The Condescension of God. 1 Kings viii. 27.
TERNAL Pow'r, almighty God,
Who can approach thy throne?
Accessless light is thy abode,
To angel-eyes unknown.
2 Before the radiance of thine eye
The heav'ns no longer shine,
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine.
3 Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below,
To this vile world thy notice bend,
These seats of sin and wo?
4 But oh! to show thy smiling face,
To bring thy glories near-
Amazing and transporting grace
To dwell with mortals here!
5 How strange! how awful is thy love!
With trembling we adore!
Not all the exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore.
6 While golden harps, and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays,
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and mean thy praise.
Kind Lord, before thy face

How oft on the ocean of life
How pleasing is the scene, how
Let us with a joyful mind
Let earth and heav'n agree
How chang'd the face of nature
I am,
I am the first, and I the last

If friendless in the vale of tears
If solid happiness we prize
I'll praise my Maker while I've

Lord, we unite our hearts
I'll bless Jehovah's glorious name
Immortal fountain of my life
Lord, not to earth's contracted
Immortal God, on thee we call
Imposture shrinks from light
Infinite excellence is thine
In glad amazement, Lord, I stand
In social temples here we meet
In songs of highest praise
Indulgeat God, accept this youth
Inquire, ye pilgrims, for the way
In the soft season of thy youth
In vain the world's alluring smile
In vain the erring world inquires
In various forms, to saints of old
In Zion let the trumpet blow
I sing the gospel day
May all our powers of mind
May sacred heat inspire my tongue 243
254 May we thine armour, Lord, put on 348
I want a principle within

Jehovah reigns, let every nation
Jehovah lives, and be his name

Jesus his empire shall extend
Jesus, thou son of love divine
Mere human powers shall fast

Joy to the world, the Lord is come

My God, thy boundless love I praise 314
My God, permit me not to be
My God, 'tis to thy mercy seat
My God, all nature owns thy sway 550
Koep silence, all created things
My life's a shade, my days
Out of the depths of sad distress
O Zion, tune thy voice
Praise the Lord who reigns above 165
Nature with all her pow'rs shall
No peace my starving soul can find 247
Not to our names, thou only just
Not from relentless fate's dark
Not diff'rent food nor diff'rent
Not by the terrors of a slave
Now to the Lord a noble song
Now let our voices join
Now shall our souls with pleasure
Now to the God to whom all might 381
Now to the Lord who built the 251

O come all ye sons of Adam and
O'er mountain tops the mount of
O Father of mercy
O for a shout of sacred joy
O for a thousand tongues to sing
Of mortal life how short the date
O God, my sun, thy blissful rays
O God, my grateful soul aspires
O God of grace, before thy throne
O God my Father, I adore
O happy church, celestial bride
O happy is the man who hears
Oh! source of uncreated light
O how shall words with equal
O how delightful is the road
O Lord, our fathers oft have told
O Lord, our heavenly King
O Lord, my best desires fulfil
Old hoary winter now has ceas'd
O love, thou bottomless abyss
O, my distrustful heart
One general song of praise arise
On Zion his most holy mount
O praise ye the Lord, prepare a

Searcher of hearts, before thy face 417
See Israel's gentle shepherd stand
See from the ark the mystic dove
See the bright monarch of the day 503
Send down thy blessing, gracious 336
Shall we go on to sin
Shine forth, Eternal Source of light 420
Should famine o'er the mourning

So let our lips and lives express
Songs of immortal praise belong
