156. L. M. WATTS. The eternal and sovereign God. 1. JEHOVAH reigns; he dwells in light, 2. But ere this spacious world was made, His throne eternal ages stood, Himself the ever-living God. 3. Like floods the angry nations rise, 4. For ever shall his throne endure: Becomes the dwellings of his grace. 157. L. M. TATE AND BRADY. 1. WITH glory clad, with strength array'd, The Lord, who o'er all nature reigns, The world's foundations strongly laid, And the vast fabric still sustains. 2. How surely stablisht is thy throne, 3. The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice, 4. Thy promise, Lord, is ever sure; LONG as I live I'll bless thy name, 2. Great is the Lord, his power unknown, 3. Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue; The men that hear my sacred song 4. Fathers to sons shall teach thy name, 5. Thy glorious deeds of ancient date Shall through the world be known; Thine arm of power, thy heavenly state, With public splendour shown. 6. The world is govern'd by thy hands, My God, my King, thy various praise 2. The wings of every hour shall bear 3. Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim: 4. Thy works with sovereign glory shine, Let Britain round her shores proclaim 5. Let distant times and nations raise 6. But who can speak thy wondrous deeds? 160. C. M. ENFIELD'S COLLECTION. The greatness of God. ༤. HEAVEN, earth, and all created things, Attend your Maker's word; My soul stands trembling while she sings The honours of her Lord. 2. Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown Hang on his firm decree; He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave to be. 3. Ten thousand ages ere the skies All future years, and worlds to come, 4. His mighty voice bade ancient night 5. His wisdom with superior sway 161. s. M. WATTS. God's sovereignty and goodness. 1. O LORD, our heavenly King, Thy glories round the earth are spread, 2. When to thy works on high I raise my wondering eyes, 3. When I survey the stars, And all their shining forms,Lord, what is man, that mortal thing, Akin to dust and worms? 4. Lord, what is mortal man, That thou shouldst love him so? Next to thine angels is he placed, And lord of all below. |
