1 My God, thy boundless love I praise; How bright on high its glories blaze! How sweetly bloom below! It streams from thy eternal throne; Through heav'n its joys for ever run, And o'er the earth they flow. 2 'Tis love that paints the purple morn, And bids the clouds, in air upborne, Their genial drops distil; In ev'ry vernal beam it glows, And breathes in ev'ry gale that blows, And glides in ev'ry rill. 3 It robes in cheerful green the ground, And pours its flowery beauties round, Whose sweets perfume the gale; Its bounties richly spread the plain, The blushing fruit, the golden grain, And smile on ev'ry vale. 4 But in thy gospel see it shine With grace and glories more divine, Proclaiming sins forgiv'n. There faith, bright cherus, points the way To realms of everlasting day, And opens all her heav'n. 5 Then let the love, that makes me blest, With cheerful praise inspire my breast, And ardent gratitude; And all my thoughts and passions tend To thee, my Father and my Friend, My soul's eternal good. | The Voice of Praise: a collection of hymns for the use of the Methodist Church #125 (1873) Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #61 (1870) The Cyber Hymnal #9532 Hymns, Selected and Original: for public and private worship (1st ed.) #33 (1828) A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy: for the use of Evangelical Lutheran Churches; to which are added prayers for families and individuals #52 (1814) |
