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.

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.

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.

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

Pause. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with every circling sun; And, in the firmest state we boast, A moth can crush us into dust. 5 But let the creature fall around: Let death consign us to the ground; Let the last general flame arise, And melt the arches of the skies, 6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we Can all the wreck of nature see, While grace secures us an abode, Unshaken as the throne of God.

How cease the zeal that in me glows, Thy good to seek, whose walls inclose The mansions of my God? Languages: English
