"Now let a spacious world arise"

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: On the Creation Lyrics: 1 "Now let a spacious world arise," Said the Creator Lord: At once th'obedient earth and skies Rose at his sov'reign word. 2 Dark was the deep; the waters lay Confus'd and drown'd the land: He call'd the light; the new-born day Attends on his command. 3 He bids the clouds ascend on high; The clouds ascend, and bear A wat'ry treasure to the sky, And float on softer air. 4 The liquid element below Was gather'd by his hand: The rolling seas together flow, And leave the solid land. 5 With herbs and plants a flow'ry birth, The naked globe he crown'd, E're there was rain to bless the earth, Or sun to warm the ground. 6 Then he adorn'd the upper skies; Behold the sun appears; The moon and stars in order rise, To mark out months and years. 7 Out of the deep th'almighty King. Did vital beings frame, The painted fowls of ev'ry wing, And fish of ev'ry name. 8 He gave the lion and the worm At once their wond'rous birth, And grazing beasts of various form Rose from the teeming earth. 9 Adam was fram'd of equal clay, Though sov'reign of the rest, Design'd for nobler ends than they; With God's own image blest. 10 Thus glorious in the Maker's eye The young Creation stood; He saw the building from on high, His word pronounc'd it good. 11 Lord while the frame of nature stands, Thy praise shall fill my tongue: But the new world of grace demands A more exalted song.

O LORD our GOD! how great art thou!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #VIII (1767) Topics: Songs of Praise to God the Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our GOD! how great art thou! To whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is through the World thy Fame! Oh! may thy ever glorious Name Be still, with Rev'rence due, respected. 2 In Heav'n thy wond'rous Acts are sung; The Angel's Voice and Cherub' Tongue, Are endless Songs for thee preparing: And yet thy Wisdom doth ordain, That Infants should in heav'nly Strain, Be still thy Praise with Joy declaring. 3 Through thee the weak confound the strong, And so thou quell'st the wicked Throng Who have in evil Ways persisted: Thy Pow'r shall crush thy haughty Foes, Who boldly dare thy Strength oppose, And have thy mighty Arm resisted. 4 When, in Amazement lost, I stand, And view the Wonders of thy Hand, The Heav'ns, thy holy Habitation; The radiant Moon, that rules the Night, And glitt'ring Stars of feebler Light, With all the Works of thy Creation; 5 LORD, what is Man! surpriz'd, I cry, That thou should'st thus his Wants supply, And take him under thy Protection! Or what his Offspring, prove so kind, To keep them ever in thy Mind, And guide them by thy sure Direction. Part II: 6 Him cloath'd with Pow'r thou didst create, And crown'd with Dignity and State, In high exalted Station placed; Ev'n next to thy caelestial Train; Thou gav'st him o'er all thy Works to reign. 7 For him the lowing Oxen toil, To make the Earth with Plenty smile, And give their Labours uncomplaining: The bleating Sheep their Fleeces yield: He rules the Creatures of the Field, And those in desart Wilds remaining. 8 To him thou hast in Mercy giv'n The Birds that mount the azure Heav'n, With out-stretch'd Wings the Air dividing: And all the Fish that thro' the Sea, Delight to cut their liquid Way, With glossy Fins for ever gliding. 9 O LORD, our LORD, how great art thou! Thou whom all earthly Creatures bow; To thy unbounded Sway subjected: How great is thro' the World thy Fame! Oh may thy ever glorious Name, Be still with Rev'rence due respected! Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, our God! how great art thou]

O worship the King all glorious above

Grant (1779-1838) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #24 (1987) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: The Creation Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above, and 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 thunder-clouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your power has founded of old, established it fast by a changeless decree, and round it has cast like a garment the sea. 4 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. 5 We children of dust are feeble and frail — in you we will trust, for you never fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end! our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 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!

The works of the Lord are created in wisdom

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #26b (1987) Meter: 12.11.12.11 Topics: The Creation 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 shows 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 his creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honour, 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 his praise? At work in all places, he cares for all peoples — how great is the Lord to the end of all days! Languages: English Tune Title: STREETS OF LAREDO
