Great God, how infinite thou art!

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 322 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite thou art! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or stars were made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present in thy view; To thee there's nothing old appears, Nor aught to thee is new! 4 Our lives through various scenes are drawn, And vexed with trifling cares; While thy eternal thought moves on Thy undisturbed affairs. 5 Great God, how infinite thou art! What worthless worms are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Used With Tune: GENEVA
