The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Church Book #79 (1890) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
2 The unwearied sun from day to day
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an Almighty Hand.
3 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale;
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth:
4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
5 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball,
What though 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." Topics: Creation Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELS' SONG
The spacious firmament on high
Great God! we sing that mighty Hand
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Church Book #137 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God! we sing that mighty Hand,
By which supported still we stand:
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
Let mercy crown it, till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or deprest,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues;
Our Helper God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our souls shall boast. Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELS' SONG
Great God! we sing that mighty Hand
