In awful grandeur, robed in light,
Jehovah sits and reigns;
The rightful lord of heaven and earth,
His sovereign power maintains.
All perfect and all wise is he,
And can no changes know;
His throne is fixed for ever high,
Let worlds sink ere so low.
The radiant sun is still the same,
E’en while a cloud obscures;
And though the Lord may hide his face,
His purpose still endures.
Nature convulsed, yet he enjoys
Eternal, sacred rest;
And were the universe dissolved,
He in himself is blessed.
Peace then, my unbelieving heart,
Which fills me oft with shame;
Let this a secret joy afford,
That God is still the same.
