Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #53 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes To Him who dwells above the skies; With your glad notes his praise rehearse Who form'd the mighty universe. 2 He spoke, and from the womb of night At once sprang up the cheering light; Him discord heard and at his nod Beauty awoke, and spoke the GOD. 3 The word he gave th' obedient sun Began his glorious grace to run: Nor silver moon, nor stars delay To glide along th' etherial way. 4 Teeming with life, air, earth, and sea Obey th' Almighty's high decree; To every tribe he gives their food, Then speaks the whole divinely good. 5 But to complete the wond'rous plan, From earth and dust he fashions man; In man the last, in him the best, The Maker's image stands confest. 6 LORD, while thy glorious works I view, Form thou my heart and soul anew; Here bid thy purest light to shine, And beauty glow with charms divine.

Father of love! from age to age

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #61 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 22:14 Lyrics: 1 Father of love! from age to age The wonders of thy grace, The heart and lips of saints engage, In cheerful songs, to praise. 2 Creatures in various trains to thee Raise the dependant eye; Thy stores of goodness rich and free, Their various wants supply. 3 But O! the treasures of thy love, To man's apostate race, Are boundless mysteries, far above Both man's and angel's praise. 4 Jesus! in whom a fulness dwells, Thro' endless years the same, To every hungry soul reveals The glories of his name. 5 Thousands in this dark world below, His faithfulness attest; In worlds above ten thousand know, That humble souls are blest.

The Lord! how fearful is his name!

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #45 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 33:19 Lyrics: 1 The Lord! how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst, with a smile, or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 A word of his almighty breath Can swell or sink the seas; Build the vast empires of the earth, Or break them, as he please. 4 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His SOVEREIGN eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 5 His bowels to our worthless race In sweet compassion move; He clothes his looks with softest grace, And takes his title, LOVE. 6 Now let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain We are his fav'rites still. 7 No more shall peevish passion rise, The tongue no more complain; 'Tis SOVEREIGN LOVE that lends our joys, And love resumes again.

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #35 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Exodus 34:5-7 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various, and his saving NAMES; O may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known! 2 Let great JEHOVAH be ador'd, Th' eternal, all-sufficient LORD; He thro' the world most high confess'd, By whom 'twas form'd and is possess'd. 3 Awake, our noblest powers, to bless The GOD of Abr'ham, GOD of PEACE; Now by a dearer title known, Father and GOD of Christ his Son. 4 Thro' ev'ry age his gracious ear Is open to his servants' prayer; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it hath sought its GOD in vain. 5 What unbelieving heart shall dare, In whispers to suggest a fear? While still he owns his ancient name, The same his power, his love the same. 6 To thee our souls in faith arise, To thee we lift expectin eyes; And boldly thro' the desert tread, For GOD will guard, where GOD shall lead.

Eternal God! Almighty cause

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #36 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4 Lyrics: 1 Eternal GOD! Almighty cause Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown; All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious Being simply stands, Of all within itself possest; Control'd by none are thy commands; Thou from thyself alone art blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heaven and earth due homage pay; All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 Spread thy great name thro' heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Reduce the world to thy command; And reign, as thou art, GOD alone.

When o'er the trodden paths of life

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #63 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2 Lyrics: 1 When, o'er the trodden paths of life, Backwards I turn mine eyes, What varied scenes, throughout the road, Awaken my surprise! 2 Thousands, to whom my natal hour Imparted vital breath, Just looked on life, and closed their eyes In the fast sleep of death. 3 Thousands, who climb'd to manhood's stage; Safe through unnumber'd snares; Travell'd not far before they sunk Amidst its thorns and cares. 4 Follow'd thro' every changing stage, With goodness all my days, Deny me not a heart to love, A tongue to speak thy praise. 5 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, My grateful lips shall give; And, while I make thy grace my trust, To thee alone I'll live. 6 Then thousand thousand thanks to thee, Echo along the road; O! may I join those endless songs, That fill thy blest abode.

Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #50 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ezra 3:11 Lyrics: 1 Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns Through all the wide celestial plains; And its full streams redundant flow Down to th' abodes of men below. 2 Thro' nature's works its glories shine; The cares of providence are thine: And grace erects our ruin'd frame, A fairer temple to thy name. 3 O give to every human heart To taste, and feel, how GOOD thou art; With grateful love, and reverend fear, To know how blest thy children are. 4 Let nature burst into a song; Ye echoing hills, the notes prolong: Earth, seas, and stars, your anthems raise, All vocal with your Maker's praise. 5 Ye saints with joy the theme pursue, Its sweetest notes belong to you; Elected by your heavenly king, For ever round his throne to sing.

The great Jehovah, who shall dare

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #42 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Job 9:4 Lyrics: 1 The GREAT JEHOVAH! who shall dare With him to tempt unequal war; What heart of steel shall dare t'oppose, And league among his harden'd foes. 2 At his command the light'nings dart, And swift transfix the rebel-heart: Earth trembles at his look and cleaves, And legions sink in living graves. 3 See Pharaoh sinking in the tide! See Babel's tyrant, mad with pride, Graze with the beasts! hear Herod roar, While worms his deity devour! 4 See from the turrets of the skies, Tall cherubs sink no more to rise; And trace their rank on thrones of light by heavier chains and darker night! 5 GREAT GOD! and shall this soul of mine Presume to challenge wrath divine? Trembling I seek thy mercy-seat, And lay my weapons at thy feet. Languages: English

God is a name my soul adores

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #40 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Job 11:7 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores, Th'Almighty THREE, th'eternal ONE! Nature and grace, with all their powers Confess the infinite unknown. 2 Thy voice produc'd the sea and spheres, Bid the waves roar, and planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears, Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows; From change to change the creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 Thrones and dominions round thee fall, And worship is submissive forms; Thy presence shakes this lower ball, This little dwelling place of worms. 5 How shall affrighted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie so far, And see but shadows of thy face! 6 Who can behold this blazing light! Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might, None but thy word can speak thy name. Languages: English

A glory gilds the sacred page

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #31 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 19:4-6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun: It gives a light to every age; It gives, but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above.
