O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: O worship the King all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

O Worship the King
Psalm 104
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: My soul, thy great Creator praise: Lyrics:
My soul, thy great Creator praise:
When clothed in his celestial rays,
He in full majesty appears,
And, like a robe, his glory wears.
The heav'ns are for his curtains spread,
The unfathomed deep he makes his bed.
Clouds are his chariot when he flies
On winged storms across the skies.
Angels, whom his own breath inspires,
His ministers, are flaming fires;
And swift as thought their armies move
To bear his vengeance or his love.
The world's foundations by his hand
Are poised, and shall for ever stand;
He binds the ocean in his chain,
Lest it should drown the earth again.
When earth was covered with the flood,
Which high above the mountains stood,
He thundered, and the ocean fled,
Confined to its appointed bed.
The swelling billows know their bound,
And in their channels walk their round;
Yet thence conveyed by secret veins,
They spring on hills and drench the plains.
He bids the crystal fountains flow,
And cheer the valleys as they go;
Tame heifers there their thirst allay,
And for the stream wild asses bray.
From pleasant trees which shade the brink,
The lark and linnet light to drink
Their songs the lark and linnet raise,
And chide our silence in his praise.
God from his cloudy cistern pours
On the parched earth enriching showers;
The grove, the garden, and the field,
A thousand joyful blessings yield.
He makes the grassy food arise,
And gives the cattle large supplies
With herbs for man of various power,
To nourish nature or to dire.
What noble fruit the vines produce!
The olive yields a shining juice;
Our hearts are cheered with gen'rous wine,
With inward joy our faces shine.
O bless his name, ye Britons, fed
With nature's chief supporter, bread;
While bread your vital strength imparts,
Serve him with vigor in your hearts.
Behold, the stately cedar stands,
Raised in the forest by his hands;
Birds to the boughs for shelter fly,
And build their nests secure on high.
To craggy hills ascends the goat,
And at the airy mountain's foot
The feebler creatures make their cell;
He gives them wisdom where to dwell.
He sets the sun his circling race,
Appoints the moon to change her face;
And when thick darkness veils the day,
Calls out wild beasts to hunt their prey.
Fierce lions lead their young abroad,
And, roaring, ask their meat from God;
But when the morning beams arise,
The savage beast to covert flies.
Then man to daily labor goes;
The night was made for his repose;
Sleep is thy gift, that sweet relief
From tiresome toil and wasting grief.
How strange thy works! how great thy skill!
And every land thy riches fill:
Thy wisdom round the world we see;
This spacious earth is full of thee.
Nor less thy glories in the deep,
Where fish in millions swim and creep
With wondrous motions, swift or slow,
Still wand'ring in the paths below.
There ships divide their wat'ry way,
And flocks of scaly monsters play;
There dwells the huge leviathan,
And foams and sports in spite of man.
Vast are thy works, Almighty Lord;
All nature rests upon thy word,
And the whole race of creatures stands
Waiting their portion from thy hands.
While each receives his diff'rent food,
Their cheerful looks pronounce it good:
Eagles and bears, and whales and worms,
Rejoice and praise in diff'rent forms.
But when thy face is hid, they mourn,
And, dying, to their dust return;
Both man and beast their souls resign;
Life, breath, and spirit, all is thine.
Yet thou canst breathe on dust again,
And fill the world with beasts and men;
A word of thy creating breath
Repairs the wastes of time and death.
His works, the wonders of his might,
Are honored with his own delight;
How awful are his glorious ways!
The Lord is dreadful in his praise.
The earth stands trembling at thy stroke,
And at thy touch the mountains smoke;
Yet humble souls may see thy face,
And tell their wants to sovereign grace.
In thee my hopes and wishes meet,
And make my meditations sweet;
Thy praises shall my breath employ,
Till it expire in endless joy.
While haughty sinners die accursed,
Their glory buried with their dust,
I to my God, my heav'nly King,
Immortal hallelujahs sing.
Great is the Lord, what tongue can frame
An equal honor to his name?

