In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: How shall I praise the eternal God Lyrics: 1 How shall I praise the eternal God,
That infinite Unknown?
Who can ascend his high abode,
Or venture near his throne?
2 Heaven’s brightest lamps, with him compared,
How mean they look, and dim!
The holy angels have no spots,
Yet can’t compare with him.
3 Holy is he in all his works,
And truth is his delight;
But sinners, and their wicked ways,
Shall perish from his sight.
4 None but his favourites may draw near,
Who stand in Christ complete;
Those holy ones shall all appear
And worship at his feet.
5 In Jesus’ image shining bright
With rapture they adore
The holy, holy, holy Lord, Topics: The Perfections of God Languages: English
