1 Eternal God, Almighty Cause
Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown!
All things are subject to thy laws,
All things depend on thee alone.
2 Thy glorious being singly stands,
Of all within itself possest;
Controul'd by none are thy commands,
Thou from thyself alone art blest.
3 To thee alone ourselves we owe,
Let heav'n and earth due homage pay;
All other Gods we disavow,
Deny their claims, renounce their sway.
4 Spread thy great name thro' every land,
Each idol deity dethrone,
Let earth with all her tongues confess
That thou the Lord art God alone
