The Seasons Are Fixed by Wisdom Divine
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #219 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Seasons Lyrics: 1 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,
The slow changing moon show forth God’s design;
The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor delays.
2 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
The lions creep forth, God’s bounty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.
3 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!
The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro,
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.
4 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;
Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.
5 Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
Let God in His creatures forever delight.
6 Before the Lord’s might earth trembles and quakes,
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks;
The Lord I will worship through all of my days,
Yea, while I have being my God I will praise.
7 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
While sinners depart in ruin complete;
My soul, bless Jehovah, His Name be adored,
Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English Tune Title: ASPINWALL

At first arose this beauteous frame!

From winter storms recover'd, rise;
When thousand grateful scenes appear,
Fresh op'ning to our wand'ring eyes.

The earth in vernal beauty dress'd!
While in each herb, and flow'r, and tree,
Thy blooming glories shine confess'd!

And light and genial heat conveys;
And, while he leads the seasons on,
From thee derives his quick'ning rays.

Stands the rich grain or purpled vine;
At thy command they rise, to yield
The strength'ning bread or cheering wine.

We see; we taste;--let ev'ry heart
With grateful love and duty glow. Languages: English

Great God, as seasons disappear
Author: Campbell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #980 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Seasons Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear,
And changes mark the rolling year,
As time with rapid pinions flies,
May every season make us wise.
2 Long has thy favor crowned our days,
And summer shed again its rays;
No deadly cloud our sky has vailed;
No blasting winds our path assailed.
3 Our harvest months have o'er us rolled,
And filled our fields with waving gold;
Our tables spread, our garners stored!
Where are our hearts to praise the Lord?
4 The solemn harvest comes apace,
The closing day of life and grace:
Time of decision, awful hour!
Around it let no tempests lower!
5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
Like stars in heaven to rise and shine;
Then shall our happy souls above
Reap the full harvest of thy love!

Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.

And corn in valleys grow.
3 He gives the grazing ox his meat,

But man who tastes his finest wheat,
Should raise his honours high.

And wintry days appear.

Descend and clothe the ground;

Shall find his courage fail.

And bids the spring return.

From the bright horrors turn their eyes.
7 At his command the morning ray
Smiles in the East, and leads the day,

8 Seasons and times obey his voice;
The evening and the morn rejoice

Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers.
9 'Tis from his watery stores on high,
He gives the thirsty ground supply;
He walks upon the clouds, and thence
Doth his enriching drops dispense.

Abundant food the vallies yield;

And neighboring hills repeat their joys.

There lambs and larger cattle play;
The larger cattle and the lamb,
Each in his language speaks thy name.

God of eternal power;
The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.
2 Thy morning light and evening shade,
Successive comforts bring;
Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flowers adorn the spring.
3 Seasons and times, and moon, and hours,
Heaven, earth and air are thine;
When clouds, distil in fruitful showers,
The Author is divine:
4 Those wandering cisterns in the sky
Borne by the winds around,
With watery treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.
5 The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #118 (1786) Topics: Seasons of the year; Seasons of the year First Line: The God of our Salvation hears Lyrics: 1 The God of our Salvation hears
The groans of Sion mix'd with tears;
Yet when he comes with kind designs,
Through all the way his terror shines.
2 On him the race of man depends,
Far as the earth's remotest ends,
Where the Creator's name is known,
By nature's feeble light alone.
3 Sailors that travel o'er the flood,
Address their frighted souls to God,
When tempests rage and Billows roar
At dreadful distance from the shore.
4 He bids the noisy tempest cease;
He calms the raging crowd to peace,
When a tumultuous nation raves,
Wild as the winds, and loud as waves.
5 Whole kingdoms shaken by the storm,
He settles in a peaceful form;
Mountains establish'd by his hand
Firm on their old foundation stand.
6 Behold his ensigns sweep the sky,
New comets blaze, and lightnings fly;
The Heathen lands, with swift surprise,
From the bright horrors turn their eyes.
7 At his command the morning ray
Smiles in the East, and leads the day,
He guides the sun's declining wheels
Over the tops of western hills.
8 Seasons and times obey his voice;
The evening and the morn rejoice
To see the earth made soft with showers,
Laden with fruit, and drest in flowers.
9 'Tis from his watery stores on high,
He gives the thirsty ground supply;
He walks upon the clouds, and thence
Doth his enriching drops dispense.
10 The desert grows a fruitful field,
Abundant food the vallies yield;
The vallies shout with cheerful voice,
And neighboring hills repeat their joys.
11 The pastures smile in green array,
There lambs and larger cattle play;
The larger cattle and the lamb,
Each in his language speaks thy name.
12 Thy works pronounce thy power divine;
O'er every field thy glories shine;
Through every month thy gifts appear;
Great God, thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65:5-13 Languages: English

The Church in Trial
Hymnal: The Psalter #205 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Seasons First Line: O wherefore hast Thou cast us off Lyrics: 1 O wherefore hast Thou cast us off,
O God, our God of old?
Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep,
The sheep of Thy own fold,
The sheep of Thy own fold?
2 Remember Thy inheritance,
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;
Remember Zion's mount profaned,
Thy ancient dwelling-place,
Thy ancient dwelling-place.
3 In ruin long Thy temple lies;
Arise, O God of grace;
And see the ruin foes have wrought
Within Thy holy place,
Within Thy holy place.
4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high
The standards of the foe,
And impious hands with axe and fire
Have laid Thy temple low,
Have laid Thy temple low.
5 They have profaned the holy place
Where Thou hast set thy Name,
The sanctuaries of our God
Are given to the flame,
Are given to the flame.
6 We see no signs of power divine,
No prophet speaks for Thee,
And none can tell, and none can know,
How long these woes shall be,
How long these woes shall be.
7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy
And shame reproach our land?
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes
With Thy almighty hand,
With Thy almighty hand?
8 O God, Thou art our King of old,
Salvation Thou hast wrought;
In safety through the mighty sea
Our fathers Thou hast brought,
Our fathers Thou hast brought.
9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man,
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran,
Where mighty waters ran.
10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night,
And Thine the shining sun;
At Thy command earth's bounds are set
And changing seasons run,
And changing seasons run.
11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord,
Against Thee proudly speak;
Preserve Thy saints from wicked men,
Be mindful of the meek,
Be mindful of the meek.
12 Fulfill, o Lord, Thy covenant,
Our strong protector be,
For in the earth are dark abodes
Of crime and cruelty,
Of crime and cruelty.
13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame,
No longer in Thy sight
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
Lord, vindicate the right,
Lord, vindicate the right. Scripture: Psalm 74 Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER

And make his honours known abroad;

2 Our children live secure and blest;
Our shores have peace, our cities rest;
He feeds our sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
3 The changing seasons he ordains,
The early and the latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And thus the springing corn defends.
4 With hoary frost he strews the ground:
His hail descends with dreadful sound:
The icy bands the rivers hold,
And terror arms his wintry cold.
5 He bids the southern breezes blow;
The ice dissolves, the waters flow:
But he hath nobler works and ways
To call his people to his praise.
6 Thro' all our realm his laws are shown;
His gospel through the nation known;
He hath not thus reveal'd his word
To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English
