Isaac Watts - Hymn 166Isaac Watts - Hymn 166
Work rating: Low


The Divine Perfections. How shall I praise th` eternal God, That infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode, Or venture near his throne? [The great Invisible! he dwells Concealed in dazzling light; But his all-searching eye reveals The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep Survey the world around His wisdom is a boundless deep Where all our thoughts are drowned.] [Speak we of strength? his arm is strong To save or to destroy; Infinite years his life prolong, And endless is his joy.] [He knows no shadow of a change Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains To guard his promises.] [Sinners before his presence die; How holy is his name! His anger and his jealousy Burn like devouring flame.] Justice upon a dreadful throne Maintains the rights of God; While Mercy sends her pardons down, Bought with a Savior`s blood. Now to my soul, immortal King! Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing The glories of my Lord.
