The Majesty and Condescension of God

Verse 1

Let all delight to serve you, LORD, the honors of your name record, and ever bless your sacred name. Where'er the circling sun displays its rising beams or setting rays, the lands and seas will do the same.

Verse 2

Nor time nor nature's narrow rounds can give your vast dominion bounds; the heav'ns are far below your heights; our own created works won’t dare to think with yours they can compare; your pow'r shows all-creating might!

Verse 3

You bow your glorious head to view what all the hosts of angels do, and bend your care to earthly things; your sov'reign hand exalts the poor, receives the humble at your door and makes them company for kings.
