Ye weak inhabitants of clay
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #30 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Ye weak inhabitants of clay,
Ye trifling insects of a day,
Low in your native dust bow down
Before th' Eternal's awful throne.
2 Let Lebanon her cedars bring,
To blaze before the sov'reign King;
And all the beasts, that on it feed,
As victims at his altar bleed.
3 Loud let ten thousand trumpets sound,
And call remotest nations round,
Assembled on the crowded plains,
Princes and people, kings and swains.
4 Join'd with the living, let the dead,
Rising, the face of earth o'erspread;
And, while his praise unites their tongues,
Let angels echo back the songs.
5. The drop that from the bucket falls,
The dust that hangs upon the scales,
Is more to sky and earth and sea,
Than all this pomp, great God! to thee. Languages: English
Ye weak inhabitants of clay
Ye sons of men, in sacred lays
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #37 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Being and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, in sacred lays,
Attempt the great Creator's praise;
But who an equal song can frame?
What verse can reach the lofty theme?
2 He sits enthron'd amidst the spheres,
And glory like a garment wears;
While boundless wisdom, pow'r, and grace,
Command our awe, transcend our praise.
3 Before his throne a shining band
Of cherubs and of seraphs stand;
Ethereal spirits, who in flgiht
Outstrip the rapid speed of light.
4 To God all nature owes its birth,
He form'd this pond'rous globe of earth,
He raised the glorious arch on high,
And measur'd out the azure sky.
5 In all our Maker's grand designs,
Omnipotence with wisdom shines.
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Bear the great impress of his name.
6 Rais'd on devotion's lofty wing,
Let us his high perfections sing:
O let his praise employ our tongue,
Whilst list'ning worlds applaud the song!
Ye sons of men, in sacred lays
How do Thy mercies close me round!

Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #212 (1917) Topics: Christian Safety of the; Heaven A Prepared Place; Christian Safety of the; Heaven A Prepared Place; Christ Rock of Ages; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Peace Perfect; Safety in Christ; Rock Of Ages; Sufferings of Christ; Mercies of God; Protection, Divine Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round!
For ever be Thy name adored;
I blush in all things to abound;
The servant is above his Lord.
2 Inured to poverty and pain,
A suffering life my Master led;
The Son of God, the Son of Man,
He had not where to lay His head.
3 But lo! a place He hath prepared
For me, whom watchful angels keep
Yea, He Himself becomes my guard;
He smooths my bed, and gives me sleep.
4 Jesus protects; my fears, be gone;
What can the Rock of ages move?
Safe in Thine arms I lay me down,
Thine everlasting arms of love.
5 While Thou art intimately nigh,
Who, who shall violate my rest?
Sin, earth, and hell I now defy;
I lean upon my Saviour's breast.
6 I rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
My griefs expire, my troubles cease;
Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,
Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

O thou, the wretched's sure retreat
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #VII (1789) Topics: The divine Perfections The Mercy of God Lyrics: 1 O thou, the wretched's sure retreat,
Who dost their cares controul,
And with the cheerful smile of peace
Revive the fainting soul!
2 Did ever thy relenting ear
The humble plea disdain?
Or when did plaintive misery sigh,
Or supplicate, in vain?
3 Whoe'er to thee for pardon sue
In penitential tears,
Thy goodness calms their restless doubts,
And dissipates their fears.
4 Now life from thy refreshing grace,
Their sinking hearts receive;
Thy gentlest, best-lov'd attribute,
To pity and forgive.
5 From that blest source propitious hope
Appears serenely bright,
And sheds her soft diffusive beam
O'er sorrow's dismal night.
6 Our griefs confess her vital power,
And bless the friendly ray,
Which ushers in the smiling morn
Of everlasting day.

O thou, the wretched's sure retreat
The spacious firmament on high
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #II (1789) Topics: The divine Perfections The Heavens declare the Glory of God 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 wond'rous 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 though nor real voice nor sound,
Amidst their radiant orbs be found?
6 In Reasons ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing, as they shine,
"The Hand that made us is divine." Languages: English
The spacious firmament on high
