All Nature's Works His Praise Declare

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All nature’s works His praise declare, to whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, in every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad with strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, the thunder and the shower. 2. To God the tribes of ocean cry, and birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let us the throne surround, with them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound assist our feeble praise. 3. Great God, to Thee we consecrate our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait to speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats may earth born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes may lift our souls on high! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

With us when the storm is sweeping, O’er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling every anxious fear. 4. With us in the lonely valley, When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation’s radiant beam.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 6. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. 7.
