Next to thine angels is he plac'd, And lord of all below: 5 Thine honours crown his head, While beasts like slaves obey, And birds that cut the air with wings, And fish that cleave the sea. 6 How rich thy bounties are! And wondrous are thy ways: Of dust and worms thy power can frame A monument of praise. 7 [From mouths of feeble babes And sucklings, thou canst draw Surprising honours to thy name, And strike the world with awe. 8 O Lord, our heavenly King, Thy name is all divine: Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heavens they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English

[5 Yet while he liv'd on earth unknown, And men would not adore, Behold obedient nature own, His Godhead and his power. 6 The waves lay spread beneath his feet; And fish at his command, Bring their large shoals to Peter's net, Bring tribute to his hand. 7 These smaller glories of the Son, Shone through the fleshy cloud; Now we behold him on his throne, And men confess him God. 8 Let him with majesty be crown'd, Who bow'd his head to death; And his eternal honours sound, From all things that have breath. 9 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heavenly state Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English

A song of praise to Christ

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDLXXXIX (1792) Topics: Praise to God the redeemer First Line: Come every pious heart Lyrics: 1 Come, every pious heart That loves the savior’s name, Your noblest powers exert To celebrate his fame; Tell all above, and all below; That debt of love, to him you owe. 2 Such was his zeal for God, and such his love for you, He nobly undertook What Gabriel could not do: His every deed of love and grace All words exceed, and thoughts surpass. 3 He left his starry crown And laid His robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What he endur'd, O who can tell? To save our souls from death and hell. 4 From the dark grave he rose, The mansions of the dead; And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led: Up thro' the sky the conqueror rode; And reigns on high, the savior God. 5 From thence he’ll quickly come, His chariot will not stay, And bear our spirits home To realms of endless day: There shall we see his lovely face, And ever be in his embrace. 6 Jesus, we ne’er can pay The debt we owe thy love; Yet, tell us how we may Our gratitude approve: Our hearts, our all, to thee we give: The gift, tho' small, thou wilt receive.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CL (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God his Majesty and Attributes; Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 Praise GOD in that bless'd Place, From whence his Goodness flows, In Heav'n, where he his Face Unveil'd in Glory shows. Praise him, for with the mighty Acts Which he for us hath done, Our Praise should equal run. His Kindness this Return exacts. 2 Let the shrill Trumpet's Voice Make Rocks his Praise resound; Praise him with Harp's sweet Noise, And Psaltries Silver sound. Let graceful Virgins lead the Dance, And sprightly Timbrels bring; Let ev'ry warbling String, With Organs join'd, his Praise advance. 3 Let them who Hymns compose, To Cymbals set their Praise, Of common Use, and those That sound on solemn Days. The Breath he does to them afford, Let them who Life enjoy, In Songs of Praise employ, LET EV'RY CREATURE PRAISE THE LORD!
