Text: | To God the only wise |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | ST. ANDREW |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby |
1 To God the only wise,
Our Saviour and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
2 ’Tis His almighty love,
His counsel, and His care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
3 He will present our souls
Unblemished and complete
Before the glory of His face,
With joys divinely great.
4 Then all His faithful sons
Shall meet around the throne,
Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
And make His wonders known.
5 To our Redeemer, God
Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs.
Amen.
