I Sing th'Almighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 469 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:1-22 Lyrics: 1 I sing th'amighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule by day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he form'd the creatures with his word,
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
where’er I turn my eye,
if I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky!
3 Creatures, as num'rous as they be,
are subject to thy care;
there's not a place where we can flee,
but God is present there.
His hand is my perpetual guard,
he keeps me with his eye;
why should I then forget the Lord,
who is forever nigh?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 235 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:2-3 First Line: Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire (Wesley) Lyrics: 1. Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.
2. Come, Holy Ghost (for moved by thee
the prophets wrote and spoke),
unlock the truth, thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
3. Expand thy wings, Celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
4. God, through himself, we then shall know
if thou within us shine,
and sound, with all thy saints below,
the depths of love divine.

Housman studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College of Art. He had great success as an illustrator, but when his eyesight began to fail, he turned to writing books and plays. He wrote 80 books during his lifetime. He often seemed to fall afoul of the censors, though, for religious and political reasons. A committed socialist and pacifist, in 1907, he helped found the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage. He was also an honorary associate of the Women Writers’ Suffrage League. His works include:
Jump-to-Glory Jane, by Meredith
Goblin Market, by Christiantina Rossetti, 1893
The End of Elfintown, by Jane Barlow, 1894
Spikenard, 1898
The Sensitive Plant, 1898
Bethlehem, 1902
The Blue Moon, 1904
Angels and Ministers, 1921
Little Plays of St. Francis, 1922
Victoria Regina, 1937
