Psalm 65 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.139 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Seasons of the year First Line: 'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand Lyrics:
'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand,
God of eternal power;
The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.
Thy morning light and ev'ning shade
Successive comforts bring;
Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flowers adorn the spring.
Seasons and times, and moons and hours,
Heav'n, earth, and air, are thine;
When clouds distil in fruitful showers,
The Author is divine.
Those wand'ring cisterns in the sky,
Borne by the winds around
With wat'ry treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.
The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year.

Psalm 147 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.333 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Seasons of the year First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty God Lyrics:
O Britain, praise thy mighty God,
And make his honors known abroad,
He bid the ocean round thee flow;
Not bars of brass could guard thee so.
Thy children are secure and blest;
Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest;
He feeds thy sons with finest wheat,
And adds his blessing to their meat.
Thy changing seasons he ordains,
Thine early and thy latter rains;
His flakes of snow like wool he sends,
And thus the springing corn defends.
With hoary frost he strews the ground;
His hail descends with clatt'ring sound:
Where is the man so vainly bold
That dares defy his dreadful cold?
He bids the southern breezes blow;
The ice dissolves, the waters flow:
But he hath nobler works and ways
To call the Britons to his praise.
To all the isle his laws are shown,
His gospel through the nation known;
He hath not thus revealed his word
To every land: praise ye the Lord.

Spring
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #D (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Behold! long-wish'd for spring is come Lyrics: 1 Behold! long-wish'd-for spring is come,
How alter'd is the scene!
The trees and shrubs are dress'd in bloom,
The earth array'd in green.
2 Where'er we tread, the clustering flowers
Beauteous around us spring;
The birds, with joint harmonious powers,
Invite our hearts to sing.
3 But ah! in vain I strive to join,
Opprest with sin and doubt;
I feel 'tis winter still within,
Tho' all is spring without.
4 O! would my Savior from on high,
Break thro' these clouds and shine
No creature then more blest than I,
No song more loud than mine.
5 Lord, let thy word my hopes revive,
And overcome my foes;
O make my languid graces thrive
And blossom like the rose.

Eternal source of ev'ry joy!
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H74 (1789) Topics: The Seasons crown'd with Goodness Lyrics: 1 Eternal source of ev'y joy!
Thy praise shall ev'ry voice employ,
While in thy temple we appear,
To hail thee, Sov'reign of the year.
2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll,
Thy hand supports and guides the whole:
The sun is taught by thee to rise,
And darkness when to veil the skies.
3 The flow'ry spring, at thy command,
Perfumes the air and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigor shine
To raise the corn and cheer the vine.
4 Thy hand, in autumn richly pours
Thro' all our coasts redundant stores;
While winter's, soften'd by thy care,
NO face of want or horror wear.
5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days
Demand successive songs of praise;
And be the grateful homage paid,
With morning light, and evening shade.
6 Here in thy house let incense rise,
And circling sabbaths bless our eyes,
'Till to those brighter courts we soar,
Where days and years revolve no more. Languages: English

Spring
Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXXI (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons First Line: From winter's barren clods Lyrics: 1 From winter's barren clods
From winter's joyless waste,
The spring in sudden youth appears,
With blooming beauty grac'd.
2 How balmy is the air!
How warm the solar beams!
And to refresh the ground, the rains
Descend in gentle streams.
3 Great God, at thy command
Seasons in order rise:
Thy power in love and concert reign
Thro' earth, and seas, and skies:
4 With grateful praise we own
Thy providential hand,
While grass for kine, and herb and corn
For men, enrich the land:
5 But greater still the gift
Of thine incarnate Son;
By him forgiveness, peace, and joy
Thro' endless ages run.

On a Year of threatening Rain
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: How hast thou Lord, from year to year Lyrics: 1 How hast thou Lord, from year to year,
Our land with plenty crown'd?
And generous fruit and golden grain
Have spread their riches round.
2 But we Thy mercies have abus'd
To more abounding crimes:
What heights, what daring heights in sin
Mark and disgrace our times!
3 Equal tho' awful is the doom,
That fierce descending rain
Should into inundations swell,
And crush the rising grain!
4 How just that in the autumn’s reign,
When we had hop'd to reap,
Our fields of sorrow and despair
Should lie a hedious heap.
5 But, Lord, have mercy on our land,
Those floods of vengeance stay;
Dispel these glooms, and let the sun
Shine in unclouded day!
6 To thee alone we look for help;
None else of dew or rain
Can give the world the smallest drop,
Or smallest drop restrain. Languages: English

The God of Thunder
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: O the immense, th' amazing height Lyrics: 1 O the immense! th' amazing height.
The boundless grandeur of a God,
Who treads the worlds beneath his feet,
And sways the nations with his nod!
2 He speaks; and lo, all nature shakes,
Heaven's everlasting pillars bow,
He rends the clouds with hideous cracks,
And shouts his fiery arrows thro'.
3 Well let the nations start and fly
At the blue lightning's horrid glare,
Atheists and emperors shrink and die,
When flame and noise torment the air.
4 Let noise and flame confound the skies,
And drown the spacious realms below,
Yet we will sing the thunderer's praise,
And send our loud hosannas thro'.
5 Celestial king, thy blazing power
Kindles our hearts to flaming joys,
We shout to hear thy thunders roar,
And echo to our father's voice.
6 Thus shall the God our Savior come,
And lightnings round his chariot play,
Ye lightnings, fly to make him room,
Ye glorious storms prepare his way.

Winter
Author: Newton Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXXIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons First Line: See how rude winter's icy hand Lyrics: 1 See, how rude winter’s icy hand
Has stripp'd the trees, and seal'd the ground
But spring shall soon his rage withstand
And spread new beauties all around.
2 My soul a sharper winter mourns,
Barren and fruitless I remain;
When will the gentle spring return,
And bid my graces grow again?
3 Jesus, my glorious sun, arise!
’Tis thine the frozen heart to move;
O! hush these storms, and clear my skies,
And let me feel thy vital love!
4 Dear Lord, regard my feeble cry,
I faint and droop till thou appear;
Wilt thou permit thy plant to die;
Must it be winter all the year?
5 Be still my soul and wait his hour,
With humble prayer and patient faith;
Till he reveals his gracious power,
Repose on what his promise saith.
6 He by whose all-commanding word,
Seasons their changing course maintain;
In every change a pledge affords,
That none shall seek his face in vain. Languages: English

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Stern winter throws his icy chains Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains
Encircling nature round;
How bleak, how comfortless the plains,
Late with gay verdure crown'd!
2 The sun withdraws his vital beams,
And light, and warmth depart:
And drooping, lifeless nature seems
An emblem of my heart.
3 My heart, when mental winter reigns
In night's dark mantle clad,
Confin'd in cold inactive chains,
How desolate and sad!
4 Return, O blissful sun, and bring
The soul reviving ray;
This mental winter shall be spring,
This darkness cheerful day.
5 O happy state, divine abode,
Where spring eternal reigns;
And perfect day, the smile of God,
Fills all the heavenly plains.
6 Great source of light, thy beams display,
My drooping joys restore,
And guide me to the seats of day,
Where winter frowns no more. Languages: English
