EN 2842 Eternal Power, Whose High Abode

Matt.6.9

Versi Version 1

1

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Becomes the grandeur of a God,

Infinite lengths beyond the bounds

Where stars resolve their little rounds!

2

The lowest step around Thy seat,

Rises too high for Gabriel’s feet;

In vain the favored angel tries

To reach Thine height with wond’ring eyes.

3

There while the first archangel sings,

He hides his face behind his wings,

And ranks of shining thrones around

Fall worshiping, and spread the ground.

4

Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?

We would adore our Maker, too;

From sin and dust to Thee we cry,

The Great, the Holy, and the High.

5

Earth from afar has heard Thy fame,

And worms have learned to lisp Thy Name;

But, O! the glories of Thy mind

Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.

6

God is in Heaven, and men below;

Be short our tunes, our words be few;

A solemn reverence checks our songs,

And praise sits silent on our tongues.
