The spacious firmament on high

Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame Their great original proclaim. Th' unearied sun from day to day Does his creators pow'r display And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand, The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale And nightly to the listning earth, Reveals the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they rowl, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all, Move round the dark terrestrial ball, What tho' nor real voice nor sound, Amid their radiant orbs be found, In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine The hand that made us is divine.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Appears in 1,012 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost, In wonder love and praise. Thy providence my life sustain'd, and all my wants redress'd. While in the silent womb, I lay, And hung upon the breast. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 2 To all my weak complaints and cries, Thy mercy lent an ear. E'er yet my feeble thoughts had learn'd, To form themselves in prayer. Unnumber'd comforts to my soul, Thy tender care bestow'd. Before my infant heart conceived, From when those comforts flow'd. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. Thor' hidden dangers, toils and deaths, It gently clear'd my way, And thrp' the pleasing snares of vice, More to be fear'd than they. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 4 Thro' every period of my life thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death in distant worlds The pleasing theme renew. Thro' all eternity to thee, A grateful song I'll raise; But O! eternity's too short, To utter all thy praise. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.

Eternal Power whose high abode

Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds, where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 Thee while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings, And ranks of shining thrones around, Fall worshiping and spread the ground. 3 Lord what shall earth and ashes do, We would adore our maker too. From sin and dust to thee we cry, The great, the holy, and the high. 4 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learnt to lisp thy name, but o the glories of thy mind, Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven and men below. Be short our tunes our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs And praise sits silent on our tongues. Used With Tune: PALMI'S

Praise ye the Lord, its good to raise

Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, tis good to raise, Our hearts and voices in his praise. His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight, To make this duty our delight. 2 He form'd the stars those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers calls their name, His wisdom's vast, and knows no bounds, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd. 3 Sing to the Lord exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky. There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And cloths the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with feed his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry, And the young ravens when they cry. 5 What is the creatures skill or force, The sprightly man or warlike horse? The piercing wit, the active limb, All are too mean delights for him, All are too mean delights for him. Used With Tune: KETTELBYS

When the fierce north wind with his airy forces

Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Rears up the Baltick to a foaming fury, And the red lightnings with a storm of hail comes, Rushing amain down. 2 How the poor sailors stand amaz'd and tremble, While the hoarse thunder like a bloody trumpet, Roars a loud onset to the gaping waters, Quick to devour them. 3 Such shall the noise be, and the wild disorder, (If things eternal may be like these earthly) Such the dire terror when the great archangel Shakes the creation. 4 Tears the strong pillars of the vault of heaven, Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes, See the graves open and the bones arising. Flames all around them. 5 Hark the shrill outcries of the guilty wretches! Lively bright horror, and amazing anguish, Stare thro' their eyelids, while the living worm lies Gnawing within them. 6 Thoughts like old vultures prey upon their heartstrings, And the smart twinges when the eye beholds the Lofty judge, frowning, and a flood of vengeance Rolling afore him. 7 Hopeless immortals, how they scream and shiver, While devils push them to the pit wide yawning, Hideous and gloomy, to receive them headlong Down to the center. 8 Stop here my fancy (All away ye horrid Doleful ideas) come arise to Jesus, How he sits Godlike, and the saints around him, Thron'd yet adoring. 9 O may I sit there when he comes triumphant, Dooming the nations, then ascend to glory, While our hosannas all along the passage Shout the redeemer.
