Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #55 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
How frail and weak are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to Thee.
2 Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere earth or heaven was made:
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.
3 Nature and time all open lie
To Thine immense survey,
From the formation of the sky
To the last awful day.
4 Eternity, with all its years,
Stands present in Thy view;
To Thee there’s nothing old appears,
To Thee there’s nothing new.
5 Our lives through various scenes are drawn,
And vex'd with trifling cares;
While Thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturb'd affairs.
6 Great God, how infinite art Thou!
How frail and weak are w!
Let the whole race of creatures bow
And pay their praise to Thee. Topics: God Eternal and Unchangeable; Majesty of God; Wisdom of God Languages: English
