The Greatness of God

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Job 5:9

Verse 1

My God, my King, your various praise shall fill the hours of all my days; let grace employ my humble tongue, let truth and glory shape the song.

Verse 2

The wings of every hour shall bear some thankful tribute to your ear; and every setting sun shall see new works of duty done by me.

Verse 3

Your truth and justice I'll proclaim; your bounty flows, an endless stream; your mercy swift, your anger slow, confounding every stubborn foe.

Verse 4

God, who can tell your wondrous deeds! Your greatness all our thought exceeds; vast and unsearchable your ways; vast and immortal be your praise!
