Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1747 Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 unsurprised 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 undiminished ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4. Our days a transient period run, And change with every 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ARIZONA
