Divine Majesty

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 18:27

Verse 1

Eternal Power, whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds:

Verse 2

Thee while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings; And ranks of shining ones around Fall worshipping and spread the ground.

Verse 3

Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too! From sin and dust to thee we cry, The great, the holy, and the high!
