Text: | Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand |
Author: | Philip Doddridge |
Tune: | HEBRON (MASON) |
Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand:
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
Let mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit
And, peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or deprest,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues,
Our Helper God, in whom we trust,
Shall keep our souls and guard our dust.
Amen.
