Great God! How Infinite Art Thou

Verse 1

Great God, how infinite art Thou! What worthless ones are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to Thee.

Verse 2

Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead.

Verse 3

Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in Thy view; To Thee there’s nothing old appears; Great God, there’s nothing new.

Verse 4

Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares, While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturbed affairs.

Verse 5

Amen.