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all.

each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colours,
he made their tiny wings: [Refrain]
2 The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset, and the morning
that brightens up the sky: [Refrain]

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Author: Henry van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 267 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore you,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before you,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the gloom of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
2 All your works with joy surround you,
Earth and heav'n reflect your rays,
Stars and angels sing around you,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Praising you eternally!
3 Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our brother,
Let your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Bless God, my Soul,; Thou, Lord, alone
Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Bless God, my Soul; thou, Lord, alone
Possessest Empire without Bounds,
With Honour Thou art crown'd, thy Throne
Eternal Majesty surrounds.
2 With Light Thou dost thyself enrobe,
And Glory for a Garment take;
Heaven's Curtains stretch, beyond the Globe,
Thy Canopy of State to make.
3 God builds on liquid Air, and forms
His Palace Chambers in the Skies;
The Clouds his Chariots are, and Storms
The swift-wing'd Steeds with which he flies.
4 As bright as Flame, as swift as Wind,
His Ministers Heaven's Palace fill,
To have their sundry Tasks assign'd
All proud to serve their Sov'reign's Will.
5,6 Earth on her Centre fix'd He set,
Her Face with Waters overspread;
Nor proudest Mountains dar'd as yet,
To lift above the Waves their Head.
7 But when thy awful Face appear'd,
Th' insulting Waves dispers'd; they fled,
When once thy Thunder's Voice they heard,
And by their Haste confess'd their Dread.
8 Thence up by secret Tracks they creep,
And gushing from the Mountain's Side,
Thro' Vallies travel to the Deep,
Appointed to receive their Tide.
9 There hast thou fix'd the Ocean's Bounds,
The threatning Surges to repel;
That they no more o'erpass their Mounds,
Nor to a second Deluge swell.
Part II
10 Yet thence in smaller Parties drawn,
The Sea recovers her lost Hills;
And starting Springs from ev'ry Lawn,
Surprize the Vales with plenteous Rills.
11 The Fields tame Beasts are thither led,
Weary with Labour, faint with Drought;
And Asses on wild Mountains bred,
Have Sense to find these Currents out.
12 There shady Trees from scorching Beams,
Yield Shelter to the feather'd Throng;
They drink, and to the bounteous Streams
Return the Tribute of their Song.
13 His Rains from Heav'n parch'd hills recruit,
That soon transmit the liquid Store;
'Till Earth is burthen'd with her Fruit,
And Nature's Lap can hold no more.
14 Grass, for our Cattle to devour,
He makes the Growth of ev'ry Field;
Herbs, for Man's Use of various Pow'r,
That either Food or Physick yield.
15 With cluster'd Grapes he crowns the vine,
To chear Man's Heart opprest with Cares,
Give Oil that makes his Face to shine;
And Corn, that wasted Strength repairs.
Part III
16 The Trees of God, without the Care
Or Art of Man, with Sap are fed;
The Mountain Cedar looks as fair,
As those in royal Gardens bred.
17 Safe in the lofty Cedar's Arm's
The Wand'rers of the Air may rest;
The hospitable Pine from Harms
Protects the Stork, her pious Guest.
18 Wild Goats the craggy Rock ascend,
Its tow'ring Heights their Fortress make,
Whose Cells in labyrinths extend,
Where feebler Creatures Refuge take.
19 The Moon's inconstant Aspect shows
Th' appointed Seasons of the Year;
Th' instructed Sun his Duty knows,
His Hours to rise and disappear.
20,21 Darkness He makes the Earth to shroud,
When Forest-Beasts securely stray;
Young Lions roar their Wants aloud
To Providence, that sends them Prey.
22 They range all Night, on Slaughter bent,
'Till summon'd by the rising Morn,
To skulk in Dens with one Consent,
The conscious Ravagers return.
23 Forth to the Tillage of the Soil,
The Husbandman securely goes,
Commencing with the Sun his Toil,
With him returns to his Repose.
24 How various, Lord, thy Works are found;
For which thy Wisdom we adore!
The Earth is with thy Treasure crown'd,
'Till Nature's Hand can grasp no more.
Part IV
25 But still, the vast unfathom'd Main
Of Wonders a new Scene supplies,
Whose Depths Inhabitants contain,
Of ev'ry Form and ev'ry Size.
26 Full-freighted Ships from ev'ry Port,
There cut their unmolested Way;
Leviathan, whom there to sport
Thou mad'st, his Compass there to play.
27 These various Troops of Sea and Land,
In Sense of common Want agree:
All wait on thy dispensing Hand,
And have their daily Alms from Thee.
28 They gather what thy Stores disperse,
Without their Trouble to provide:
Thou op'st thy Hand, the Universe,
The craving World is all supply'd.
29 Thou for a Moment hid'st thy Face,
The num'rous Ranks of Creatures mourn:
Thou tak'st their Breath, all Nature's Race
Forthwith to Mother-Earth return.
30 Again thou send'st thy Spirit forth,
T'inspire the Mass with vital Seed;
Nature's restor'd, and Parent-Earth
Smiles on her new-created Breed.
31 Thus through successive Ages stands
Firm fix'd thy providential Care;
Pleas'd with the Work of thy own Hands,
Thou dost the Wastes of Time repair.
32 One Look of thine, one wrathful Look,
Earth's panting Breast with Terror fills;
One Touch from Thee, with Clouds of Smoak,
In Darkness shrouds the proudest Hills.
33 In praising God, while He prolongs
My Breath, I will that Breath employ;
34 And join Devotion to my Songs
Sincere, as in Him is my Joy:
35 While Sinners from Earth's Face are hurl'd,
My Soul, praise thou his holy Name,
'Till with my Song, the list'ning world
Join Consort, and his Praise proclaim.
Bless God, my Soul,; Thou, Lord, alone
We Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 We sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad
and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 We sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread
or gaze upon the skies.
3 There's not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be,
you, God, are present there.

