High in the hea-vens, e-ter-nal God,
Thy good-ness in full glo-ry shines;
Thy truth shall break thru ev-ery cloud
That veils and dark-ens Thy de-signs.
For ev-er firm Thy jus-tice stands,
As moun-tains their foun-da-tions keep;
Wise are the won-ders of Thy hands;
Thy judg-ments are a might-y deep.
Thy prov-i-dence is kind and large,
Both man and beast Thy boun-ty share;
The whole cre-a-tion is Thy charge,
But saints are Thy pe-cu-liar care.
My God! how ex-cel-lent Thy grace,
Whence all our hope and com-fort springs!
The sons of A-dam in dis-tress
Fly to the sha-dow of Thy wings.
From the pro-vi-sions of Thy house
We shall be fed with sweet re-past;
There mer-cy like a riv-er flows,
And brings sal-va-tion to our taste.
Life, like a foun-tain rich and free,
Springs from the pres-ence of the Lord;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
The glo-ries prom-ised in Thy Word.
