What is our God, or what his name

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #16 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach; He dwells conceal'd in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach. 2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light, Compar'd with him, how short they fall! They are too dark, and he too bright, Nothing are they, and God is all. 3 He spoke that wondrous word,and lo! Creation rose at his command: Whirlwinds and seas their limits know, Bound in the hollow of his hand, 4 There rests the earth, there roll the spheres, There nature leans, and feels her prop: But his own self-sufficience bears The weight of his own glories up. 5 The tide of creatures ebbs and flows, Measuring their changes by the moon: No ebb his sea of glory knows: His age is one eternal noon. 6 Then fly, my song, an endless round, The lofty tune let Gabriel raise; All nature dwell upon the sound, But we can ne'er fulfil the praise.