with glory arrayed, majestic his state;
the light is his garment, the skies are his shade,
and over the waters his courts he has laid.
2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm,
the lightning and wind his mission perform;
the earth he has founded her station to keep,
and wrapped as a vesture about her the deep.
3 He waters the hills with rain from the skies,
and plentiful grass and herbs he supplies,
supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil
with bread in abundance, with wine and with oil.
4 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed,
and over the earth their branches are spread;
they keep in their shelter the birds of the air,
the life of each creature the Lord makes his care.
5 Your Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
the earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
to God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
let God in his creatures forever delight.
6 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
while sinners depart in ruin complete;
my soul, bless Jehovah, his name be adored,
come, praise him, you people, and worship the Lord.

Psalm 104: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God Lyrics:
1Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God,
thou art exceeding great;
With honour and with majesty
thou clothed art in state.
2With light, as with a robe, thyself
thou coverest about;
And, like unto a curtain, thou
the heavens stretchest out.
3Who of his chambers doth the beams
within the waters lay;
Who doth the clouds his chariot make,
on wings of wind make way.
4Who flaming fire his ministers,
his angels sp’rits, doth make:
5Who earth’s foundations did lay,
that it should never shake.
6Thou didst it cover with the deep,
as with a garment spread:
The waters stood above the hills,
when thou the word but said.
7But at the voice of thy rebuke
they fled, and would not stay;
They at thy thunder’s dreadful voice
did haste them fast away.
8They by the mountains do ascend,
and by the valley-ground
Descend, unto that very place
which thou for them didst found.
9Thou hast a bound unto them set,
that they may not pass over,
That they do not return again
the face of earth to cover.
10He to the valleys sends the springs,
which run among the hills:
11They to all beasts of field give drink,
wild asses drink their fills.
12By them the fowls of heav’n shall have
their habitation,
Which do among the branches sing
with delectation.
13He from his chambers watereth
the hills, when they are dry’d:
With fruit and increase of thy works
the earth is satisfy’d.
14For cattle he makes grass to grow,
he makes the herb to spring
For th’ use of man, that food to him
he from the earth may bring;
15And wine, that to the heart of man
doth cheerfulness impart,
Oil that his face makes shine, and bread
that strengtheneth his heart.
16The trees of God are full of sap;
the cedars that do stand
In Lebanon, which planted were
by his almighty hand.
17Birds of the air upon their boughs
do chuse their nests to make;
As for the stork, the fir-tree she
doth for her dwelling take.
18The lofty mountains for wild goats
a place of refuge be;
The conies also to the rocks
do for their safety flee.
19He sets the moon in heav’n, thereby
the seasons to discern:
From him the sun his certain time
of going down doth learn.
20Thou darkness mak’st, ‘tis night, then beasts
of forests creep abroad.
21The lions young roar for their prey,
and seek their meat from God.
22The sun doth rise, and home they flock,
down in their dens they lie.
23Man goes to work, his labour he
doth to the ev’ning ply.
24How manifold, Lord, are thy works!
in wisdom wonderful
Thou ev’ry one of them hast made;
earth’s of thy riches full:
25So is this great and spacious sea,
wherein things creeping are,
Which number’d cannot be; and beasts
