D. CALDWELL, 1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. HYMN I. C. M. 11. CREATION. HYMN III. C. M. REAT first of beings! mighty Lord hEAT God! with wonder and with Produc'd by thy creating word, GREAT praise On all thy works 1 look; The world from nothing came. But still thy wisdom, power, and grace, 2 Thy voice sent forth the high com Shine brightest in thy book. 2 The stars, that in their courses roll, 3 The fields provide me food, and show The goodness of the Lord; But fruits of life and glory grow 4 Here are my choicest treasures lid; 5 Lord, make me understand thy law, Show what my faults have been, And from thy Gospel let me draw mand, 'Twas instantly obey'd And through thy goodness all things stand, Which by thy pow'r were made. 3 Lord! for thy glory-shine the whole, They all reflect thy light: For this-in course the planets roll 4 For this-the sun disperses heat 5 For this-the earth its produce yields. For this the waters flow; And blooming plants adorn the fields, 6 Here would I learn how Christ has died 6 Inspir'd with praise, our minds pursue To save my soul from hell; Not all the books on earth beside, Such heavenly wonders tell. 7 Then let me love my Bible more, And take a fresh delight, By day to read these wonders o'er, And meditate by night. F HYMN II. C. M. ATHER of mercies! in thy word For ever be thy name ador'd, For these celestial lines. 2 Here may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find; Riches above what earth can grant, 3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, 4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice 5 O may these heavenly pages be 6 Divine instructor, gracious Lord, This wise and noble end That all we think, and all we do, Shall to thine honour tend. HYMN IV. C. M. ET heaven arise, let earth appear, 2 But formless was the earth, and void, 3 Then spake the Lord Omnipotent, 4 The glorious firmament he spread, 5 He bade the seas together flow; And herbs, and plants, and fruitful trees, Sprung forth at his command. 6 Above, he form'd the stars; and plac'd The moon to rule the night. 8 Then, chief o'er all his works below, Man, honour'd man, was made, His soul with God's pure image stamp'd, With innocence array'd. 9 Completed now the mighty work, God his creation view'd': And, pleas'd with all that he had made, Pronounc'd it very good." HYMN V. II. 1. Psalm cxlviir Praise from Living Creatures. Bet each enraptur'd thought obey. To swell th' inspiring theme. 2 Ye angels, catch the thrilling sound, And touch the sweetest string. 3 Whate'er this living world contains, That wings the air, or treads the plains, United praise bestow; Ye tenants of the ocean wide, 4 Let man, by nobler passion sway'd, the sound, The gen'ral burst of joy. HYMN VI. II. 1. Psalm cxlviii. Praise from the Elements and Worlds. YE fields of light, celestial plains; Where pure, serene effulgence reigns, Ye scenes divinely fair. Your Maker's wondrous pow'r proclaim, Tell how he form'd your shining frame, And breath'd the fluid air. 2 Join, all ye stars, the vocal choir; Thou dazzling orb of liquid fire The mighty chorus aid; And, soon as ev'ning veils the plain, Thou moon, prolong the hallow'd strain, And praise him in the shade. 3 Thou heav'n of heav'ns, his vast abode, Proclaim the glories of thy God; Ye worlds, declare his might; He spake the word, and ye were made; Darkness and dismal chaos fled, And nature sprung to light. 4 Let every element rejoice; Ye thunders, burst with awful voice To him who bids you roll; His praise in softer notes declare, Each whisp'ring breeze of yielding air, And the it to the soul. HYMN VII. L. MJ Psalm xix. THE spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame Their great Original proclaim. 2 Th unwearied sun, from day to day, The work of an Almighty hand. 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, ETERN III. PROVIDence. Thy hand supports and guides the whole: 5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days, Demand successive songs of praise; Psalm xxiii. THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe 1 faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant |
