His oceans all rumble
and batter His shore,
But He will be new
when its waves are no more.
His mountains reach skyward
to touch His sweet face;
His forests burst forth
as He showers their place.
The mighty Leviathan
leaps in His seas,
The eagle mounts up
on the joy of His breeze.
The creatures of earth
borrow life from His hand,
Their days are all numbered
by His firm command.
Eternity springs from
His Infinite Mind—
All time and all space
from His fingers unwind,
His intricate, limitless,
unbounded skill
Spins threads of His sovereign,
inscrutable will.
The thunder of Sinai
resounds in our ears,
The judgment of God
stirs the deepest of fears!
But, awesome and wondrous—
more staggering still—
The flashes of lightning
from Calvary’s hill!
But O! How mighty,
how perfect, how free,
How blessèd, how precious,
how lovely is He!
And O! How grand,
and how sweet to behold
The trophies of grace
He has won from of old!
A radiant triumph
illumines His face!
He strides to His throne,
the Colossus of Grace!
He sits, and His Father
proclaims Him True Son!
His strife is now over;
His battle is done.
We bow, we adore,
we fall down at His throne,
He gathers us into
His arms as His own!
He seats us in glory
beside Him above,
To crown His achievement
with splendors of love!
