All powerful, self-existent God. [God unchangeable.] Published anonymously in B. Williams's Collection of Hymns for Public Worship on the General Principles of Natural and Revealed Religion, Salisbury, 1778, No. 3, in 6 stanzas of 4 lines and headed "The Immortality of God." It is based on Ps. cii. v. 27. In 1781 it was also included in his Book of Psalms, Salisb., p. 286, as version vi. of Ps. cii. After passing through several Unitarian Collections, it appeared in Longfellow and Johnson's American Hymns of the Spirit, 1864, No. 80, in 3 stanzas, being st. i., iii., and vi. of the original in an altered form. [William T. Brooke]
