Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:11-13

The thunders of His hand Keep the wide world in awe His wrath and justice stand To guard His holy law. And where His love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace. His truth confirms and seals the grace.

Through all His mighty works Amazing wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell And all their dark designs, Strong is His arm, and shall fulfill His great decrees and sovereign will. His great decrees and sovereign will.