both great and small are there.
26There ships go; there thou mak’st to play
that leviathan great.
27These all wait on thee, that thou may’st
in due time give them meat.
28That which thou givest unto them
they gather for their food;
Thine hand thou open’st lib’rally,
they filled are with good.
29Thou hid’st thy face; they troubled are,
their breath thou tak’st away;
Then do they die, and to their dust
return again do they.
30Thy quick’ning spirit thou send’st forth,
then they created be;
And then the earth’s decayed face
renewed is by thee.
31The glory of the mighty Lord
continue shall for ever:
The Lord Jehovah shall rejoice
in all his works together.
32Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all,
if he on it but look;
And if the mountains he but touch,
they presently do smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord most high,
so long as I shall live;
And while I being have I shall
to my God praises give.
34Of him my meditation shall
sweet thoughts to me afford;
And as for me, I will rejoice
in God, my only Lord.
35From earth let sinners be consum’d,
let ill men no more be.
O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Your Spirit, O LORD, Makes Life to Abound
Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Your Spirit, O LORD, makes life to abound.
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground.
To God be all glory and wisdom and might.
May God in his creatures forever delight.
2 My soul, praise the LORD! The LORD is most great,
with glory arrayed, majestic in state.
The light is his garment, the skies form a tent,
and over the waters his couriers are sent.
3 He rides on the clouds and wings of the storm.
The lightning and wind his mission perform.
Foundations of earth he forever has stayed;
to cover it, oceans like garments were laid.
4 On mountains and plains the dark waters lay.
They heard his rebuke and hurried away.
He lifted the mountains, to valleys gave birth,
set boundaries for seas that once covered the earth. Repeat stanza 1
5 God causes the springs of water to flow
in streams from the hills to valleys below.
The LORD gives the streams for all living things there,
while birds with their singing enrapture the air.
6 Down mountains and hills your showers are sent.
With fruit of your work the earth is content.
You give grass for cattle and food for our toil,
enriching our labors with bread, wine, and oil.
7 The trees that the LORD has planted are fed,
and over the earth their branches are spread.
They keep in their shelter the birds of the air.
The life of each creature God keeps in his care. Repeat stanza 1
8 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine.
The slow-changing moon shows forth God's design.
The sun in its circuit its Maker obeys
and, running its journey, hastes not nor delays.
9 The LORD makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
the lions go forth, God's bounty to share.
The LORD makes the morning, when beasts steal away,
when we are beginning the work of the day.
10 How many and wise the works of the LORD!
The earth with its wealth of creatures is stored.
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro;
Leviathan plays in the waters below.
11 Your creatures all look to you for their food.
Your hand opens wide, they gather the good.
When you hide your face, LORD, in anguish they yearn;
when you stop their breathing, to dust they return. Repeat stanza 1
12 Before the LORD's might earth trembles and quakes.
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks.
I promise to worship the LORD all my days.
Yes, while I have being, my God I will praise.
13 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet.
May sinners depart in ruin complete.
My soul, praise the LORD God his name be adored.
Come, praise him, all people, and worship the LORD.

