Text:

The Perfections of God

1 Great is the Lord; his Works of Might
Demand our noblest Songs:
Let his assembled Saints unite
Their Harmony of Tongues.

2 Great is the Mercy of the Lord,
He gives his Children Food;
And, ever mindful of his Word,
He makes his Promise good.

3 His Son, the great Redeemer, came
To seal his Cov'nant sure;
Holy and Reverend is his Name,
His Ways are just and pure.

4 They that would grow divinely wise
Must with his Fear begin;
Our fairest Proof of Knowledge lies
In hating ev'ry Sin.
