Nature with all her pow'rs, shall sing

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Universalist Hymn-Book #422 (1836)

A song in praise to God from Great Britain

Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #II.I (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Nature with all her pow'rs shall sing Lyrics: 1 Nature with all her pow'rs shall sing, God the Creator and the King: Nor air, nor earth, nor skies, nor seas, Deny the tribute of their praise. 2 [Begin to make his glories known, Ye seraphs, that sit near his throne; Tune your harps high, and spread the sound To the creation's utmost bound.] 3 [All mortal things of meaner frame, Exert your force, and own his name; Whilst with our souls, and with our voice, We sing his honours and our joys.] 4 [To him be sacred all we have, From the young cradle to the grave: Our lips shall his loud wonders tell, And ev'ry word a miracle.] 5 [This northern isle, our native land, Lies safe in the Almighty's hand: Our foes of vict'ry dream in vain, And own the captivating chain. 6 He builds and guards the British throne, And makes it gracious, like his own; Makes our successive princes kind, And gives our dangers to the wind. 7 Raise monumental praises high, To him that thunders through the sky, And with an awful nod or frown Shakes an aspiring tyrant down. 8 [Pillars of lasting brass proclaim The triumphs of th' eternal name: While trembling nations read from far The honours of the God of war.] 9 Thus let our flaming zeal employ Our loftiest thoughts and loudest songs; Britain pronounce with warmest joy, Hosanna from ten thousand tongues. 10 [Yet, mighty God, our feeble frame Attempts in vain to reach thy name: The strongest notes that angels raise, Faint in the worship and the praise.] Languages: English
