Great God, My Maker and my King
Of thee I'll speak, of thee I'll sing
All thou hast done, and all thou dost
Declare thee good, proclaim thee just
Thy ancient thoughts and firm decrees
The threat'nings and thy promises
The joys of heaven, the pains of hell
What angels taste, what devils feel
Thy terrors and thy acts of grace
Thy threat'ning rod and smiling face
Thy wounding, and thy healing word
A world undone, a church restored
While these excite my fear and joy
While these my tuneful lips employ
Accept, O Lord, the humble song
The tribute of a trembling tongue.
