Still may our grateful hearts consult Thy works' instructive page! 6 And while in all thy wondrous works, Thy varied love we see; Still may the contemplation lead Our hearts, O God, to thee!

What tho' no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing, as they shine-- The hand that made us is divine.

Oh may we never God offend, Who is forever nigh! Topics: Of God The Works of God

That band remotest nations joins; And on each wave his goodness shines. 4 But O! that brighter world above, Where lives and reigns incarnate love! God's only Son, in flesh array'd, For man a bleeding victim made! 5 Thither my soul, with rapture soar; There in the land of praise adore! The theme demands an angel's lay, Demands an everlasting day. Topics: Of God The Works of God

All nature feels thy pow'r; but man A grateful tribute pays to thee. 2 Subject to wants, to thee he looks, And from thy goodness seeks supplies; And, when oppress'd with guilt, he mourns Thy mercy lifts him to the skies. 3 Children, whose little minds, unform'd, Ne'er rais'd a tender thought to heav'n; And men, whom reason lifts to God, Tho' oft by passion downward driv'n; 4 Those, too, who bend with age and care, And faint and tremble near the tomb, Who, sick'ning at the present scenes, Sigh for that better state to come: 5 All, great Creator! all are thine; All feel thy providential care; And thro' each varying scene of life, Alike thy constant pity share. 6 And, whether grief oppress the heart, Or whether joy elate the breast, Or life still keep its little course, Or death invite the heart to rest: 7 All are thy messengers, and all Thy sacred pleasure, Lord, obey; And all are training man to dwell Nearer to bliss; and nearer thee.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals First Line: Through all the various shifting scene Lyrics: 1 Through all the various shifting scenes, Of life's mistaken ill or good, Thy hand, O God, conducts, unseen The beautiful vicissitude. 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 pow'r? Fix we on this terrestrial ball? When most secure, the coming hour, If thou see fit, may blast them all. 4 Thy pow'rful consolations cheer; Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh; Thy hand can dry the trickling tear, That secret wets the widow's eye. 5 All things on earth, and all in heav'n On thy eternal will depend; And all for greater good were giv'n, Would man pursue th'appointed end. 6 Be this be my care:--To all beside, Indiff'rent let my wishes be. Passion be calm, abas'd be pride, And fix'd my soul, great God! on thee. Topics: Of God Providence of God
