The Infinity of God

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Great God! how infinite are thou! Lyrics: 1 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee! 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 [Nature and time quite naked lie To thy immense survey, From the formation of the sky, To the great burning day.] 4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee there’s nothing old appears – Great God! there’s nothing new! 5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares, While thy eternal thought moves on Thy undisturbed affairs. 6 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee!

The Everlasting Love of God

Author: Kent Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: 'Twas with an everlasting love Lyrics: 1 ’Twas with an everlasting love That God his own elect embraced; Before he made the worlds above, Or earth on her huge columns placed. 2 Long ere the sun’s refulgent ray Primeval shades of darkness drove, They on his sacred bosom lay, Loved with an everlasting love. 3 Then in the glass of his decrees, Christ and his bride appeared as one; Her sin, by imputation, his, Whilst she in spotless splendour shone. 4 O love, how high thy glories swell! How great, immutable, and free! Ten thousand sins, as black as hell, Are swallowed up, O love, in thee! 5 [Loved, when a wretch defiled with sin, At war with heaven, in league with hell, A slave to every lust obscene; Who, living, lived but to rebel.] 6 Believer, here thy comfort stands – From first to last salvation’s free, And everlasting love demands An everlasting song from thee.

The Everlasting Mercy of God

Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: God's mercy is for ever sure Lyrics: 1 God’s mercy is for ever sure; Eternal is his name; As long as life and speech endure, My tongue this truth proclaim. 2 I basely sinned against his love, And yet my God was good; His favour nothing could remove, For I was bought with blood. 3 [That precious blood atones all sin, And fully clears from guilt; It makes the foulest sinner clean, For ’twas for sinners spilt.] 4 He raised me from the lowest state, When hell was my desert; I broke his law, and, worse than that, Alas! I broke his heart! 5 My soul, thou hast, let what will ail, A never-changing Friend; When brethren, friends, and helpers fail, On him alone depend.

The Holiness of the Three-One God

Author: Burnham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: The Father is a holy God Lyrics: 1 The Father is a holy God; His holy Son he gave; Who freely shed atoning blood, A guilty world to save. 2 The Spirit brings the chosen race, A holy Christ to view; And while by faith they see his face, Their souls grow holy too. 3 In holiness the saints delight, While here on earth they dwell; By faith they wrestle day and night, More holiness to feel. 4 The Holy Spirit leads them on, His holy truth to know; Inscribes his laws in every son, And works obedience too. 5 He makes them feel the cleansing grace, That flows through Jesus’ blood; Unites in love the holy race – The new-born sons of God.

Glory and Grace in the Person of Christ

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 333 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Now to the Lord a noble song! Lyrics: 1 Now to the Lord a noble song! Awake, my soul; awake, my tongue! Hosanna to the eternal name, And all his boundless love proclaim! 2 See where it shines in Jesus’ face, The brightest image of his grace! God, in the person of his Son, Has all his mightiest works outdone. 3 The spacious earth and spreading flood Proclaim the wise, the powerful God; And thy rich glories from afar Sparkle in every rolling star. 4 But in his looks a glory stands, The noblest labour of thy hands; The pleasing lustre of his eyes Outshines the wonders of the skies. 5 [Grace! ’tis a sweet, a charming theme! My thoughts rejoice at Jesus’ name! Ye angels, dwell upon the sound! Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground!] 6 O may I live to reach the place Where he unveils his lovely face, Where all his beauties you behold, And sing his name to harps of gold!

The Loving-Kindness of God

Author: Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,078 hymnals Topics: The Perfections of God First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyful lays Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from me; His loving-kindness, O how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate; His loving-kindness, O how great! 3 [Though numerous hosts of mighty foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along; His loving-kindness, O how strong!] 4 [When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood; His loving-kindness, O how good!] 5 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Saviour to depart; But though I have him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not! 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale; Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death! 7 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day, And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.
