Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #52a (1786) Topics: Storm and Thunder; Storm and Thunder First Line: Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,
Give to the Lord renown and power,
Ascribe due honours to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud
Thro' every ocean, every land;
His voice divides the watery cloud,
And lightnings blaze at his command.
3 He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind,
Lay the wide forest bare around;
The fearful hart, and frighted hind,
Leap at the terror of the sound.
4 To Lebanon he turns his voice,
And lo, the stately cedars break:
The mountains tremble at the noise,
The vallies roar, the deserts quake.
5 The Lord sits sovereign on the flood,
The Thunderer reigns forever king;
But makes his church his blest abode,
Where we his awful glories sing.
6 In gentler language, there the Lord
The counsel of his grace imparts;
Amidst the raging storm, his word
Speaks peace and courage to our hearts. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English

To praise th' eternal God;
Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.
2 Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays;
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above,
And fix'd their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And ever speak his name.
4 Ye vapours, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers or snow,
Ye thunders murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
5 Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.

Should sing his praises best.

Let his high praise resound,
From humble shrubs and cedars high,
And vales and fields around.
9 Ye lions of the wood,
And tamer beasts that graze,
Ye live upon his daily food,
And he expects your praise.
10 Ye birds of lofty wing,
On high his praises bear;
Or sit on flowery boughs and sing
Your Maker's glory there.

T' exalt his glorious name,
And flies in beauteous forms that shine,
His wondrous skill proclaim.

Should learn to praise him best.

Their feebler voices try.
15 United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise;
God is the Lord; his name alone
Deserves our endless praise.
16 Let nature join with art,
And all pronounce him blest,
But saints, that dwell so near his heart
Should sing his praises best.

Above all powers and every throne;
What e'er he please in earth or sea,
Or heaven, or hell, his hand hath done.
2 At his command the vapours rise,
The lightnings flash, the thunders roar;
He pours the rain, he brings the wind
And tempest from his airy store.
3 'Twas he those dreadful tokens sent,
O Egypt, through thy stubborn land;
When all thy first-born, beasts and men,
Fell dead by his avenging hand.
4 What mighty nations, mighty kings,
He slew, and their whole country gave
To Israel, whom his hand redeem'd,
No more to be proud Pharaoh's slave.
5 His power the same, the same his grace,
That saves us from the hosts of hell;
And heaven he gives us to possess,
Whence those apostate angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12 Languages: English

2 Great is the Lord; and works unknown

But still his saints are near his throne,
His treasure and his joy.
3 Heaven, earth, and sea confess his hand;
He bids the vapours rise;
Lightning and storm at his command
Sweep through the sounding skies.
4 All power that gods or kings have claim'd
Is found with him alone;
But heathen gods should ne'er be nam'd
Where our Jehovah's known.
5 Which of the stocks or stones they trust
Can give them showers of rain?
In vain they worship glittering dust,
And pray to gold in vain.
6 [Their gods have tongues that speechless prove,
Such as their makers gave;
Their feet were never form'd to move,
Nor hands have power to save.
6 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf,
Nor hear when mortals pray;
Mortals that wait for their relief,
Are blind and deaf as they.]

2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your Maker's praise,
With stars of twinkling light

Ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly
In empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By his supreme command.
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came,
To praise the Lord.

In unknown ages past,
And each his word fulfils
While time and nature last.

His wondrous name,
And speak his praise.

Praise ye th' almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow
To execute his word.

Or thunders roar,

His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame,
Birds, flies and worms,
In various forms
Exalt his name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heavenly wonders sing;
Nor let the dream
Of power and state
Make you forget
His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths engage
To sound his praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as he reigns
His name be sung
By every tongue
In endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings his people near,
And makes them taste his love:
While earth and sky
Attempt his praise
His saints shall raise
His honours high. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English

6 Ye vapours, hail and snow,
Praise ye th' almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow
To execute his word.
When lightnings shine
Or thunders roar,
Let earth adore
His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame,
Birds, flies and worms,
In various forms
Exalt his name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heavenly wonders sing;
Nor let the dream
Of power and state
Make you forget
His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths engage
To sound his praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as he reigns
His name be sung
By every tongue
In endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings his people near,
And makes them taste his love:
While earth and sky
Attempt his praise
His saints shall raise
His honours high. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English
Praise to God from all Creatures
Universal praise to God

From distant worlds where creatures dwell;
Let heaven begin the solemn word,
And sound it dreadful down to hell.
2 The Lord, how absolute he reigns,
Let every angel bend the knee;
Sing of his love in heavenly strains,
And speak how fierce his terrors be.
3 High on a throne his glories dwell,
An awful throne of shining bliss:
Fly through the world, O sun and tell
How dark thy beams compar'd to his.
4 Awake ye tempests and his fame
In sounds of dreadful praise declare;
And the sweet whisper of his name
Fill every gentler breeze of air.
5 Let clouds, and winds, and waves agree
To join their praise with blazing fire;
Let the firm earth and rolling sea
In this eternal song conspire.
6 Ye flowery plains, proclaim his skill;
Ye vallies sink before his eye;
And let his praise from every hill
Rise tuneful to the neighbouring sky.
7 Ye stubborn oaks, and stately pines,
Bend your high branches and adore:
Praise him, ye beasts, in different strains;
The lamb must bleat, the lion roar.
8 Ye birds, his praise must be your theme,
Who form'd to song your tuneful voice;
While the dumb fish that cut the stream
In his protecting care rejoice.
9 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue,
When nature all around you sings?
Oh for a shout from old and young,
From humble swains and lofty kings!
10 Wide as his vast dominion lies,
Make the Creator's name be known;
Loud as his thunder shout his praise,
And sound it lofty as his throne.
11 Jehovah! 'tis a glorious word!
Oh may it dwell on every tongue!
But saints who best have known the Lord
Are bound to raise the noblest song.
12 Speak of the wonders of that love
Which Gabriel plays on every chord:
From all below and all above,
Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord.
