  1. 1My God in whom are all the springs,
  2. Of boundless love, and grace unknown,
  3. Hide me beneath thy spreading wings,
  4. Till the dark cloud is overblown.
  5. 2Up to the heav’ns I send my cry,
  6. The Lord will my desires perform;
  7. He sends his angel from the sky,
  8. And saves me from the threat’ning storm.
  9. 3Be thou exalted, O my God,
  10. Above the heav’ns where angels dwell;
  11. Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad,
  12. And land to land thy wonders tell.
  13. 4My heart is fix'd; my song shall raise
  14. Immortal honours to thy name;
  15. Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise,
  16. My tongue, the glory of my frame.
  17. 5High o’er the earth his mercy reigns,
  18. And reaches to the utmost sky;
  19. His truth to endless years remains,
  20. When lower worlds dissolve and die.
  21. 6Be thou exalted, O my God,
  22. Above the heav’ns, where angels dwell;
  23. Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad,
  24. And land to land thy wonders tell.
