Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P19d (1766) Topics: Book of Nature and Scripture Lyrics: 1 Great God, the Heav'n'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 Pow'r, and Skill divine.
2 From Might to Day, from Day to Night,
The dawning and the dying Light
Lectures of heav'nly 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 Journeys 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 the 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 forbears my Feet to stray,
Thy Promise leads my Heart to Rest.
6 From the Discov'ries 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 Threat'nings wake my slumb'ring 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

This is my Father's world
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #70 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: God the Father God in Nature; God Nature, His Glory in; Nature Services Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one.
Amen. Tune Title: TERRA PATRIS

His golden glories thrilling me,
And voiceless longings stir my breast,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
2 And when the stars— the daylight fled—
In serried, shining ranks I see,
Filling the splendid vault o’erhead,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
3 Or if in solemn forest shades
The calm of nature steals o’er me,
And silence all my soul pervades,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.
4 Not in the sacred shrines alone,
Which chime their summons unto me,
Would I look upward to Thy throne,
But everywhere would worship Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. VENANTIUS

And silence all my soul pervades,
Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee.

Would I look upward to Thy throne,
But everywhere would worship Thee.

Thy Might Sets Fast the Mountains
Hymnal: The Hymnbook #99 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: God Nature, in; Nature; God the Father in Nature Lyrics: 1 Thy might sets fast the mountains;
Strength girds Thee evermore
To calm the raging peoples
And still the ocean's roar.
Thy majesty and greatness
Are through all lands confessed,
And joy on earth Thou sendest
Afar, from east to west.
2 To bless the earth Thou sendest
From Thy abundant store
The waters of the springtime,
Enriching it once more.
The seed by Thee provided
Is sown o'er hill and plain,
And Thou with gentle showers
Dost bless the springing grain.
3 The year with good Thou crownest,
The earth Thy mercy fills,
The wilderness is fruitful,
And joyful are the hills;
With corn the vales are covered,
The flocks in pastures graze;
All nature joins in singing
A joyful song of praise.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 65 Tune Title: WEBB
Thy Might Sets Fast the Mountains
