Immutability of God

Author: Dr. Doddridge Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame, Our souls adore thine awful name; And bow and tremble, while they praise The ancient of eternal days. 2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey, Saw'st nature rising yesterday; And, as tomorrow, shall thine eye See earth and stars in ruin lie. 3 Beyond an angel's vision bright, Thou dwell'st in self-existent light. Which shines with undiminish'd ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with ev'ry circling sun, And in the firmest state we boast, A moth can crush us into dust. 5 But let the creatures fall around; Let death consign us to the ground, Let the last general flame arise, And melt the Arches of the skies: 6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we, Can all the wreck of nature see, While grace secures us an abode, Unshaken as the throne of God.

Scripture: Psalm 136
