XLI. High in the heavens, eternal God

1 High in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break thro' ev'ry cloud
Which veils and darkens thy designs.

2 Forever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands,
Thy judgments are a mighty deep!

3 Thy mercy makes the earth thy care,
Thy providence is kind and large;
Angels and men thy bounty share,
The whole creation is thy charge.

4 Since of thy goodness all partake,
With what assurance may the just
Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make,
And saints to thy protection trust.

5 Such guest shall to thy courts be led,
And there enjoy a rich repast;
There drink, as from a fountain head,
Of joys which shall forever last.

6 With thee the springs of life remain,
Thy presence is eternal day;
O let thy saints thy favour gain,
To upright hearts thy truth display.
