Psalms 19:1

• [Psa 19:1] All Nature’s Works His Praise Declare

  All nature’s works His praise declare, to Whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, in every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad with strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, the thunder and the shower. To God the tribes of ocean cry, and birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let us the throne surround, with them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound assist our feeble praise. Great God, to Thee we consecrate our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait to speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats may earth born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes may lift our souls on high!

All things praise Thee—night to night Sings in silent hymns of light; All things praise Thee—day to day Chants Thy power in burning ray; Time and space are praising Thee, All things praise Thee—Lord, may we! All things praise Thee—high and low, Rain and dew and sparkling snow, Crimson sunset, fleecy cloud, Rippling stream, and tempest loud; Summer, winter, all to Thee Glory render—Lord, may we! All things praise Thee—Heav’n’s high shrine Rings with melody divine; Lowly bending at Thy feet, Seraph and archangel meet; This their highest bliss, to be Ever praising—Lord, may we! All things praise Thee—gracious Lord, Great Creator, powerful Word, Omnipresent Spirit, now At Thy feet we humbly bow; Lift our hearts in praise to Thee; All things praise Thee—Lord, may we!

  Angels holy, high and lowly, Sing the praises of the Lord! Earth and sky, all living nature, Man the stamp of thy Creator, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord! Sun and moon bright, night and moonlight, Starry temples azure-floored, Cloud and rain, and wild winds’ madness, Sons of God that shout for gladness, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Rolling river, praise Him ever, From the mountain’s deep vein poured; Silver fountain, clearly gushing, Troubled torrent, madly rushing, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord! Praise Him ever, bounteous Giver! Praise Him, Father, Friend and Lord! Each glad soul its free course winging, Each blithe voice its free song singing, Praise the great and mighty Lord!

  Behold, the lofty sky Declares its Maker God. And all His starry works on high Proclaim His power abroad. The darkness and the light Still keep their course the same; While night to day, and day to night, Divinely teach His Name. In every different land, Their general voice is known; They show the wonders of His Hand, And orders of His throne. Ye Christian hearts, rejoice, [originally, Ye British lands, rejoice] Here He reveals His Word; We are not left to nature’s voice To bid us know the Lord. His statutes and commands Are set before our eyes; He puts His Gospel in our hands, Where our salvation lies. His laws are just and pure, His truth without deceit, His promises for ever sure And His rewards are great. Not honey to the taste Affords so much delight, Nor gold that has the furnace passed So much allures the sight. While of Thy works I sing, Thy glory to proclaim, Accept the praise, my God, my King In my Redeemer’s Name.

  The duteous day now closeth, Each flower and tree reposeth, Shade creeps o’er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling, Give thanks to Him, the Giver good. Now all the heav’nly splendor Breaks forth in starlight tender From myriad worlds unknown; And man, the marvel seeing, Forgets his selfish being, For joy of beauty not his own. His care he drowneth yonder, Lost in the abyss of wonder; To Heav’n his soul doth steal: This life he disesteemeth, The day it is that dreameth, That doth from truth his vision seal. Awhile his mortal blindness May miss God’s lovingkindness, And grope in faithless strife: But when life’s day is over Shall death’s fair night discover The fields of everlasting life.

  Father, how wide Thy glories shine! How high Thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousand through the skies. Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill, And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still. But when we view Thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Our souls are filled with awe divine To see what God performs. Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe; We love and we adore; The first archangel never saw So much of God before. Part of Thy Name divinely stands On all Thy creatures writ; They show the labor of Thy hands, Or impress of Thy feet. When sinners break the Father’s laws, The dying Son atones; O the dear mysteries of His cross, The triumph of his groans. Here the whole Deity is known, Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice, or the grace. Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel’s Name, And try their choicest strains. O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

• [Psa 19:1] For The Deep Love That Kept Us

  For the deep love that kept us through the night, And gave our senses to sleep’s gentle sway; For this new wonder of morning’s dawning light, Flushing the east with prophecies of day, We thank Thee, O our God. For the fresh life that through our being flows, With its full tide to enrich and to bless; For calm, sweet thoughts, upspringing from repose, To bear to Thee our song of thankfulness, We praise Thee, O our God. Day utters speech to day, and night to night Tells of Thy glory and power. So would we Thy children, duly, with morning’s golden light, Or still at eve, upon the bended knee, Adore Thee, O our God. Thou knowest our needs, Thy fullness will supply; Our blindness, Thy hand will still lead us on; Till we shall see the Dayspring from on high, Our prayer, one only, “Let Thy will be done,” We breathe to Thee, O God.

