will judge his saints;
He treats his servants as his friends;
And when he hears their sore complaints,
Repents the sorrows that he sends.
Through every age the Lord declares
His name, and breaks th' oppressor's rod
He gives his suff'ring servants rest,
And will be known th' Almighty God.
Bless ye the Lord, who taste his love,
People and priest, exalt his name:
Amongst his saints he ever dwells;
His church is his Jerusalem.
Scripture: Psalm 135:19-21 Languages: English
Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XXIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Storm and Thunder Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,
Give to the Lord renown and pow'r,
Ascribe due honors to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud
Thro' ev'ry ocean, ev'ry land;
His voice divides the wat'ry cloud,
And lightnings blaze at his command.
3 He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind,
Lay the wide forest bare around:
The fearful hart, and frightened hind,
Leap at the terror of the sound.
4 To Lebanon He turns his voice,
And lo, the stately cedars break;
The mountains tremble at the noise,
The valleys roar, the deserts quake.
5 The Lord sits sov'reign on the flood,
The thund’rer, reigns for ever king;
But makes his church his blest abode,
Where we his awful glories sing.
6 In gentler language, there the Lord
The counsel of his grace imparts;
Amidst the raging storm, his word
Speaks peace and courage to our hearts. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Psalm 136
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.310 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Thunder and storm First Line: Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord Lyrics:
Give thanks to God the sovereign Lord;
His mercies still endure;
And be the King of kings adored;
His truth is ever sure.
What wonders hath his wisdom done!
How mighty is his hand!
Heav'n, earth, and sea, he framed alone;
How wide is his command
The sun supplies the day with light;
How bright his counsels shine!
The moon and stars adorn the night;
His works are all divine.
[He struck the sons of Egypt dead;
How dreadful is his rod!
And thence with joy his people led;
How gracious is our God!
He cleft the swelling sea in two;
His arm is great in might;
And gave the tribes a passage through;
His power and grace unite.
But Pharaoh's army there he drowned;
How glorious are his ways!
And brought his saints through desert ground;
Eternal be his praise!
Great monarchs fell beneath his hand;
Victorious is his sword;
While Isr'el took the promised land;
And faithful is his word.]
He saw the nations dead in sin;
He felt his pity move:
How sad the state the world was in!
How boundless was his love!
He sent to save us from our woe;
His goodness never fails;
From death, and hell, and every foe;
And still his grace prevails.
Give thanks to God the heav'nly King;
His mercies still endure:
Let the whole earth his praises sing;
His truth is ever sure.

Give thanks to God most high,
The universal Lord,
The sovereign King of kings;
And be his grace adored.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
How mighty is his hand!
What wonders hath he done!
He formed the earth and seas,
And spread the heav'ns alone.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
His wisdom framed the sun
To crown the day with light;
The moon and twinkling stars
To cheer the darksome night.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
[He smote the first-born sons,
The flower of Egypt, dead;
And thence his chosen tribes
With joy and glory led.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
His power and lifted rod
Cleft the Red Sea in two;
And for his people made
A wondrous passage through.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
But cruel Pharaoh there,
With all his host, he drowned;
And brought his Isr'el safe
Through a long desert ground.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
The kings of Canaan fell
Beneath his dreadful hand;
While his own servants took
Possession of their land.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.]
He saw the nations lie
All perishing in sin,
And pitied the sad state
The ruined world was in.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.
He sent his only Son
To save us from our woe,
From Satan, sin, and death,
And every hurtful foe.
His power and grace
Are still the same;
And let his name
Have endless praise.
Give thanks aloud to God,
To God the heav'nly King;
And let the spacious earth
His works and glories sing.
Thy mercy, Lord,
Shall still endure;
And ever sure
Abides thy word.

Psalm 136 Abridged
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.312 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Thunder and storm First Line: Give to our God immortal praise Lyrics:
Give to our God immortal praise;
Mercy and truth are all his ways:
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
Give to the Lord of lords renown,
The King of kings with glory crown:
His mercies ever shall endure,
When lords and kings are known no more.
He built the earth, he spread the sky,
And fixed the starry lights on high:
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
He fills the sun with morning light;
He bids the moon direct the night:
His mercies ever shall endure,
When suns and moons shall shine no more.
The Jews he freed from Pharaoh's hand,
And brought them to the promised land
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
He saw the Gentiles dead in sin,
And felt his pity work within
His mercies ever shall endure,
When death and sin shall reign no more.
He sent his Son with power to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
Through this vain world he guides our feet,
And leads us to his heav'nly seat
His mercies ever shall endure,
When this vain world shall be no more.

But makes his Church his blest Abode,
Where we his awful Glories sing.

God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #36 (1786) Topics: Thunder and storm; Thunder and storm First Line: Behold the morning sun Lyrics: 1 Behold the morning sun
Begins his glorious way;
His beams through all the nations run,
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes
It spreads diviner light,
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgements just,
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
Oh may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!
Pause.
5 I heard thy word with love,
And I would fain obey:
Send thy good spirit from above
To guide me lest I stray.
6 Oh who can ever find
The errors of his ways?
Yet with a bold presumptuous mind
I would not dare transgress.
7 Warn me of every sin,
Forgive my secret faults,
And cleanse this guilty soul of mine,
Whose crimes exceed my thoughts.
8 While with my heart and tongue
I spread thy praise abroad;
Accept the worship and the song,
My Saviour and my God. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English
God's Word most excellent; Or, Sincerity and Watchfulness
