Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #79 (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 High in the heav'ns, eternal God!
Thy goodness in full glory shines,
Thy truth shall break thro' ev'ry cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
2 For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
3 Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.
4 My God! how excellent thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of thy wings.
5 From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.
6 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promis'd in thy word. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 Languages: English
High in the heav'ns, eternal God!
