1 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
How frail and weak 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 all open lie
To Thine immense survey,
From the formation of the sky,
To the last awful day.
4 Eternity, with all its years,
Stands present to Thy view;
To Thee there’s nothing old appears;
To Thee there’s nothing new.
5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vexed with trifling cares;
While Thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.
6 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
How frail and weak are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee.
