As thy days, so shall thy strength be

God exalted above all Praise

We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name; But O, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in Heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes, our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

God's only Son in flesh array'd, For man a bleeding victim made. 6 Thither, my soul, with rapture soar; There in the Land of Praise adore; The theme demands an angel's lay, Demands an undeclining day.

Providence eauitable and kind

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XXII (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thro' all the various shifting scenes Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the various shifting scenes, Of life's mistaken good or ill; Thy hand, O God, conducts unseen Our changes by thy sov'reign will. 2 Thou givest with paternal care, Howe'er unjustly we complain, To each their necessary share Of joy and sorrow, health and pain. 3 Trust we to youth, or friends, or power, Fix we on this terrestrial ball? When most secure, the coming hour, If thou see fit, may blast them all. 4 When lowest sunk with grief and shame, Fill'd with affliction's bitter cup, Lost to relations, friends, and fame, Thy powerful hand can raise us up. 5 Thy gracious consolations cheer, Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh, Thy hand can dry the trickling tear That secret wets th' afflicted eye. 6 All things on earth, and all in heaven On thy eternal will depend; And all for greater good were given, And all shall in thy glory end. 7 this be my care; to all beside Indifferent let my wishes be; Passion be calm; and dumb be pride, And fix'd, O God, my soul on thee.
