Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone

Verse 1

Thou, O LORD, art God alone, everlasting is Thy throne; thro' the ages men shall sing praise to heav'n's eternal King. You, enthroned above the skies, wilt for Zion's help arise; let Thy grace to her appear, for the promised time is near.

Verse 2

If with love compassionate we, Thy servants, mourn her state, wilt not Thou, O gracious LORD, help in Zion's need afford? LORD, Thy glory shall appear, kings and nations then shall fear; and Thy name shall be adored when Thy Zion is restored.

Verse 3

This all ages shall record for the glory of the Lord; Thou dost hear the humble prayer, for the helpless Thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, heav'n and earth Thou didst create; heav'n and earth shall pass away, changeless Thou shalt live for aye.

Verse 4

As one lays a garment by, Thou wilt change the starry sky like a vesture worn and old; but Thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make Thy servants' race ever live before Thy face, and forever at Thy side children's children shall abide.
