Great God, Thy Glories Shall Employ

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9391 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God! Thy glories shall employ Lyrics: 1 Great God! Thy glories shall employ My holy fear, my humble joy; My lips in songs of honor bring Their tribute to th’eternal King. 2 Earth, and the stars, and worlds unknown, Depend precarious on His throne; All nature hangs upon His word, And grace and glory own their Lord. 3 His sovereign power, what mortal knows? If He command, who dares oppose? With strength He girds Himself around, And treads the rebels to the ground. 4 Who shall pretend to teach Him skill, Or guide the counsels of His will? His wisdom, like a sea divine, Flows deep and high beyond our line. 5 His name is holy, and His eye Burns with immortal jealousy; He hates the sons of pride, and sheds His fiery vengeance on their heads. 6 The beamings of His piercing sight Bring dark hypocrisy to light; Death and destruction naked lie, And hell uncovered to His eye. 7 Th’eternal law before Him stands; His justice, with impartial hands, Divides to all their due reward, Or by the scepter or the sword. 8 His mercy, like a boundless sea, Washes our load of guilt away; While His own Son came down and died T’engage His justice on our side. 9 Each of His words demands my faith; My soul can rest on all He saith; His truth inviolably keeps The largest promise of His lips. 10 O tell me, with a gentle voice, Thou art my God, and I’ll rejoice! Filled with Thy love I dare proclaim The brightest honors of Thy name. Languages: English Tune Title: MARCHFIELD
