Hymns for Christian Devotion: Especially Adapted to the Universalist Denomination
Chapin, E. H. (Edwin Hubbell)
Hymns, English; Universalist churches -- Hymns
3 Holy and just in all its ways
Is Providence divine;
In all its works, immortal rays
Of power and mercy shine.
4 The praise of God--delightful theme!--
Shall fill my heart and tongue;
Let all creation bless his name,
In one eternal song.
133. S. M. Watts.
A Holy God. Ps. 99.
1 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at his feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is his seat.
2 When Israel was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,
When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,
He gave his people rest.
3 Oft he forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft he made his vengeance known,
When they abused his grace.
4 Exalt the Lord our God,
Whose grace is still the same;
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.
134. C. M. Tate & Brady.
God's Condescension.
1 O Thou, to whom all creatures bow
Within this earthly frame,
Through all the world how great art thou!
How glorious is thy name!
2 When heaven, thy glorious work on high,
Employs my wondering sight,--
The moon, that nightly rules the sky,
With stars of feebler light,--
3 Lord, what is man, that he is blessed
With thy peculiar care!
Why on his offspring is conferred
Of love so large a share?
4 O Thou, to whom all creatures bow
Within this earthly frame,
Through all the world how great art thou!
How glorious is thy name!
135. L. M. Wm. Taylor.
God the Universal Benefactor.
1 God of the universe! whose hand
Hath sown with suns the fields of space,
Round which, obeying thy command,
Unnumbered worlds fulfil their race:
2 How vast the region, where thy will
Existence, form, and order gives!
Pleased the wide cup with joy to fill,
For all that grows, and feels, and lives.
3 Lord! while we thank thee, let us learn
Beneficence to all below;
Those praise thee best, whose bosoms burn
Thy gifts on others to bestow.
136. L. M. C. Wesley.
The Holiness of God.
1 Holy as thou, O Lord, is none!
Thy holiness is all thine own;
A drop of that unbounded sea
Is ours, a drop derived from thee.
2 And when thy purity we share,
Only thy glory we declare;
And humbled into nothing own,
Holy and pure is God alone.
3 Sole self-existent God and Lord,
By all the heavenly hosts adored!
Let all on earth bow down to thee,
And own thy peerless majesty.
137. 6s. M. Drummond.
Unity of God.
1 The God who reigns alone
O'er earth, and sea, and sky,
Let man with praises own,
And sound his honors high.
2 Him all in heaven above,
Him all on earth below,
The exhaustless Source of love,
The great Creator know.
