Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #254b (1787) Topics: Grace and providence; Providence and creation; Grace and providence; Providence and creation First Line: Great is the Lord, exalted high Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord, exalted high
Above all powers and every throne;
What e'er he please in earth or sea,
Or heaven, or hell, his hand hath done.
2 At his command the vapours rise,
The lightnings flash, the thunders roar;
He pours the rain, he brings the wind
And tempest from his airy store.
3 'Twas he those dreadful tokens sent,
O Egypt, through thy stubborn land;
When all thy first-born, beasts and men,
Fell dead by his avenging hand.
4 What mighty nations, mighty kings,
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

And faithful is his word.]

How boundless was his love!

And still his grace prevails.

Kind guardian of my days,
Thy mercies let my heart record
In songs of grateful praise.
2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame
Was thy indulgent care,
Long ere I could pronounce thy name,
Or breathe the infant prayer.
3 [Around my path what dangers rose!
What snares spread all my road!
No power could guard me from my foes,
But my preserver, God.
4 How many blessings round me shone,
Where'er I turn'd my eye!
How many past almost unknown,
Or unregarded, by!]
5 Each rolling year new favors brought
From thy exhaustless store:
But ah! in vain my laboring thought
Would count thy mercies o'er.
6 While sweet reflection thro' my days
Thy bounteous hand would trace:
Still dearer blessings claim thy praise,
The blessings of thy grace.
7 Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord,
For favors more divine:
That I have known thy sacred word,
Where all thy glories shine.
8 Lord, when this mortal frame decays,
And every weakness dies,
Complete the wonders of thy grace,
And raise me to the skies.
9 Then shall my joyful powers unite
In more exalted lays,
And Join the happy sons of light
In everlasting praise. Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English

His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
