The Infinity of God. Ps. 147. 5; Heb. 4. 13
-
1 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow. And pay their praise to thee!
-
2 Thy throne eternal ages stood. Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead.
-
3 [Nature and time quite naked lie To thy immense survey. From the formation of the sky.
To the great burning day.]
-
4 Eternity, with all its years. Stands present in thy view;
To thee there’s nothing old appears - Great God! there’s nothing new!
-
5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn. And vexed with trifling cares.
While thy eternal thought moves on Thy undisturbed affairs.
-
6 Great God! how infinite art thou! What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow. And pay their praise to thee!
