God Of The Universe, Whose Hand
Author: William Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16620 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God of the universe, whose hand Lyrics:
1 God of the universe, whose hand
Hath filled with suns the fields of space,
Round which, obeying Thy command,
The peopled worlds fulfill their race.
2 How vast the region where Thy hand
Existence, form, and order gives;
Pleased the wide cup with joy to fill
For all that grows, and feels and lives.
3 Lord, while we thank Thee, let us learn
Beneficence to all below;
Those praise Thee best, whose bosoms burn
To spread the gifts from Thee that flow.
4 So at the awful hour of change,
Our frames the bonds of death shall tear,
Through that whole starry vast to range,
Thy bounty to admire and share.

1765 - 1836 Person Name: William Taylor Author of "God Of The Universe, Whose Hand" in The Cyber Hymnal Taylor, William, the son of a manufacturer, was born at Norwich, Nov. 7, 1765, and educated at Mr. Barbauld's school at Palgrave (see p. 113, ii.). After travelling abroad, he settled at Norwich in 1782. In 1791 he retired from business and devoted himself to literature. He was a frequent contributor to the Monthly, the Critical, and other Reviews, and was one of the first to introduce the study of German literature into England. His translations of Lessing's Nathan der Weise appeared in 1191, and of Goethe's Iphigenie in Tauris in 1793. In 1813 he published English Synonyms Discriminated, and in 1828-30 his Historical Survey of German Poetry, 3 vols. He died March 5, 1836. A Memoir of the Life and Writings of William Taylor, by J. W. Robberds, in 2 vols., was published in London in 1843. Taylor was a member of the congregation of the Octagon Chapel, Norwich, and contributed the following 5 hymns to Dr. Enfield's Norwich Selection of Hymns for Social Worship, 1795 (p. 331, ii.):—
1. Father of peace, O turn once more. For Mercy.
2. God of the universe, Whose hand. God the Universal Benefactor.
3. Moons, planets, suns that swim the sky. Nature perishable, God eternal.
4. The Lord is just; He made the chain. The Just Man.
5. Well sleeps the good who sinks to rest.
These hymns were repeated without author's name in the Norwich hymn-book of 1814, and again, sometimes with and at other times without name, in later Unitarian collections. [Rev. Valentine D. Davis, B.A.]
