In all my vast concerns with thee

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #11 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: In all my vast concerns with thee, In vain my soul would try To shun thy presence, Lord, or flee The notice of thine eye. Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast. My thoughts lie open to the Lord Before they're formed within; And ere my lips pronounce the word He knows the sense I mean. O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide? Within thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love. Lord, where shall guilty souls retire, Forgotten and unknown? In hell they meet thy dreadful fire, In heav'n thy glorious throne. Should I suppress my vital breath To 'scape the wrath divine, Thy voice would break the bars of death, And make the grave resign. If winged with beams of morning light I fly beyond the west, Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest. If o'er my sins I think to draw The curtains of the night, Those flaming eyes that guard thy law Would turn the shades to light. The beams of noon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to thee O may I ne'er provoke that power From which I cannot flee.

Terrible God, who reign'st on high

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #16 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Terrible God, that reign'st on high, How awful is thy thund'ring hand! Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly! Nor can all earth or hell withstand. This the old rebel angels knew, And Satan fell beneath thy frown; Thine arrows struck the traitor through, And weighty vengeance sunk him down. This Sodom felt, and feels it still, And roars beneath th' eternal load: "With endless burnings who can dwell? Or bear the fury of a God?" Tremble, ye sinners, and submit, Throw down your arms before his throne; Bend your heads low beneath his feet, Or his strong hand shall crush you down. And ye, blest saints, that love him too, With rev'rence bow before his name; Thus all his heav'nly servants do: God is a bright and burning flame.

Ye that delight to serve the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #17 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Ye that delight to serve the Lord, The honors of his name record, His sacred name for ever bless; Where'er the circling sun displays His rising beams, or setting rays, Let lands and seas his power confess. Not time, nor nature's narrow rounds, Can give his vast dominion bounds, The heav'ns are far below his height: Let no created greatness dare With our eternal God compare, Armed with his uncreated might. He bows his glorious head to view What the bright hosts of angels do, And bends his care to mortal things; His sovereign hand exalts the poor, He takes the needy from the door, And makes them company for kings. When childless families despair, He sends the blessing of an heir, To rescue their expiring name; The mother, with a thankful voice, Proclaims his praises and her joys: Let every age advance his fame. Topics: God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God and condescension Scripture: Psalm 113 Languages: English

Ye servants of th' almighty King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #18 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Ye servants of th' Almighty King, In every age his praises sing; Where'er the sun shall rise or set, The nations shall his praise repeat. Above the earth, beyond the sky, Stands his high throne of majesty; Nor time nor place his power restrain, Nor bound his universal reign. Which of the sons of Adam dare, Or angels, with their God compare? His glories how divinely bright, Who dwells in uncreated light! Behold his love! he stoops to view What saints above and angels do; And condescends yet more to know The mean affairs of men below. From dust and cottages obscure, His grace exalts the humble poor; Gives them the honor of his sons, And fits them for their heav'nly thrones. [A word of his creating voice Can make the barren house rejoice; Though Sarah's ninety years were past, The promised seed is born at last. With joy the mother views her son, And tells the wonders God has done: Faith may grow strong when sense despairs, If nature fails, the promise bears.] Topics: God his sovereignty and goodness to man; God and condescension Scripture: Psalm 113 Languages: English
