Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals 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.
Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes
Father of love! from age to age
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals 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.
Father of love! from age to age
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.
The Lord! how fearful is his name!
