'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #56 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God his wisdom in his works Lyrics: 'Twas from thy hand, my God, I came, A work of such a curious frame In me thy fearful wonders shine, And each proclaims thy skill divine. Thine eyes did all my limbs survey, Which yet in dark confusion lay; Thou saw'st the daily growth they took, Formed by the model of thy book. By thee my growing parts were named, And what thy sovereign counsels framed- The breathing lungs, the beating heart- Was copied with unerring art. At last, to show my Maker's name, God stamped his image on my frame, And in some unknown moment joined The finished members to the mind. There the young seeds of thought began, And all the passions of the man: Great God, our infant nature pays Immortal tribute to thy praise. Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount. I could survey the ocean o'er, And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The num'rous wonders of thy grace. These on my heart are still impressed, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #61 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Works of God In Nature Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great original proclaim. 2 Th' unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display; And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 3 Soon as the ev'ning shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings, as they roll, and spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What tho' no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice, for ever singing as they shine—: The hand that made us is divine.

What is the thing of greatest price

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #64 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Works of God Lyrics: 1 What is the thing of greatest price, The whole creation round? That which was lost in Paradise, That which in Christ is found: 2 The soul of man--Jehovah's breath That keeps two worlds at strife; Hell moves beneath to work its death, Heaven stoops to give it life. 3 God, to redeem it, did not spare His well beloved Son; Jesus, to save it, deign'd to bear The sins of all in one. 4 And is this treasure borne below In earthly vessels frail! Can none its utmost value know, Till flesh and spirit fail? 5 Then let us gather round the cross, That knowledge to obtain; Not by the soul's eternal loss, But everlasting gain. Scripture: Mark 8:36
