The Glory of God

Verse 1

O GOD, thou bottomless abyss! Thee to perfection who can know? O height immense! what words suffice, Thy countless attributes to show?

Verse 2

Greatness unspeakable is thine; Greatness, whose undiminished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and heaven are fled away.

Verse 3

Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life's unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by thy word, It lives, and moves, and is, from thee.

Verse 4

High is thy power above all height; Whate'er thy will decrees is done; Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!
