Which thou hast formed by thine all-wise command;

Refrain:
In songs of praise my heart bursts forth to sing:
O mighty God! O mighty God!
In songs of praise my heart bursts forth to sing:
O mighty God! O mighty God!
2 When thunders roll, and when the clouds are threatening,
When lightnings flash across the darkening sky,
When mighty storms are on my head descending,
And calming rainbows span the heavens high:
3 When summer winds upon my cheeks are breathing,
And flowers are blooming in the sunlight beams;
When over hill and vale the birds are singing,
And branching willows watch by crystal streams:
4 When all that now is real comes to an ending,
And I my faith and hope can see fulfilled;
When heavenly bells my raptured soul are calling,
To lasting rest, where joys are never stilled:

Works of Creation and Providence
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #58b (1740) Topics: Works and grace First Line: Ye holy Souls, in GOD rejoice Lyrics: 1 Ye holy Souls, in GOD rejoice,
Your Maker's Praise becomes your Voice,
Great is your Theme, your Songs be new:
Sing of his Name, his Word, his Ways,
His Works of Nature and of Grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!
2 Justice and Truth he ever loves!
And the whole Earth his Goodness proves,
His Word the heav'nly Arches spread;
How wide they shine from North to South!
And by the Spirit of his mouth
Were all the starry Armies made.
3 He gathers the wide-flowing Seas
Those wat'ry Treasures know their Place
In the vast Store-house of the Deep.
He spake, and gave all Nature Birth;
And Fires, and Seas, and Heav'n, and Earth,
His everlasting Orders keep.
4 Let Mortals tremble and adore
A GOD of such resistless Pow'r,
Nor dare indulge their feeble Rage;
Vain are your Thoughts, and weak your Hands;
But his eternal Counsel stands,
And rules the World from Age to Age. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Their Harmony of Tongues.

And, ever mindful of his Word,
He makes his Promise good.

To seal his Cov'nant sure;
Holy and Reverend is his Name,
His Ways are just and pure.
4 They that would grow divinely wise
Must with his Fear begin;
Our fairest Proof of Knowledge lies
In hating ev'ry Sin.

And tempest from his airy store.

O Egypt, through thy stubborn land;
When all thy first-born, beasts and men,
Fell dead by his avenging hand.

He slew, and their whole country gave
To Israel, whom his hand redeem'd,
No more to be proud Pharaoh's slave.
5 His power the same, the same his grace,
That saves us from the hosts of hell;
And heaven he gives us to possess,
Whence those apostate angels fell. Scripture: Psalm 135:5-12 Languages: English