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: W. Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 211 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104:31-35 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all life Thou givest--to both great and small--
In all life Thou livest, the true Life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree
And wither and perish--but naught changes Thee.
4 Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light that hides Thee.

The Works of the Lord Are Created
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: The works of the Lord are created in wisdom Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom!
We view the earth's wonders and call him to mind;
we hear what he says in the world we discover,
and God show his glory in all that we find.
2 Not even the angels have ever been granted
to tell the full story of nature and grace;
but open to God is all human perception,
the mysteries of time and the secrets of space.
3 The sun every morning lights up all creation,
the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn;
the glittering stars are arrayed in his honor,
adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn.
4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal,
the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice;
the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds,
the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice.
5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it,
and where find the skill to perfect all God's praise?
At work in all places, he cares for all peoples--
how great is the Lord to the end of all days! Topics: God in Creation God's Work in Nature; God Goodness; God Transcendence; God Wisdom; Nature Used With Tune: KREMSER Text Sources: Based on Ecclesiasticus 42, 43

Benedic anima
Author: W. K. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: My soule praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 My soule praise the Lord,
speak good of his Name:
O Lord our great God,
how dost thou appear?
So passing in glorie,
that great is thy fame,
Honour and majestie
in thee shine most cleare.
2 With light as a robe
thou hast thee beclad:
Whereby all the earth
thy greatnesse may see.
The heavens in such sort
thou also hast spread,
That they to a curtaine
compared may be.
3 His chamber-beams lie
in the clouds full sure:
Which as his chariot
are made him to beare.
And there with much swiftnesse
his course doth endure,
Upon the wings riding
of winds in the aire.
4 He maketh his spirits
as Heralds to go:
And lightnings to serve
we see also prest:
His will to accomplish
they run to and fro,
To save or consume things
as seemeth him best.
5 He groundeth the earth
so firmly and fast,
That it once to move
none shall have such power.
6 The deep a faire covering
for it made thou hast:
Which by its own nature
the hils would devoure.
7 But at thy rebuke
the waters do flie:
And so give due place
thy word to obey.
At thy voice of thunder
so fearfull they be:
That in their great raging
they hast soon away.
8 The mountain3s full high
they then up ascend:
If thou do but speak,
thy word they fulfill:
So likewise the vallies
most quickly descend,
Where thou them appointest,
remaine they do still.
9 Their bounds thou hast set,
how farre they shall run;
So that in their rage
not that pass they can:
For God hath appointed
they shall not return,
The earth to destroy more,
which made was for man.
The second Part.
10 He sendeth the springs
to strong streames or lakes,
Which run do full swift
among the huge hils.
11 Where both the wild asses
their thirst oft times slakes,
And beasts of the mountaines
thereof drink their fils.
12 By these pleasant springs
of fountaines full faire
The fowles of the ayre
abide shall and dwell:
Who moved by nature
do hop here and there:
Among the green branches
their songs shall excell.
13 The mountains to moist
the clouds he doth use:
The earth with his works
is wholly repleat.
14 So as the bruit cattel
he doth not refuse:
But grasse doth provide them,
and herb for man's meat.
15 Yea bread, wine, and oyle
he made for mans sake:
His face to refresh,
and heart to make strong.
16 The Cedars of Liban
this great Lord did make:
Which trees he doth nourish.
that grow up so long.
17 In these may birds build,
and make there their nests:
In firre-trees the Storks
remaine and abide.
18 The high hils are succour
for wild goats to rest:
And eke the rock stony
for Conies to hide.
19 The Moon then is set
her seasons to run:
The daies from the night
thereby to discern:
And by the descending
also of the Sun,
The cold from heat alway
thereby we do learn.
20 When darkness doth come
by God's will and power,
Then creep forth do all
the beasts of the wood.
21 The Lions range roaring
their prey to devoure:
But yet it is thou Lord
which givest them food.
22 As soon as the Sun
is up, they retire:
To couch in their dens
then are they full faine:
23 That man to his work may
as right doth require:
Till night come and call him,
to take rest againe.
The third Part.
17 How sundry O Lord,
are all thy works found?
With wisdome full great
they are indeed wrought:
So that the whole world
of thy praise doth sound:
And as for thy riches,
they passe all mens thoughts.
25 So is the great sea,
which is large and broad:
Where things that creep swarm,
and beasts of each sort.
26 There both mighty ships saile,
and some lie at road:
The Whale huge and monstrous
there also doth sport.
27 All things on thee wait,
thou dost them relieve:
And thou in due time
full well dost them feed.
28 Now when it doth please thee
the same for to give:
They gather full gladly
those things which they need.
Thou openest thy hand,
and they find such grace,
That they with good things
are filled we see.
29 But sore they are troubled,
if thou bide thy face,
For if thou their breath take,
vile dust then they be.
30 Againe when thy Spirit
from thee doth proceed,
All things to appoint,
and what shall ensue:
Then are they created
as thou bast decreed:
And dost by tHy goodnesse
the dry earth renew.
31 The praise of the Lord
for ever shall last:
Who may in his works
by right well rejoyce.
32 His look can the earth make
to tremble full fast:
And likewise the mountaines
to smoke at his voice,
33 To this Lord and God
sing will I alwaies:
So long as I live,
my God praise will I:
34 Then an I most certaine
my words shall him please;
I will rejoyce in him,
to him I will cry.
24 The sinners, O Lord,
consume in thine ire:
Amd ele the perverse,
them root out with shame:
But as for my soul now,
let it still desire,
And say with the faithfull,
praise ye the Lord's Name. Used With Tune: [My soule praise the Lord]

