1 My Maker and my King! To thee my all I owe: Thy sovereign bounty is the spring, From whence my blessings flow. 2 Thou ever good and kind! A thousand reasons move, A thousand obligations bind My heart to grateful love. 3 The creature of thy hand, On thee alone I live: My God! thy benefits demand More praise than tongue can give. 4 O let thy grace inspire My soul with strength divine; Let all my powers to thee aspire, And all my days be thine. 125. L. M. Watts. The Good Providence of God. Ps. 36. 1 High in the heavens, eternal God! Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens thy designs. 2 Forever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 Thy providence is kind and large; Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. 4 Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word. 126. L. M. Kippis. God Incomprehensible. 1 Great God! in vain man's narrow view Attempts to look thy nature through; Our laboring powers with reverence own Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind. 3 And yet thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal minds to know; While wisdom, goodness, power divine, Through all thy works and conduct shine. 4 O, may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace: Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will. 127. C. M. Tate & Brady. God Unchangeable. 1 Through endless years thou art the same, O thou eternal God; Each future age shall know thy name, And tell thy works abroad. 2 The strong foundations of the earth Of old by thee were laid; By thee the beauteous arch of heaven With matchless skill was made. 3 Soon may this goodly frame of things Created by thy hand, Be, like a vesture, laid aside, And changed at thy command. 4 But thy perfections, all divine, Eternal as thy days, Through everlasting ages shine, With undiminished rays. 128. C. M. Cowper. Purposes of God developed by his Providence. 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.
