God of Eternity

Representative Text

1. God of Eter­ni­ty, Au­thor of Time,
Giver and Source of Life, Ruler sub­lime—
Thou un­cre­ate­d Lord, An­cient of Days,
Glorious in ho­li­ness, fear­ful in praise—

Refrain

High ov­er all Thy works, blest ev­er­more,
God of the Uni­verse, Thee we ad­ore.

2. Wondrous in ma­jes­ty, wis­dom and might,
Lo! ’twas Thy voice that said, "Let there be light";
Vast realms and num­ber­less, Lord, are Thy own;
Nations and scep­tered kings bow at Thy throne.

Refrain

3. Thine is a per­fect law; Thy word is pure;
Righteous are all Thy ways; Thy judg­ments sure;
Mercy and truth ab­ide ev­er with Thee;
Love like a riv­er flows, deep as the sea.

Refrain
