Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCIV (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Dependence and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Great Lord of earth, and seas and skies! Thy wealth the needy world supplies; On thee alone the whole depends, Thy care to ev'ry part extends. 2 To thee perpetual thanks we owe, For all our comforts here below; Our daily bread thy bounty gives, And ev'ry rising want relieves. 3 The wastes of life thy pow'r repairs, Thy mercy stills tempestuous cares, And safe beneath thy guardian arm We live secur'd from ev'ry harm. 4 To thee we cheerful homage bring, In grateful hymns thy praises sing, Direct to thee our waiting eyes, And humbly look for fresh supplies. 5 We still our indigent and poor, Indebted much, yet lacking more; On thee we ever will depend, The rich, the sure, the faithful friend. 6 And, should thy measures seem severe, Calmly may we thy chast'ning bear, Without complaint to thee submit, Th' unerring Judge of what is fit.

Lord, we adore thy wondrous name

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XC (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Support of frail Man Lyrics: 1 Lord, we adore thy wond'rous name, And make that name our trust, Which rais'd at first this curious frame, From mean and lifeless dust. 2 A while these frail machines endure, The fabrick of a day; Then know their vital pow'rs no more, But moulder back to clay. 3 Yet, Lord! whate'er is felt or fear'd, This thought is our repose — That he, by whom this frame is rear'd, Its various weakness knows. 4 Thou view'st us with a pitying eye, Whilar struggling with our load; In pains and dangers thou art nigh, Our Father, and our God. 5 Gently supported by thy love, We tend to realms of peace; Where ev'ry pain shall far remove, And ev'ry frailty cease.
