I. Watts
HIGH in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall breakthrough every cloud
That vails Thy just and wise designs.
2
Forever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands,
Thy judgements are a mighty deep.
3
O God, how excellent Thy grace!
Whence all our hope, our comfort springs,
The sons of Adam, in distress,
Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
4
Life, like a fountain, rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
The Glories promised in Thy Word.
