With deepest reverence at Thy throne

With deepest reverence at Thy throne

Author: Edmund Butcher
Tune: HEBRON (Mason)
Published in 22 hymnals

Representative Text

1 With deepest reverence at thy throne,
Jehovah, peerless and unknown!
Our feeble spirits strive, in vain,
A glimpse of thee, great God! to gain.

2 Who, by the closest search, can find
The eternal uncreated mind?
Nor men nor angels can explore
Thy hights of love, thy depths of power.

3 That power we trace on every side;
O may thy wisdom be our guide
And while we live, and when we die,
May thy almighty love be nigh.
