The Seasons Are Fixed by Wisdom Divine

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Sea Lyrics: 1 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine, The slow changing moon show forth God’s design; The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys, And running his journey hastes not nor delays. 2 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair, The lions creep forth, God’s bounty to share; The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away And men are beginning the work of the day. 3 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord! The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored; The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro, And creatures unnumbered it shelters below. 4 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food; Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good; Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn; Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return. 5 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound, The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground; To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might, Let God in His creatures forever delight. 6 Before the Lord’s might earth trembles and quakes, The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks; The Lord I will worship through all of my days, Yea, while I have being my God I will praise. 7 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, While sinners depart in ruin complete; My soul, bless Jehovah, His Name be adored, Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: ASPINWALL

God of the Seas, thy thund'ring Voice

Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Dominion of God over the Sea Lyrics: 1 God of the Seas, thy thund'ring Voice Makes all the roaring Waves rejoice, And one soft Word of thy Command, Can sink them silent in the Sand. 2 If but a Moses, wave thy Rod, The Sea divides, and owns its God; The stormy Floods their Maker knew, And let his chosen Armies through. 3 The scaly Flocks amidst the Sea, To Thee, their Lord, a Tribute pay; The meanest Fish that swims the Flood Leaps up, and means a Praise to God. [4 The larger Monsters of the Deep On thy Commands Attendance keep; By thy Permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming Way. 5 If God his Voice of Tempest rears, Leviathan lies still, and fears; Anon he lifts his Nostrils high, And spouts the Ocean to the Sky.] 6 How is thy glorious Pow'r ador'd Amidst these wat'ry Nations, Lord? Yet the bold Men that trace the Seas, Bold Men, refuse their Maker's Praise. [7 What Scenes of Miracles they see, And never tune a Song to Thee! While on the Flood they safely ride, They curse the Hand that smooths the Tide. 8 Anon they plunge in wat'ry Graves, And some drink Death among the Waves; Yet the surviving Crew blaspheme, Nor own the God that rescu'd them.] 9 O for some Signal of thine Hand! Shake all the Seas, Lord, shake the Land; Great Judge descend, lest Men deny That there's a God that rules the Sky.
