Eternal God, how frail is man!
Eternal God! our humble souls
Eternal pow'r, almighty God,
Eternal pow'r! whose high abode
Eternal sire, enthron'd on high!
Eternal source of ev'ry joy!
Eternal source of life and light,
Eternal source of life and thought!
Eternal wisdom! thee we praise,
Exalt the Lord our God,
Fairest of all the lights above,
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss,
Faith is the brightest evidence
Far from the world, O Lord! I flee,
Father of mercies! in thy word
Firm was my health, my day was bright,
Give thanks to God, adore his name,
Give thanks to God; he reigns above:
Give thanks to God most high,
Give thanks to God, the sov'reign Lord,
Give to the Lord, ye potentates,
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,
Give to our God immortal praise. ·
Glory be to God on high; Hallelujah!
God, from his cloudy cisterns, pours
God in his earthly temples lays
God is a name my soul adores,
God is a spirit just and wise,
God is my shepherd, who will see
God is our sun and shield,
God is the confidence and stay
God is the refuge of his saints
God moves in a mysterious way
God of eternity! from thee
God of my life! through all its days,
God, my supporter and my hope,
Good is the Lord, the heavenly king
Great father of eternity!
Great father of mankind!
Great former of this various frame !
Great framer of unnumber'd worlds
Great God! attend while Sion sings,
Great God! at whose all-pow'rful call,
Great God! how infinite art thou!
Great God! how well thy truths agree!
Great God! if nature, weak and frail,
Great God! indulge my humble claim,
Great God! I own thy sentence just,
Great God! in vain man's narrow view
Great God! my early views to thee
Great God! my joyful thanks to thee
Great God of consolation, see
Great God! the heav'n's well-order'd frame,
Great God! thine attributes divine,
Great God! this sacred day of thine,
Great God! to thee my ev'ning song,
Great God! to thee my grateful tongue
Great God thy peerless excellence
Great God! we sing that mighty hand,
Great God! whose universal sway
Great is the Lord! his works of might
Great is the Lord! our souls adore ;
Great Lord of angels! we adore
Great Lord of earth, and seas, and skies!
Great ruler of all nature's frame!
Great ruler of the earth and skies!
Great source of all that we enjoy
Great source of life! our souls confess.
Greatest of beings, source of life,
High in the heav'ns, eternal God!
Had not the Lord, may Britain say,
Hail, great Creator, wise and good!
Hail, source of pleasures ever new!
Happy is he that fears the Lord,
Happy is he whose early years
Happy the man, and he alone,
Happy the meek, whose gentle breast,
Happy the men, whom strength divine
Happy the soul, whose wishes climb
Hard and unfeeling is his heart,
Hark! from the tombs, an awful sound!
Hark! the glad sound! the Saviour comes;
Hast thou not heard, hast thou not known,
He reigns; the Lord Jehovah reigns!
Hear what the voice from heav'n proclaims
Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree;
Heav'nly father! God of love!
High in the heav'ns above the ground,
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Hosannah, with a cheerful sound,
House of our God, with cheerful anthems ring,
How blest the man, how more than blest,
How gentle God's commands !
How happy is he born and taught,
How long, O Lord! shall I complain,
How many are thy thoughts of love!
How pleasant, how divinely fair,
How pleasing is the scene, how sweet,
How rich thy favours, God of grace!
How rich thy gifts, almighty king!
How shall the young secure their hearts,
How should the sons of Adam's race,
How still and peaceful is the grave !
How swift the torrent rolls,
How vain a thought is bliss below!
How vain are all things here below!
How vain is grandeur's purple pride!
How vast is the tribute I owe
I am the first, and 1 the last;
I love the Lord, he heard my cries,
I'll praise my maker with my breath;
If friendless in the vale of tears I stray,
