The Unity of God

Verse 1

Eternal God! almighty cause Of earth and seas, and worlds unknown! All things are subject to thy laws: All things depend on thee alone.

Verse 2

Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possessed; By none controlled in thy commands, And in thyself completely blessed.

Verse 3

To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heaven and earth due homage pay; All other gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway.

Verse 4

In thee, O Lord, our hope shall rest, Fountain of peace and joy and love! Thy favor only makes us blest; Without thee all would nothing prove.

Verse 5

Worship to thee alone belongs; Worship to thee alone we give; Thine be our hearts and thine our songs, And to thy glory let us live.

Verse 6

Spread thy great name through heathen lands; Their idol deities dethrone; Subdue the world to thy commands, And reign, as thou art, God alone.
