2 His terrors keep the world in awe; His justice guards his holy law; His love reveals a smiling face. His truth and promise seal the grace. 3 Through all his works his wisdom shines, And baffles Satan’s deep designs; His power is sovereign to fulfill The noblest counsels of his will. 4 And will this glorious Lord descend To be my father and my friend? Then let my songs with angels join; Heaven is secure, if God be mine. 29 L. M. Psalm 100. With one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay, with awful mirth, And sing before him songs of praise: 2 Convinced that he is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed; We, whom he chooses for his own, The flock that he vouchsafes to keep. 3 O, enter, then, his temple gate, Thence to his courts devoutly press; And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still his name with praises bless. 4 For he’s the Lord supremely good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure. 30 L. M. Of him are all things. Rom. 11:36. O source divine, and life of all, The fount of being’s wondrous sea! Thy depth would every heart appall, That saw not love supreme in thee. 2 We shrink before thy vast abyss, Where worlds on worlds eternal brood; We know thee truly but in this— That thou bestowest all our good. 3 And so, ’mid boundless time and space, O grant us still in thee to dwell, And through the ceaseless web to trace Thy presence working all things well! 31 L. M. In him we live and move. Acts 17:28. Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord! Essential life’s unbounded sea! What lives and moves, lives by thy word; It lives, and moves, and is, from thee! Whate’er in earth, or sea, or sky, Or shuns, or meets, the wandering thought, Escapes, or strikes, the searching eye, By thee was to existence brought. 2 High is thy power above all hight; Whate’er thy will decrees is done: Thy wisdom, holiness and might Can by no finite mind be known. What our dim eyes could never see, Is plain and naked in thy sight; What thickest darkness vails, to thee Shines clearly as the morning light. 3 Thine, Lord, is holiness, alone: Justice and truth before thee stand: Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne, Love ever dwells at thy right hand. And to thy love and ceaseless care, Father! this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great source of life! doth flow.
