Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16263 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The highest heavens, the brightest sun Lyrics:
1 The highest heavens, the brightest sun,
Are but faint emblems of their Lord;
He is the great, the mighty One,
Strong is His arm, and true His word.
2 On earth what can with Him compare?
Princes from Him derive their power;
Riches but sordid trifles are,
And beauty but a fading flower.
3 He formed the stars, those glittering orbs,
Which move and shine at His command;
He made the boisterous sea, and curbs
Its raging billows with His hand.
4 His awful thunder shakes the skies,
The dusky clouds He makes His throne;
With fearful speed His lightning flies,
And storms of hail come rattling down.
5 The blustering winds His will obey,
All nature trembles at His nod;
He governs with resistless sway,
And spreads His terrors all abroad.