O thou, my soul, Jehovah bless for thou art great
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 O Thou my soul, JEHOVAH bless;
for Thou art great and high,
O LORD my God, with honour cloath'd,
and comely majesty.
2 With shining robes of purest light
Thou dost thy self array;
And like a curtain to thy throne
Thou dost the heav'ns display.
3 His chamber-beams on waters lays,
and clouds his chariot makes,
And on the wings of mighty winds
his steps serenely takes.
4 His angels active spirits makes,
who glad before Him stand;
His ministers as lightning fly
to compass his command,
5 The deep foundations of the earth
so firmly did he lay,
That never From their fixed place
shall they be mov'd away.
6 A$ with a robe Thou o'er the earth
didst spread the spacious flood:
Above the mountains highest heads,
the mighty waters flood.
7 But then at thy rebuke they fled,
they dare no longer stay,
And at thy thunders dreadful voice
they hasted quick away.
8 As down they rush, the mountains rise,
the vallies sink below;
And to the deeps Thou mad'ft for them
tumultuously they flow.
9 There hast Thou set their certain bound,
which they may not pass o'er;
That they to overwhelm the earth
may turn again no more.
[2 Part]
10 He sends the springs and streaming rills
along the vales to glide;
Which running all among the hills,
refresh on every side.
11 Thence drink to the field-beasts he gives,
their thirst wild asses slake:
12 And on their bord'ring boughs the birds
their sweetest musick make.
13 From his high chambers plenteous stores
He waters all the hills;
And with the fruit of those his works
the earth He richly fills.
14 For beasts He makes the grass to grow,
and herbs for human use;
He makes the earth for ev'ry one
their various food produce.
15 To glad man's heart He makes the earth
to bring forth grapes for wine;
Heart-strengthning bread, and suppling oyl
to make his face to shine.
16 JEHOVAH's great and lofty trees,
with sap thence filled are;
The cedars of mount Lebanon,?
which He hath planted there.
17 Upon their branches cheerful birds
quite fearless build their nest;
And lodg'd aloft on stately firs
the storks securely rest.
18 The tow'ring mountains for wild goats
places of refuge are;
The clefts of rocks for feebler tribes,
who make their dwelling there.
19 The changing moon He constitutes
the seasons forth to show;
The sun his time of going down
exactly makes to know.
20 Thou dost the earth with darkness spread,
and night succeeds the day;
When wild beasts creeping from the wood«,
are bold thro' fields to stray.
21 Young lions then range here and there,
and hunt for prey abroad:
But when they find no prey, they roar,
and call for meat to God.
22 But when the sun begins to rise
and makes the shades to fly,
They all retire to hide themselves
and close in dens they lie.
23 Then man goes forth with chearfulness
his labours to begin;
And plies his work throughout the day,
till evening calls him in.
[3 Part]
24 How various are thy works, O Lord
and With what wisdom made!
Thy riches fill the earth within,
and ev'n all over spread.
15 So is this great and spacious sea,
where swarms of creatures creep;
And shoals of fish both small and great,
which traverse through the deep.
26 There sail the ships amidst the waves,
[thy winds give them their way.]
And there's the great Leviathan,
Thou mad'st therein to play.
27 All these on Thee submissive wait,
and on thy care depend,
That Thou their vigour to renew,
may'st food in season send.
28 That which Thou kindly giv'st to them
they gather for their food;
Thy lib'ral hand Thou op'nest wide,
and they are fill'd with good.
29 But when from them Thou hid'ft thy face,
they troubled are and mourn;
Thou tak'st away their breath, they die,
and to their dust return.
30 Thou send'st thy spirit forth, and we
a new creation view;
And with fresh animals the earth
dost constantly renew.
[4 Part]
31 The glory of JEHOVAH shall
last to eternity:
JEHOVAH shall in all his works
rejoyce exceedingly.
32 If on the earth He turns his eye,
it trembles at his look:
If He the mountains does but touch,
they rise into a smoke.
33 I'll to the LORD sing chearfully
throughout my life always;
Yea while I have my being, I
will to my God sing praise.
34 With meditations upon Him
I shall be sweetly fed;
And ever in JEHOVAH I
shall be exceeding glad.
35 Sinners from earth shall be consum'd,
no more the wicked be:
O thou my soul JEHOVAH bless:
sing HALLEUJAH, ye.
O thou, my soul, Jehovah bless for thou art great

Crash upon the sparkling sand.
Parents with their sons and daughters
Stroll and chatter, hand in hand.
Several people, watching, gazing,
Spot some dolphins swimming free.
God, your world is so amazing!
Thank you for the wondrous sea.
Later on, the storm clouds gather,
Rolling in upon the shore.
Lightning crashes, people scatter
As the rains begin to pour.
There is music in the thunder!
Soon the storms will pass on by.
God, we thank you for the wonder
Of the ever-changing sky.
In our homes and on vacation,
God, your love is every place.
You have made this good creation;
You have filled your world with grace.
Sea and land reflect your glory;
Beauty lights your sky above.
God, creation sings the story
Of your ever-constant love.
