Far as east from west is distant

Verse 1

Far as east from west is distant He hath put away our sin; Like the pity of a Father Hath the Lord's compassion been, Well be knows our frame, rememb'ring We are dust, our days like grass; Man is like the flower blooming, Till the hot winds o'er it pass.

Verse 2

Then 'tis gone, and is remembered By its former place no more; But on them that fear Jehovah Rests his mercy evermore. As it was without beginning, So it lasts without an end; To their children's children ever, Shall his righteousness extend.

Verse 3

Unto such as keep his cov'nant, And are steadfast in his way; Unto those who still remember His commandments and obey. In the heavens high, Jehovah Hath for him prepared a throne, And throughout his vast dominion All his works his power shall own.
