Omnipotence; or, the Power and Providence of God

Verse 1

Ye servants of your God, his fame In songs of highest praise proclaim: Ye who, on his commands intent, The courts of Israel's Lord frequent.

Verse 2

Him praise the everlasting king, And mercy's unexhausted spring: Haste, to his name your voices rear; What name like his the heart can cheer?

Verse 3

Thy greatness, Lord, my thoughts attest, With awful gratitude impress'd, Nor know among the seats divine, A power that shall contend with thine,

Verse 4

O thou, whose all-disposing sway, The heavens, the earth, and seas obey; Whose might through all extent extends, Sinks through all depth, all height transcends;

Verse 5

From earth's low margin to the skies, Now bids he pregnant vapors rise, The lightning's pallid sheet expands, And glads with show'rs the furrow'd lands:

Verse 6

Now from thy storehouse, built on high, Permits the imprison'd winds to fly, And, guided by thy will, to sweep The surface of the foaming deep.

Verse 7

Him praise, the everlasting king, And mercy's unexhasuted spring: Haste, to his name your voices rear; What name like his the heart can cheer?
