Text: | Father of all, whose powerful voice |
Author: | J. Wesley |
1 Father of all, whose powerful voice
Called forth this universal frame!
Whose mercies over all rejoice,
Through endless ages still the same:
Thou by thy word upholdest all;
Thy bounteous love to all is showed;
Thou hearest thy every creature's call,
And fillest every mouth with good.
2 In heaven thou reign'st enthroned in light,
Nature's expanse before thee spread;
Earth, air, and sea before thy sight,
And hell's deep gloom are open laid:
Wisdom and might and love are thine;
Prostrate before thy face we fall,
Confess thine attributes divine,
And hail thee Sovereign Lord of all.
