- 1Eternal Power, whose high abode
- Becomes the grandeur of a God,
- Infinite lengths beyond the bounds
- Where stars revolve their little rounds!
- 2Thee, while the first archangel sings,
- He hides his face behind his wings;
- And ranks of shining thrones around
- Fall worshipping, and spread the ground.
- 3Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?
- We would adore our Maker too!
- From sin and dust to Thee we cry,
- The Great, the Holy, and the High.
- 4Earth from afar hath heard Thy fame,
- And men have learned to lisp Thy name:
- But, O! the glories of Thy mind
- Leave all our soaring thoughts behind!
- 5God is in heaven, and men below;
- Be short our tunes, our words be few!
- A solemn reverence checks our songs,
- And praise sits silent on our tongues.
