Father, how wide thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:1 Lyrics: 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still. 3 But when we read thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs chant Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:3 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God: In vain the loftiest angel tries To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings, He hides his face beneath his wings; Seraphs that most with ardor glow, Still at an humble distance bow. 3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learned to lisp thy name; But oh, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 4 God is in heaven and man below; Soft be our strains, our words be few; A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits trembling on our tongues.

Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:3-8 Lyrics: 1 God in such love for us lent us this planet, gave it a purpose in time and in space: small as a spark from the fire of creation, cradle of life and the home of our race. 2 Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty, life that sustains us in body and mind: plenty for all, if we learn how to share it, riches undreamed-of to fathom and find. 3 Long have our human wars ruined its harvest; long has earth bowed to the terror of force; long have we wasted what others have need of, poisoned the fountain of life at its source. 4 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it, Ours, as God's stewards, to farm and defend. From its pollution, misuse, and destruction, good Lord, deliver us, world without end!
