- 1High in the heavens, eternal God,
- Thy goodness in full glory shines;
- Thy truth shall break through every cloud
- That veils and darkens Thy designs.
- 2For ever firm Thy justice stands,
- As mountains their foundations keep;
- Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
- Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
- 3Thy providence is kind and large,
- Both man and beast Thy bounty share;
- The whole creation is Thy charge,
- But saints are Thy peculiar care.
- 4My God, how excellent Thy grace,
- Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
- The sons of Adam in distress
- Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
- 5Life, like a fountain rich and free,
- Springs from the presence of the Lord;
- And in Thy light our souls shall see
- The glories promised in Thy Word.
