Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCIV (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Dependence and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies! Thy wealth the needy world supplies; On thee alone the whole depends, Thy care to ev'ry part extends. 2 To thee perpetual thanks we owe, For all our comforts here below; Our daily bread thy bounty gives, And ev'ry rising want relieves. 3 The wastes of life thy pow'r repairs, Thy mercy stills tempestuous cares, And safe beneath thy guardian arm We live secur'd from ev'ry harm. 4 To thee we cheerful homage bring, In grateful hymns thy praises sing, Direct to thee our waiting eyes, And humbly look for fresh supplies. 5 We still our indigent and poor, Indebted much, yet lacking more; On thee we ever will depend, The rich, the sure, the faithful friend. 6 And, should thy measures seem severe, Calmly may we thy chast'ning bear, Without complaint to thee submit, Th' unerring Judge of what is fit.

Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CI (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Comfort of the pious Poor Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Sov'reign of the sky, Who from his lofty throne Looks down on all that humble lie, And calls such souls his own. 2 The haughty sinner he disdains, Tho' gems his temples crown; And from the seat of pomp and pride, His vengeance hurls him down. 3 On his afflicted pious poor He makes his face to shine; He fills their cottages of clay With lustre all divine. 4 Among the meanest of thy flock There let my dwelling be, Rather than under gilded roofs, If absent, Lord, from thee.

Thy people, Lord, have ever found

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCVI (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Submission under Affliction Lyrics: 1 Thy people, Lord, have ever found 'Tis good to bear thy rod; Afflictions make us learn thy law, And live upon our God. 2 This is the comfort we enjoy; When new distress begins, We read thy word, we run thy way, And hate our former sins. 3 Thy judgment, Lord, are always right, Though they may seem severe; The sharpest sufferings we endure Flow from thy faithful care. 4 Before we knew thy chastening rod, Our feet were apt to stray; Now may we learn to keep thy word, Nor wander from thy way.

Happy the souls who trust in God

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCI (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God our Safety in Danger Lyrics: 1 Happy the souls who trust in God; They find a most secure abode; They walk all day beneath his shade, And there at night they rest their head. 2 If burning beams of noon conspire To dart a pestilential fire, God is their life, his wings are spread To shield them with a healthful shade. 3 If vapours, with malignant breath Rise thick, and scatter midnight death, The saints safe; the poison'd air Grows pure; for God himself is there. .
