Eternal Power, whose high abode
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God:
In vain the loftiest angel tries
To reach thy height with wondering eyes.
2 Thy dazzling glories while he sings,
He hides his face beneath his wings;
Seraphs that most with ardor glow,
Still at an humble distance bow.
3 Earth from afar has heard thy fame,
And worms have learned to lisp thy name;
But oh, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
4 God is in heaven and man below;
Soft be our strains, our words be few;
A sacred reverence checks our songs,
And praise sits trembling on our tongues.
Topics: General Praise; God Exalted Above all Praise

The People That in Darkness Sat
Author: John Morison (1750-1798) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the Light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 Lord Jesus, reign in us we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit one. Topics: Epiphany (season); Christmas Used With Tune: DUNDEE
