THOU, the great, eternal Lord,

By A Collection of Hymns


      7s & 6s. The same subject.
      1 THOU, the great, eternal Lord,
      Art high above our thought!
      Worthy to be feared, adored,
      By all thy hands have wrought;
      None can with thyself compare;
      Thy glory fills both earth and sky;
      We, and all thy creatures, are
      As nothing in thine eye.

      2 Of thy great unbounded power
      To thee the praise we give,
      Infinitely great, and more
      Than heart can e'er conceive;
      When thou wilt to work proceed,
      Thy purpose firm none can withstand,
      Frustrate the determined deed,
      Or stay the almighty hand.

      3 Thou, O God, art wise alone!
      Thy counsel doth excel;
      Wonderful thy works we own,
      Thy ways unsearchable;
      Who can sound the mystery,
      Thy judgments' deep abyss explain?
      Thine, whose eyes in darkness see,
      And search the heart of man.