  God is the Name my soul adores, The almighty Three, the eternal One; Nature and grace, with all their powers, Confess the Infinite Unknown. Thy voice produced the sea and spheres, Bade the waves roar, the planets shine; But nothing like Thyself appears Through all these spacious works of Thine. Still restless nature dies and grows; From change to change the creatures run: Thy being no succession knows, And all Thy vast designs are one. A glance of Thine runs through the globe, Rules the bright worlds, and moves their frame; Of light Thou form’st Thy dazzling robe; Thy ministers are living flame. How shall polluted mortals dare To sing Thy glory or Thy grace? Beneath Thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of Thy face. Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach the consuming flame? None but Thy wisdom knows Thy might None but Thy Word can speak Thy Name.

  The God of nature and of grace In all His works appears; His goodness through the earth we trace, His grandeur in the spheres. Behold this fair and fertile globe, By Him in wisdom planned: ’Twas He Who girded, like a robe, The ocean round the land. Lift to the firmament your eye; Thither His path pursue; His glory, boundless in the sky, O’erwhelms the wondering view. He bows the heavens—the mountains stand A highway for their God; He walks amidst the desert land; ’Tis Eden where He trod. The forests in His strength rejoice; Hark! on the evening breeze, As once of old, the Lord God’s voice Is heard among the trees. In every stream His bounty flows, Diffusing joy and wealth; In every breeze His Spirit blows, The breath of life and health. His blessings fall in plenteous showers Upon the lap of earth, That teems with foliage, fruits and flowers, And rings with infant mirth. If God hath made this world so fair, Where sin and death abound, How beautiful, beyond compare, Will Paradise be found!

From night to day, from day to night, The dawning and the dying light Lectures of heav’nly wisdom read; With silent eloquence they raise Our thoughts to our Creator’s praise, And neither sound nor language need. Yet their divine instructions run Far as the journeys of the sun, And every nation knows their voice: The sun, like some young bridegroom dressed Breaks from the chambers of the east, Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.

The ocean’s vast abysses in one grand psalm record The deep mysterious counsels and mercies of the Lord; The icy waves of winter are thundering on the strand, E’en grief’s chill stream is guided by God’s all-gracious hand.

  O God the deep immutable, the changeless, wise and still, You’re the absolute, eternal One; You wield the sovereign will. Deep Heav’n itself and even time must bend beneath your sway. With a whispered thought you banish night in a flash of blinding day. The seas are boundaried by your word; great mountains heed your call. Majestic swirls of galaxies adorn your royal hall. The centuries are lumps of clay shaped by your strength and skill. You mold the long millennia to the dictates of your will. The boundless, black-robed skies proclaim your vast, astonishing might: Their flaming jewels rejoice for you in silent shouts of light. With sure and sovereign strokes your hands finger the cosmic strings, And play celestial symphonies as all creation sings. And silent now, the angels stare; stunned seraphs blush, amazed; Great Michael sheaths the sword that at the Gate of Eden blazed. Mighty Gabriel sets his trump aside, and listens to his Lord, As Love incomprehensible enfleshes the Living Word. Now space and time have cracked before the size of this event: The Godhead shudders as the glorious Son to Hell is sent. Though Very God of Very God, He counts it all but loss, And comes and suffers as a man, from the manger to the Cross.

Before His bar no pleading excuses any flaw; But wickedness exceeding ignites the flames of Law. ’Mid Sinai’s sounding thunder the verdict has been read: All men, in awestruck wonder, fall down before Him, dead. Such wrath, beyond all telling! Can it be turned aside? Is there a strong, safe dwelling where Hell can be denied? Can holy, perfect righteousness forgive and reconcile? Can God, though angered, still bless the wicked and the vile? Yes, yes, my soul has found out! There is a mercy sure! A sovereign grace to sound out—a love both true and pure!

Like trees they stand whom God has given Our Eden’s happy birth. Faith is their fixed, unswerving root, Hope their unfading flower, Fair deeds of charity their fruit, The glory of their bower. The dew of Heav’n is like Thy grace, It steals in silence down; But where it lights, the favored place By richest fruits is known. One Name, above all glorious names, With its ten thousand tongues The everlasting sea proclaims, Echoing angelic songs. The raging fire, the roaring wind, Thy boundless power display, But in the gentler breeze we find The Spirit’s viewless way. Two worlds are ours: ’tis only sin Forbids us to descry The mystic heaven and earth within, Plain as the sea and sky.

  Ere God had built the mountains, Or raised the fruitful hills; Before He filled the fountains That feed the running rills; In me from everlasting, The wonderful I Am, Found pleasures never wasting, And Wisdom is my name. When, like a tent to dwell in, He spread the skies abroad, And swathed about the swelling Of Ocean’s mighty flood; He wrought by weight and measure, And I was with Him then: Myself the Father’s pleasure, And mine, the sons of men. Thus Wisdom’s words discover Thy glory and Thy grace, Thou everlasting Lover Of our unworthy race! Thy gracious eye surveyed us Ere stars were seen above; In wisdom Thou hast made us, And died for us in love.
