Eternal God! eternal King!
Ruler of heaven and earth beneath!
From thee our hopes,our comforts spring;
In thee we live, and move, and breathe.
Thy word brought forth the flaming sun,
The changeful moon, the starry host:
In thine appointed course they run,
Till in the final ruin lost.
At thy command the storm is dumb;
And to the sea thy power hath said,
“No further shalt thou dare to come,
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed.”
Thy sway is known below, above,
And full of majesty thy voice:
And, as it speaks, in wrath or love,
The nations tremble or rejoice.
The final, awful hour is near,
Times paces on with ceaseless tread,
When opening graves that voice shall hear,
And render up the sleeping dead.
Oh, in that great decisive day,
May we be found in Christ, and stand,
While, flaming worlds shall melt away,
Accepted, owned, at thy right hand!
