Verses
1 High in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens Thy designs.
2 For ever firm Thy justice stands
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgements are a mighty deep.
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens Thy designs.
2 For ever firm Thy justice stands
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgements are a mighty deep.
3 My God, how excellent Thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
4 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in Thy word.
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
4 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in Thy word.
