No Number Tallies Nature Up
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #79 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The World of Nature Lyrics: 1 No number tallies nature up,
no tribe its house can fill;
it is the shining fount of life
and pours the deluge still.
And gathers by its fragile powers
along the centuries
from race on race the rarest flowers,
its wreath shall nothing miss.
2 It writes the past in characters
of rock and fire and scroll,
the building in the coral sea,
the planting of the coal.
And thefts from satellites and rings
and broken stars it drew,
and out of spent and aged things
it formed the world anew.
3 Must time and tide forever run,
nor winds sleep in the west?
Will never wheels which whirl the sun
and satellites have rest?
Yet whirl the glowing wheels once more,
and mix the bowl again;
seethe, Fate, the ancient elements,
heat, cold, and peace, and pain.
4 Blend war and trade and creeds
and song, let ripen race on race,
the sunburnt world that we shall breed
of all the countless days.
No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
the oldest force is new,
and fresh the rose on yonder thorn
gives back the heavens in dew. Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION
No Number Tallies Nature Up
Nature With Open Volume Stands
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) alt. Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #94 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God the Father Power of God in Nature Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands,
To spread its Maker’s praise abroad;
And every labor of His hands
Shows something worthy of our God.
2 But in the grace that rescued us
His brightest form of glory shines;
‘Tis fairest drawn upon the cross
In precious blood and crimson lines.
3 Here His whole name appears complete.
Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
Which of the letters best is writ,
The pow’r, the wisdom, or the love.
4 We would forever speak His name
In sounds to mortal ears unknown,
With angels join to praise the Lamb,
And worship at His Father’s throne. Tune Title: ANGELUS

Nature with Open Volume Stands
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #222 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nature Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad;
and every labor of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that saved the world
his brightest form of glory shines;
see on the cross the tale unfold,
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete,
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where Christ my Savior loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would forever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.

The Book of Nature and Scripture
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #37 (1740) Topics: Book of Nature and Scripture First Line: Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame Lyrics: 1 Great God, the Heav'n's well order'd Frame
Declares the Glories of thy Name:
There thy rich Works of Wonder shine.
A thousand starry Beauties there,
A thousand radiant Marks appear
Of boundless Pow'r and Skill divine.
2 From Might 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.
3 Yet their divine Instructions run
Far as the Journeys of the Sun,
And every Nation knows their Voice:
The Sun, like some young Bridegroom drest,
Breaks from the Chambers of the East,
Rolls round, and makes the Earth rejoice.
4 Where'er he spreads his Beams abroad,
He smiles, and speaks his Maker GOD;
All Nature joins to shew thy Praise:
Thus GOD in every Creature shines;
Fair is the Book of Nature's Lines,
But fairer is the Book of Grace.

5 I love the Volumes of thy Word;
What Light and Joy those Leaves afford
To Souls benighted and distrest!
Thy Precepts guide my doubtful Way,
Thy Fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy Promise leads my Heart to Rest.
6 From the Discov'ries of thy Law
The perfect Rules of Life I draw;
These are my Study and Delight:
Not Honey so invites the Taste,
Nor Gold that hath the Furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the Sight.
7 Thy Threat'nings wake my slumb'ring Eyes,
And warn me where my Danger lies;
But 'tis thy blessed Gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty Conscience clean,
Converts my Soul, subdues my Sin,
And gives a free, but large Reward.
8 Who knows the Errors of his Thoughts?
My GOD, forgive my secret Faults,
And from presumptuous Sins restrain;
Accept my poor Attempts of Praise,
That I have read thy Book of Grace,
And Book of Nature not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 19

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Hymnal: The Hymnbook #23 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: God Nature, in; Nature Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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 man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 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!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Tune Title: BETHLEHEM
All Nature's Works His Praise Declare
Sinners and saints in the wreck of nature
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCCLXIX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Saints In the wreck of nature; Sinners In the wreck of nature First Line: How great, how terrible that God Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God,
Who shakes creation with his nod!
He frowns--earth, sea, all nature's frame
Sink in one universal flame.
2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek
For shelter in the general wreck;
Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown?
See rocks, like snow dissolving down.
3 In vain for mercy now they cry;
In lakes of liquid fire they lie;
There on the flaming billows tost,
For ever--O forever lost!
4 But saints, undaunted and serene,
With calmness view the dreadful scene;
Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire,
And earth and skies dissolve in fire.
5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend,
To thee my all I dare commend;
thou canst preserve my feeble soul,
When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.
Scripture: Isaiah 24:18-20 Languages: English
Sinners and saints in the wreck of nature
