When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: TH1961 #51 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When worn with sickness, oft hast thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through ev'ry period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity to thee A joyful song I'll raise; For O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: TH1961 #103 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; 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. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: TH1961 #639 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.

What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of thine elect, Then take thy pow'r, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'n thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
