Forms vain without religion

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty maker God! Lyrics: 1 Almighty maker God! How wond'rous is thy name! Thy glories now diffus'd abroad Thro' the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too, Fain would my tongue adore my king, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until tis form'd again. 5 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.

The shortnes of time, and frailty of man

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCLIII (1799) First Line: Almighty Maker of my frame Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker of my frame, Teach me the measure of my days! Teach me to know how frail I am, And spend the remnant to thy praise. 2 My days are shorter than a span, A little point my life appears; How frail at best is dying man! How vain are all his hopes and fears. 3 Vain his ambition, noise, and show! Vain are the cares which rack his mind! He heaps up treasures mix'd with woe, And dies and leaves them all behind. 4 O be a nobler portion mine; My God, I bow before thy throne, Earth's fleeting treasures I resign, And fix my hopes on thee alone.

A thanksgiving hymn

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXLIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Almighty Sov'reign of the skies Lyrics: 1 Almighty Sove'reign of the skies, To thee let songs of gladness rise, Each grateful heart its tribute bring, And ev'ry voice thy goodness sing. 2 'Twas thou that built this spacious earth, Thou gav'st to ev'ry creature birth, E'en man was fashioned by thy hand, And angels glow'd at thy command. 3 From thee our choicest blessings flow, Life, health, and strength, thy hands bestow, The daily good thy creatures share, Springs from thy providential care. 4 The rich profusion nature yields, The harvests waving o'er the fields, The cheering light, refreshing show'r, Are gifts from thy exhaustless store. 5 At thy command the vernal bloom, Revives the world from winter's gloom, The summer's heat the fruit matures, And autumn all her treasures pours. 6 From thee proceed domestic ties, Connubial bliss, paternal joy; On thy support the nations stand, Obedient to thy high command. 7 But how shall frail imperfect man, Whose being reaches but a span, Attempt in earth-born strains to prove, The wonders of Redeeming love! 8 Let ev'ry power of heart and tongue, Unite to swell the grateful song, While age and youth in chorus join, And praise the majesty divine.
