Forms vain without religion
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLV (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Public Religion First Line: Almighty Maker, God! Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God!
How wond'rous is thy name!
Thy glories how diffus'd abroad
Thro' the creation's frame.
2 Nature in every dress
Her humble homage pays,
And finds a thousand ways t' express
Thine undissembled praise.
3 My soul would rise and sing
To her creator too,
Fain would my tongue adore my king,
And pay the worship due.
4 [But pride, that busy sin,
Spoils all that I perform,
Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in,
And swells a haughty worm.]
5 Create my soul anew,
Else all my worship's vain;
This wretched heart will ne'er be true,
Until tis form'd again.
6 Let joy and worship spend
The remnant of my days,
And to my God my soul, ascend
In sweet perfumes of praise. Languages: English
Forms vain without religion
A song of praise to the redeemer
Author: Dr. Turner Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLVII (1792) Topics: Public Religion First Line: Holy wonder, heavenly grace Lyrics: 1 Holy wonder, heavenly grace,
Come, inspire our humble lays,
While the Savior's love we sing,
Whence our hopes and comforts spring.
2 Man, involv'd in guilt and woe,
Touch'd his tender bosom so,
That, when justice death demands,
Forth the great deliv'rer stands;
3 Cries to God, "thy mercy shew,
"Lo! I come thy will to do;
"I the sacrifice will be,
"Death shall plunge his dart in me."
4 Tho' the form of God he bore,
Great in glory, great in power,
See him in our flesh array'd,
Lower than his angels made.
5 [He that heaven itself possess'd,
Now and infant at the breast!
Angels from the world above,
See and sing th' amazing love!
6 Thro' the shining hours of day,
Toil and danger mark his way;
Lonely mounts, and chilling air,
Witness oft his midnight prayer.]
7 Now the heavenly lover dies!
Darkness veils the mid-day skies!
Angels round the bloody tree,
Throng and gaze in ecstacy!
8 [Power unseen earth's bosom heaves,
Rocks and tombs, asunder cleave;
While the temple's rending veil
Tells the pries the awful tale.]
9 But, the third day's dawning come,
Lo! the Savior leaves the tomb!
Reascends his native sky,
Where he lives no more to die.
10 On his cross he builds his throne,
Whence he makes his glories known,
Sends his spirit down to give
Dying sinners grace to live.

On God with sacred courage wait;

And wing th' unerring dart,
With salutary pangs,
To each rebellious heart:
Then dying souls for life shall sue,
Numerous as drops of morning dew.

Sealing their peace with God,

The ignorant and rude.

Of every rank and tongue;
