The Book of Nature and Scripture
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #37b (1786) Topics: Works and grace; Works and grace First Line: Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame Lyrics: 1 Great God, the heaven's well order'd frame
Declares the glories of thy name:
There thy rich works of wonder shine;
A thousand starry beauties there,
A thousand radiant marks appear
Of boundless power, and skill divine.
2 From night to day, from day to night,
The dawning and the dying light,
Lectures of heavenly wisdom read:
With silent eloquence they raise
Our thoughts to our Creator's praise,
And neither sound nor language need.
3 Yet their divine instructions run
Far as the journies of the sun,
And every nation knows their voice:
The sun, like some young bridegroom drest,
Breaks from the chambers of the east,
Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his beams abroad,
He smiles, and speaks his maker God:
All nature joins to shew thy praise:
Thus God in every creature shines;
Fair is the book of nature's lines,
But fairer is thy book of grace.
Pause.
5 I love the volumes of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distrest!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
6 From the discoveries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that hath the furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
7 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes,
And warn me where my danger lies;
But 'tis thy blessed gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty conscience clean,
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free, but large reward.
8 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God, forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain:
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace
And book of nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

And children's children shall proclaim
The glorious honor of His Name,

And Men in ev'ry Age have sought
His Wonders with Delight.

How wise th' Eternal Mind!
His Counsels never change the Scheme
That his first Thoughts design'd.
4 When he redeem'd his chosen Sons,
He fix'd his Cov'nant sure;
The Orders that his Lips pronounce
To endless Years endure.

Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112b (1766) Topics: Good Works Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord,
Loves his Commands, and trusts his Word;
Honour and Peace his Days attend,
And Blessings to his Seed descend.
2 Compassion dwells upon his Mind,
To Works of Mercy still inclin'd;
He lends the Poor some present Aid,
Or gives them, not to be repaid.
3 When times grow dark, and Tidings spread
That fill his Neighbours round with Dread,
His Heart is arm'd against the Fear,
For GOD with all his Pow'r is there.
4 His Soul well fix'd upon the Lord,
Draws heav'nly Courage from his Word;
Amidst the Darkness Light shall rise,
To chear his Heart and bless his Eyes.
5 He hath dispers'd his Alms abroad;
His Works are still before his God;
His Name on Earth shall long remain,
While envious Sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Good works profit men, not God; Works good profit men, not God Lyrics:
Shall atheists dare insult the cross
Of our Redeemer, God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,
Or trample on his blood?
What if he choose mysterious ways
To cleanse us from our faults?
May not the works of sovereign grace
Transcend our feeble thoughts?
What if his gospel bids us fight
With flesh, and self, and sin,
The prize is most divinely bright
That we are called to win.
What if the foolish and the poor
His glorious grace partake,
This but confirms his truth the more,
For so the prophets spake.
Do some that own his sacred name
Indulge their souls in sin?
Jesus should never bear the blame,
His laws are pure and clean.
Then let our faith grow firm and strong,
Our lips profess his word;
Nor blush nor fear to walk among
The men that love the Lord.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English
Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Shall be constrained to bow.
3 Yea, all the earth shall worship Thee,
And unto Thee shall sing;
To Thy great Name shall songs of joy
With loud hosannas ring.
4 O come, behold the works of God,
His mighty doings see;
In dealing with the sons of men
Most wonderful is He.
5 He led in safety through the flood
the people of His choice,
He turned the sea to solid ground;
In Him let us rejoice.
6 He rules forever by His might
His eyes the nations try;
Let not the proud rebellious ones
Exalt themselves on high.

A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.

Who spreads His clouds along the sky;

And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
The beasts with food His hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.

The sprightly man, or warlike horse?
The piercing wit, the active limb?
All are too mean delights for Him.

He views His children with delight;
He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
And looks and loves His image there. Languages: English Tune Title: ZEUNER'S CHANT

To praise th' eternal God;
Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.
2 Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays;
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above,
And fix'd their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And ever speak his name.
4 Ye vapours, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers or snow,
Ye thunders murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
5 Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.
6 By all his works above
His honours be exprest;
But saints that taste his saving love
Should sing his praises best.

7 Let earth and ocean know
They owe their maker praise;
Praise him, ye watery worlds below,
And monsters of the seas.

Let his high praise resound,
From humble shrubs and cedars high,
And vales and fields around.
9 Ye lions of the wood,
And tamer beasts that graze,
Ye live upon his daily food,
And he expects your praise.
10 Ye birds of lofty wing,
On high his praises bear;
Or sit on flowery boughs and sing
Your Maker's glory there.
11 Ye reptile myriads join
T' exalt his glorious name,
And flies in beauteous forms that shine,
His wondrous skill proclaim.
12 By all the earth-born race
His honours be exprest;
But saints that know his heavenly grace
Should learn to praise him best.
Pause.
13 Monarchs of wide command,
Praise ye th' eternal King;
Judges, adore that sovereign hand,
Whence all your honours spring.
14 Let vigorous youth engage
To sound his praises high;
While growing babes and withering age,
Their feebler voices try.
15 United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise;
God is the Lord; his name alone
Deserves our endless praise.
16 Let nature join with art,
And all pronounce him blest,
But saints, that dwell so near his heart
Should sing his praises best.

His mercy melts the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.
3 He form'd the stars, those heav'nly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names,

The beasts with food his hands supply,
And feeds the ravens when they cry.

The sprightly wit, the active limb
All are too mean delights for him.

2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your Maker's praise,
With stars of twinkling light
His power declare,
Ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly
In empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By his supreme command.
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came,
To praise the Lord.

Exalt his name.

The Lord the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heavenly wonders sing;
Nor let the dream
Of power and state
Make you forget
His power supreme.

His name be sung

Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.
2 He bids us make his glories know,
His works of pow'r and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
Through ev'ry rising race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.
4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget his works,
But practise his commands.
