1 Eternal God, Thou only just,
Thou only gracious, wise and true,
Not unto us, who are but dust,
But unto Thee is glory due.
2 The Lord we serve maintains His throne
Above the clouds, beyond the sky;
His will shall through the earth be done;
He answers to His servants cry.
3 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope,
Thy refuge, and thy rest;
For He shall build thy ruins up;
Yea, all His Israel shall be blest!
4 The dead praise not Thy goodness, Lord,
Neither the silent in the grave;
But all who live shall bless Thy word,
And sound Thy mighty power to save.
56 Eternal God, Thou only just
