O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope,
The highest orb of heaven transcends;
Thy sacred truth’s unmeasured scope
Beyond the sparkling skies extends.
Thy justice like the hills remains;
Unfathomed depths thy judgments are;
Thy providence the world sustains;
The who creation is thy care.
Since of thy goodness all partake,
With what assurance should the just
Thy sheltering wings their refuge make,
And saints to thy protection trust.
Such priests shall to thy courts be led,
To banquet on thy love’s repast;
And drink, as from a fountain’s head,
Of joys that shall forever last.
With thee the springs of life remain,
Thy presence is eternal day:
O let thy Saints thy favor gain;
To upright hearts thy truth display.
---Alternative verses---
O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope,
The highest orb of heaven transcends;
Thy sacred truth's unmeasured scope
Beyond the spreading skies extends.
Thy justice like the hills remains;
How deep, great God, thy judgments are!
Thy providence the world sustains;
The who creation is thy care.
